  Cause:
  
  Operating Concern Configuration: The operating concern may not be set up to support account-based CO-PA. This can happen if the operating concern is configured only for costing-based CO-PA.

  Data Structure: The data structure for the operating concern may not include the necessary characteristics and value fields required for account-based CO-PA.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Operating Concern Settings:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the operating concern in the SAP system (Transaction code: OKKP).
  Verify if the operating concern is set up for account-based CO-PA. If it is not, you may need to create a new operating concern that supports account-based CO-PA.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:

  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation related to CO-PA configuration to ensure that all necessary steps have been followed for setting up account-based CO-PA.
