KE393 - Details

• The SAP error message KE393 indicates that the weekly planning functionality in SAP's Controlling (CO) module, specifically in the context of Costing-based Profitability Analysis (CO-PA), cannot be utilized because the planning data is not in the required format. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:

  Solutions:
  
  Check Planning Type: Ensure that the planning type you are using is compatible with costing-based CO-PA.
