What causes this issue?

account-based Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) has encountered a

The program therefore had to be terminated.
This situation can arise if data has been posted to CO-PA since or less
than 30 minutes (safety buffer) before the build program for
summarization levels/data was started.
These message appeared because the program can not yet handle this
situation in Release 4.0A.

How to fix this error?

Make sure that no data is posted to Profitability Analysis less than 30
minutes before you build summarization levels or summarization data. If
you do that, this error will not occur again.
If if does occur again, look in OSS for a note regarding error message
<ZH>KE548</>. If you do not find a solution there for the problem,
