KE254 - Details

• The SAP error message KE254 indicates that a derivation structure does not exist in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) when the system is trying to derive values based on a specified derivation structure that has not been defined or is not available in the system.
  
  Cause:
  
  Missing Derivation Structure: The specified derivation structure has not been created or is not active in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the derivation structure may be incorrect or incomplete.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the derivation structure.
  Transport Issues: If the derivation structure was recently transported from another system, it may not have been properly imported.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Derivation Structure:
  
  Go to the transaction code KE4S (for derivation structure maintenance) and verify if the derivation structure exists.
  If it does not exist, you will need to create it or activate it if it is inactive.
