Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KH069 - The data has been summarized for the characteristic "&" ?

  The SAP error message KH069 indicates that the data has been summarized for a specific characteristic in the context of CO-PA (Controlling-Profitability Analysis). This typically occurs when you are trying to access detailed data for a characteristic that has been summarized in the database.
  Cause:
  
  Data Summarization: The data for the characteristic you are trying to analyze has been summarized, meaning that the detailed line items are not available for that characteristic. This can happen during the data aggregation process in CO-PA, where detailed records are summarized into higher-level records for reporting purposes.
  Reporting Settings: The settings in your reporting or analysis tool may be configured to display summarized data instead of detailed data.
  Data Archiving: If data archiving has been performed, the detailed records may have been archived and are no longer available in the active database.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in your CO-PA module to ensure that the summarization settings are appropriate for your reporting needs. You may need to adjust the settings to allow for detailed data retrieval.
  Access Detailed Data: If you need to access detailed data, you may need to run a different report or use a different transaction that allows for detailed data retrieval. For example, using transaction codes like KE24 (Display Line Items) can help you access detailed line items.
  Review Data Archiving: If data archiving is the issue, check with your SAP Basis or data management team to see if the detailed records can be restored or if you can access archived data.
  Use Alternative Reports: If the report you are using is designed to show summarized data, consider using alternative reports or tools that can provide the level of detail you need.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes in CO-PA, such as KE30 (Report Painter) and KE24 (Display Line Items).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific issues or updates related to the KH069 error message. SAP Notes can provide additional context or solutions for known issues.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on CO-PA summarization and reporting to understand how data is aggregated and how to configure your reports accordingly.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in CO-PA for further assistance.
