• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE_CHACO138 - Operating concern &1 is only defined for costing-based prof. analysis ?

  The SAP error message KE_CHACO138 indicates that the operating concern you are trying to use is only defined for costing-based profitability analysis (CO-PA). This typically occurs when you attempt to perform a transaction or report that requires a different type of profitability analysis, such as account-based CO-PA, while the operating concern is set up for costing-based CO-PA.
  
  Cause:
  
  Operating Concern Configuration: The operating concern is configured only for costing-based profitability analysis. This means that it does not support account-based profitability analysis.
  Transaction Type: You may be trying to execute a transaction or report that is not compatible with the configuration of the operating concern.
  Data Structure: The data structure for costing-based and account-based CO-PA is different, and the system is enforcing the rules based on the configuration.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Operating Concern Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the operating concern in SAP (Transaction code: OKKP).
  Verify if the operating concern is indeed set up for costing-based CO-PA.
