KJ142 - Details

• The SAP error message KJ142 ("Results analysis only for main items") typically occurs in the context of results analysis (RA) in SAP Controlling (CO) when you attempt to perform results analysis on a subordinate item (such as a sub-item or a component) instead of a main item (like a main project or cost object).
  
  Cause:
  
  Item Type: The error indicates that the results analysis process is only applicable to main items. Subordinate items do not have the necessary data or configuration to perform results analysis.
  
  Configuration Issues: The configuration of the results analysis settings may not allow for subordinate items to be processed.
  Data Entry: You may be trying to execute results analysis on a cost object that is not set up correctly or does not meet the criteria for results analysis.
