  The SAP error message KJ487 ("Qty ID &: Use only with profit basis C, E, F, or X") typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) and profitability analysis (CO-PA) when there is an issue with the quantity type (Qty ID) being used in conjunction with a profit basis that is not compatible.
  Cause:

  Adjust Quantity ID: If the profit basis is correct, check the quantity ID you are using. Make sure it is compatible with the profit basis. If it is not, you may need to change the quantity ID to one that is valid for the selected profit basis.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you are unsure about the allowed combinations of quantity IDs and profit bases, consult your SAP configuration settings or documentation. You may need to involve your SAP CO consultant to verify the settings.
