SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KM - Error messages for Profit Center Accounting

• Message number: 545

• Message text: Valuation area &1 is not possible in company code &2

What causes this issue?

You have specified both a valuation area and a company code when
maintaining the entry for a derivation step. However, valuation area
&V1& does not belong to company code &V2&. Therefore this derivation
entry does not make sense.

How to fix this error?

Check your entries for the valuation area and the company code.
When maintaining derivation steps, you should try to avoid using both a
company code and a valuation area as source fields. If you do, the
company code is redundant and therefore unnecessary.
