• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KH845 - Key figure "&1" is not defined in table T237 (operating concern "&2") ?

  The SAP error message KH845 indicates that a specific key figure is not defined in the table T237 for the specified operating concern. This typically occurs in the context of Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) when you are trying to access or manipulate data related to key figures that are not properly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Key Figure Definition: The key figure you are trying to use (indicated by "&1") is not defined in the T237 table for the specified operating concern (indicated by "&2"). This can happen if the key figure was never created or if it was deleted or deactivated.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a configuration issue where the key figure is not assigned to the operating concern you are working with.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another, it might not have included the necessary definitions for the key figure.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Definition:
  
  Go to transaction code KEDR (or KE4I) to check the key figure definitions in the operating concern.
  Verify if the key figure exists in the T237 table for the specified operating concern.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Key Figure:
  
  If the key figure does not exist, you may need to create it. This can be done in the configuration settings for CO-PA.
  If it exists but is not correctly configured, you may need to modify its settings.
  
  
  
  Review Operating Concern Settings:
  
  Ensure that the operating concern is correctly set up and that all necessary key figures are defined.
  Check if the key figure is assigned to the correct value fields and that the value fields are properly linked to the operating concern.
  
  
  
  Transport Configuration:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request.
  If needed, re-transport the configuration or manually create the missing key figure in the target system.
