How To Fix KF690 - Report RKE_CHECK_SETS

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KF -

• Message number: 690

• Message text: Report RKE_CHECK_SETS

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

This report checks the consistency of set hierarchies.
Due to a programming error (see note 362369), set hierarchies with a
corrupt pointer structure can occur when an operating concern is copied
(transaction KECP). When the COPA sets are copied, the new operating
concern identifier is appended to the set name (separated by a period)
and created in the target operating concern, thereby avoiding naming
conflicts. However, the pointers were not adjusted. to the copied sets
and therefore still point to the sets in the original operating
concern. Use of these sets can lead to data inconsistencies in
Profitability Analysis during assessment and activity allocation.

How to fix this error?

Execute the report to look for incorrect references and to check for
their use in assessment and activity allocation in Profitability
Analysis.
If possible, any sets found are corrected automatically.
Sets assigned to other applications or sets deleted/changed since being
copied can no longer be corrected automatically.
