• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IF137 - Objects with CI profiles are not permitted for the pld int.calculation ?

  The SAP error message IF137, which states "Objects with CI profiles are not permitted for the pld int.calculation," typically occurs in the context of Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) or similar modules where the system is trying to perform a planning or internal calculation involving characteristic (CI) profiles.
  Cause:
  The error is generally caused by the following reasons:
  
  
  CI Profiles: The object you are trying to use in the planning or internal calculation has a characteristic (CI) profile assigned to it. CI profiles are used to define how characteristics are handled in the system, and certain operations or calculations may not support these profiles.
  
  
  Planning Configuration: The planning configuration may not allow for the use of objects with CI profiles in the specific context you are working in. This could be due to settings in the planning layout or the characteristics used in the planning process.
  
  
  Data Structure: The data structure of the planning object may not be compatible with the characteristics defined in the CI profile.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check CI Profile Assignment: Review the assignment of CI profiles to the objects you are trying to use. If possible, try to use objects that do not have CI profiles assigned.
  
  
  Review Planning Layout: Check the planning layout and ensure that it is configured correctly. Make sure that the characteristics used in the layout are compatible with the objects you are trying to plan.
  
  
  Adjust Planning Configuration: If you have access to configuration settings, you may need to adjust the planning configuration to allow for the use of CI profiles in the specific context.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module you are working with. There may be specific guidelines or restrictions regarding the use of CI profiles in planning.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot find a resolution, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They may provide insights based on the specific version of SAP you are using and any known issues.
