• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KK100 - Width of selected columns changed ?

  The SAP error message KK100, which states "Width of selected columns changed," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when working with reports or layouts in transaction codes like KSB1 (Cost Centers: Actual Line Items) or KOB1 (Order: Actual Line Items). This error indicates that the layout of the report has been altered, and the system is unable to process the selected columns as they do not match the expected format.
  Cause:
  
  Layout Changes: The error often arises when the layout of the report has been modified, such as adding or removing columns, or changing the width of existing columns.
  Inconsistent Data Structure: If the underlying data structure has changed (e.g., new fields added or existing fields removed), it can lead to this error.
  User-Specific Settings: Sometimes, user-specific settings or customizations can lead to discrepancies in how the report is displayed.

  Check User Settings:
  
  If the issue persists, check if the problem is user-specific. Log in with a different user ID to see if the error occurs. If it does not, you may need to reset the user-specific settings for the affected user.
