How To Fix KE0C144 - &1 can only be summarized with &3 -> Save not possible

KE0C144 - Overview

• 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. 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 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
