How To Fix KE0C144 - &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: 144

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

What causes this issue?

In account-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 objects. 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 KE0C144 - &1 can only be summarized with &3 -> Save not possible ?

  The SAP error message KE0C144 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.

  Cause:
  
  Summarization Limit Exceeded: The error arises when you attempt to summarize data that exceeds the allowed number of entries for a specific object. This can happen if you are trying to post too many line items or if the configuration for summarization is set too restrictively.
  Configuration Settings: The settings in the controlling area or the specific object may not allow for the number of entries you are trying to save.
  Data Structure: The data structure or the way the data is being processed may not align with the summarization rules defined in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Summarization Settings: Review the summarization settings for the relevant controlling area or object. You may need to adjust these settings to allow for more entries to be summarized.
  Reduce Number of Entries: If possible, try to reduce the number of line items you are trying to save. This could involve breaking down the entries into smaller batches.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the summarization limits for the object you are working with.
  System Configuration: If you have access, check the configuration in the SAP system (transaction codes like OKKP for controlling area settings) to see if there are any restrictions that can be modified.
