• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE107 - Only one type of profitability analysis was activated ?

  The SAP error message KE107 ("Only one type of profitability analysis was activated") typically occurs in the context of Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) when there is an attempt to use multiple types of profitability analysis simultaneously, which is not allowed in SAP.
  Cause:
  This error arises when:
  
  You have not activated the required type of profitability analysis (either account-based or costing-based).
  You are trying to perform operations that require a different type of profitability analysis than what is currently activated in your system.

  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make these changes.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction/Report Requirements:
