  The SAP error message KE625 indicates that there is an issue with the operating concern in the Controlling (CO) module, specifically related to the Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) component. This error typically arises when you attempt to delete an operating concern that contains data, which is not allowed in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the operating concern you are trying to delete has existing data in the associated tables. SAP does not allow the deletion of an operating concern if it has any data entries, as this could lead to data integrity issues.

  Delete Data: 
  
  If you confirm that there is data in the operating concern, you will need to delete this data before you can delete the operating concern itself.
