KH036 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KH - CO-PA Reporting

• Message number: 036

• Message text: Key figure & is not defined correctly -> check definition

What causes this issue?

In key figure &V3& &V1&, quantities are multiplied with values. This is
not possible.
You probably defined a basic key figure to contain a price. However,
the database should only contain values which can be added.
Quotas and prices are calculated as key figures. When it calculates
them, the system totals the values at each level,
and then calculates the key figure.
If a price was saved as a basic key figure, you can use the function
"Maintain key figure" to change the flag "No aggregation required", so
that the system will multiply or divide before aggregating the
values. The key figure is then assigned to the group "Other
columns".

How to fix this error?

Check the definition of key figure &V3& &V1&.
