• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message J3068 - With results analysis type '&' use results reserve 'A' ?

  The SAP error message J3068, which states "With results analysis type '&' use results reserve 'A'," typically occurs in the context of results analysis in SAP Controlling (CO). This error is related to the configuration of results analysis types and how they interact with results reserves.
  Cause:
  The error arises when there is a mismatch between the results analysis type being used and the results reserve settings. Specifically, it indicates that the results analysis type you are trying to use requires a specific results reserve (in this case, 'A'), but the system is not configured to allow that combination.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Results Analysis Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for results analysis types in SAP. This can typically be found in the SPRO transaction under:
  Controlling -> Product Cost Controlling -> Results Analysis -> Define Results Analysis Types
  
  Verify that the results analysis type you are using is correctly configured to allow the use of results reserve 'A'.
  
  
  
  Adjust Results Reserve Settings:
  
  If the results analysis type is set to require results reserve 'A', ensure that the relevant settings for results reserves are correctly defined. This can also be found in the configuration settings under:
  Controlling -> Product Cost Controlling -> Results Analysis -> Define Results Reserves
  
  
  
  
  Review the Document:
  
  Check the document or transaction that triggered the error. Ensure that all necessary fields and settings are correctly filled out and that the document is in a valid state for results analysis.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on results analysis types and reserves. This can provide insights into the specific requirements and configurations needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making any changes, perform a test to see if the error persists. If it does, you may need to further investigate the specific configuration or consult with an SAP expert.
