Message text: Element cannot be changed because report data is dependent on it
You wish to change an existing element in the key figure scheme.
However, this scheme is still used in reports containing data. To avoid
inconsistencies, you cannot change existing elements of the key figure
scheme. This restriction is not valid for newly created elements.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
You can reorganize the report data for the appropriate key figure
scheme. You access this function using 'Profitability report' ->
'Reorganization' -> 'Report data'. To avoid a reorganization, you can
add new elements to the key figure scheme in order to perform the
calculations you require.
