• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE_CHACO080 - Number range status &1 to be set for COPA_OBJ / &2 is too small ?

  The SAP error message KE_CHACO080 indicates that the number range status for a specific object in the Controlling Profitability Analysis (COPA) is too small. This typically occurs when the system attempts to assign a new number to a COPA object (like a characteristic or a value field) but finds that the defined number range is exhausted or insufficient.
  Cause:
  
  Exhausted Number Range: The number range defined for the COPA object has been fully utilized, meaning there are no more available numbers to assign.
  Configuration Issues: The number range settings may not have been configured correctly, leading to a smaller range than required.
  Increased Data Volume: A sudden increase in the volume of data being processed in COPA can lead to the number range being exhausted more quickly than anticipated.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Extend the Number Range:
  
  Go to the transaction code SNRO (Number Range Objects).
