• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE732 - This function is only supported for blocking factor 1 ?

  The SAP error message KE732, which states "This function is only supported for blocking factor 1," typically occurs in the context of Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) when you are trying to execute a report or transaction that requires a specific configuration of the data.
