• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE_CHACO137 - Only costing-based prof. analysis is active for operating concern &1 ?

  The SAP error message KE_CHACO137 indicates that only costing-based profitability analysis is active for the specified operating concern. This means that the system is configured to use costing-based profitability analysis, and any attempts to access or use account-based profitability analysis will result in this error.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Settings: The operating concern in question is set up to use only costing-based profitability analysis. This is a configuration setting in the SAP system.
  Data Access: The user may be trying to access account-based profitability analysis data, which is not available because the operating concern is not configured for it.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide (IMG) and navigate to the following path:
  Controlling -> Profitability Analysis -> Basic Settings -> Activate Profitability Analysis
  
  Verify the settings for the operating concern. If you need account-based profitability analysis, you may need to adjust the configuration.
  
  
  
  Activate Account-Based Profitability Analysis:
  
  If you want to use account-based profitability analysis, you will need to activate it for the operating concern. This may involve additional configuration steps and possibly data migration if you have existing data in costing-based profitability analysis.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for detailed steps on how to configure profitability analysis settings.

  Related Information:
  
  Profitability Analysis Types: Understand the differences between costing-based and account-based profitability analysis. Costing-based profitability analysis focuses on costs and revenues, while account-based profitability analysis is more aligned with financial accounting.
  Impact of Changes: Be aware that changing the configuration may impact existing reports and data. It is advisable to perform such changes in a test environment first.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as KE30 (Report for Profitability Analysis) and KE24 (Display Line Items) to analyze profitability data.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the KE_CHACO137 error and configure your SAP system to meet your profitability analysis needs.
