• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KCRP019 - Characteristic has a single value. Selection not possible. ?

  The SAP error message KCRP019 indicates that a characteristic in a planning scenario has been defined with a single value, which prevents the selection of multiple values for that characteristic. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Controlling (CO) module, particularly in Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) or other planning-related transactions.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A characteristic is defined in a way that it can only take a single value (e.g., a characteristic that is set to a specific value in the planning layout).
  The user attempts to select or filter on multiple values for that characteristic, which is not allowed due to its single-value definition.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Definition:
  
  Go to the characteristic settings in the relevant planning area or layout.
  Verify if the characteristic is indeed set to allow only a single value. If it is, consider whether it should be changed to allow multiple values.
  
  
  
  Modify Planning Layout:
  
  If you are using a planning layout, check the layout settings to see if the characteristic is set to allow multiple selections.
  Adjust the layout to allow for multiple values if that aligns with your planning requirements.
  
  
  
  Review User Input:
  
  Ensure that the user is not trying to select multiple values for a characteristic that is defined as single-value. Educate users on the limitations of the characteristic.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific planning scenario you are working with. This can provide insights into how characteristics are defined and used.
