• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE_CHACO068 - Maximum number range status COPA_OBJ in old operating concern &1: &2 ?

  The SAP error message KE_CHACO068 indicates that the maximum number range for the characteristic COPA_OBJ (which is used in the Controlling Profitability Analysis - COPA module) has been reached in the specified operating concern. This typically occurs when the system has exhausted the available number range for the objects in that operating concern.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The primary cause of this error is that the number range for the COPA objects in the specified operating concern has been fully utilized. Each operating concern has a defined range of numbers that can be assigned to profitability segments, and once this range is exhausted, no new segments can be created.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Current Number Range: 
  
  Use transaction code SNUM to check the current number range settings for the COPA objects. This will help you understand how many numbers have been used and what the maximum limit is.
  
  
  
  Extend Number Range:
  
  If the number range is exhausted, you may need to extend it. This can be done by:
  
  Going to the number range object for COPA (usually COPA_OBJ).
  Adjusting the number range intervals to allow for more numbers.
  
  
  This typically requires access to configuration settings and may need to be done by someone with appropriate authorization (like a system administrator or SAP consultant).
  
  
  
  Archive Old Data:
  
  If extending the number range is not feasible, consider archiving old profitability segments that are no longer needed. This can free up space in the number range.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration of your operating concern to ensure that it is set up correctly and that the number ranges are appropriate for your business needs.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to number ranges in COPA for more detailed guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes: 
  
  SNUM: To manage number ranges.
  KE52: To display or change profitability segments.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes: 
  
  Check SAP Notes related to COPA and number ranges for any specific recommendations or updates.
  
  
  
  SAP Community: 
  
  Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights from other users who may have faced similar issues.
  
  
  
  Backup:
