• Message number: 077

• Message text: After generating, reset the new characteristics

What causes this issue?

You have added characteristics to your operating concern, or SAP has
added new fixed characteristics. After you generate the operating
concern, these characteristics fields have an undefined content in the
database. As a result, the system creates new objects instead of using
the existing profitability segments.
This can double your data volume in the table and the profitability
segment levels each time you add a field. This leads to worse response
times.

Note that this function must also be executed if SAP adds new fixed
characteristics.

How to fix this error?

characteristics. To do this, selection function <LS>Details ->
Initialize</> in characteristic/value field maintenance.
