• Message number: 015

• Message text: Profitability segment & does not exist - inconsistent data

What causes this issue?

Profitability segment number &V1&, which is specified in the original
document, does not exist in the segment table CE4&V2& in operating
concern &V2&.
<ZH>This error should be corrected as soon as possible, because it
could lead to irreparable data inconsistencies!</>
The profitability segment number is stored as the assignment object in
the order. The corresponding operating concern is found based on the
assignment of a controlling area. The following two situations lead to
this error:
The assignment of the controlling area to operating concern &V2& has
been changed.
Data has been deleted from table CE4&V2&.

How to fix this error?

Due to the large number of possible errors, it is not possible to
provide a global solution. Proceed as follows:
If the assignment of controlling area to operating concern was changed,
and if the new operating concern does not yet contain any records
(tables CE1&V2& and CE4&V2& are still empty), you can still assign the
controlling area back to the old operating concern.
