How To Fix KE0C143 - &1 can only be summarized with &3 -> Save not possible

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KE0C - CO-PA: Customizing checks

• Message number: 143

• Message text: &1 can only be summarized with &3 -> Save not possible

What causes this issue?

In costing-based Profitability Analysis, characteristic "&V1&" ("&V2&")
should not be used to build profitability segments. Instead, it should
be used in summarization.
However, the dependent characteristic "&V3&" ("&V4&") exists for this
characteristic and should be used to build profitability segments. It
is not possible to keep this setting or to exclude just characteristic
"&V1&" from the segment-level characteristics because a dependent
characteristic cannot be used on its own. The characteristic values for
the dependent characterisic "&V3&" can only be used in combination with
the higher-level characteristic values for "&V1&".

System Response

The settings you have made cannot be saved because they would cause the
data to be inconsistent.

How to fix this error?

Exclude the dependent characteristic "&V3&" as well from the
segment-level characteristics.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE0C143 - &1 can only be summarized with &3 -> Save not possible ?

  The SAP error message KE0C143 indicates that a certain object (like a cost center or internal order) can only be summarized with a specific number of entries, and the system is preventing you from saving the data because it exceeds that limit. This typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) and can be related to the summarization settings in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Summarization Limit Exceeded: The error arises when you attempt to summarize more entries than allowed for a particular object. Each object in SAP CO has a defined limit for how many entries can be summarized.
  Configuration Settings: The configuration settings for summarization in the controlling area or for specific cost objects may be set too restrictively.
  Data Entry Issues: There may be issues with the data being entered, such as incorrect or excessive entries that lead to the summarization limit being breached.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Summarization Settings: Review the summarization settings in the controlling area. You may need to adjust the settings to allow for more entries to be summarized.
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings in SAP (Transaction code: SPRO) and check the settings under Controlling > General Controlling > Settings for Summarization.
  
  
  
  Reduce Entries: If possible, reduce the number of entries you are trying to summarize. This may involve splitting the data into smaller batches or adjusting the data being entered.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the summarization limits for the objects you are working with.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot find a resolution, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They may provide insights specific to your system configuration.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as KSB1 (Cost Centers: Actual Line Items) or KOB1 (Orders: Actual Line Items) to analyze the data entries.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If you have custom developments, check if there are any user exits or BAdIs that might be affecting the summarization process.
  System Logs: Review system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
