How To Fix KI350 - Profitability segment being derived again

KI350 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KI -

• Message number: 350

• Message text: Profitability segment being derived again

What causes this issue?

You have assigned an profitability segment with the auxiliary account
assignment &V1& &V2&. The profitability segment, however, contains the
characteristics &V3& &V4&.

System Response

The characteristics of the profitability segment and the auxiliary
account assignments must not contain different values. In particular,
the profit center and business area must match.

How to fix this error?

If the auxiliary account assignment &V1& &V2& is correctly assigned,
confirm this message. The profitability segment is then derived again
with the relevant characteristics of the auxiliary account assignment.
Otherwise, change the auxiliary account assignment(s) so that they match
the characteristics of the profitability segment.
This message is issued as a warning message as standard. If you confirm
the message, the profitability segment will be re-derived.
In Customizing, you can change the message type, or deactivate the
message:
Message deactivated: The profitability segment is re-derived, the
message is not issued.
Message type S, I or W (standard): The profitability segment is
re-derived, the message is issued.
Message type E: An error message is issued and the profitability segment
is not re-derived.
Message type A: <ZH>No</> error message is issued, and the profitability
segment is not re-derived.
Message type A does not lead to a termination message in this case.
Instead, it is used to recreate the program logic from earlier releases
(up to 4.0B). These settings can lead to subsequent errors, such as
error message <DS:NA.BK134>BK134</>.
