  The SAP error message KEO094 indicates that there is an inactive object (such as a cost center, internal order, or other controlling objects) in the specified controlling area that needs to be activated before you can proceed with the generation of certain reports or processes in the Controlling (CO) module.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to execute a transaction or report that requires certain controlling objects to be active, but one or more of those objects are currently inactive. This can happen if:

  To resolve the KEO094 error, you need to activate the specified inactive object in the controlling area. Here are the steps to do this:

  Activate the Object:
  
  If the object is inactive, you will need to change its status to active. This usually involves editing the object and ensuring that it is set to active in the relevant fields.
  Save your changes.
