• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KM635 - Profile & is not allowed for planning statistical key figures ?

  The SAP error message KM635, which states "Profile & is not allowed for planning statistical key figures," typically occurs in the context of planning and budgeting within SAP, particularly when dealing with statistical key figures (SKF) in the Controlling (CO) module.
  Cause:
  The error is generally caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Profile Configuration: The planning profile assigned to the statistical key figure does not allow for planning. This could be due to the settings in the planning profile that restrict certain operations or types of data.
  
  
  Statistical Key Figure Settings: The statistical key figure itself may not be configured to allow planning. This can happen if the SKF is set up in a way that it is not intended for planning purposes.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: There may be authorization restrictions preventing the user from executing planning activities for the specified statistical key figure.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the KM635 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Planning Profile:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the planning profile in SAP (Transaction code: OKEQ).
  Ensure that the profile assigned to the statistical key figure allows for planning. If not, you may need to create or modify a profile that permits planning for SKFs.
  
  
  
  Review Statistical Key Figure Settings:
  
  Check the configuration of the statistical key figure (Transaction code: KSV1 for creating or KSV2 for changing).
  Ensure that the SKF is set up correctly and is intended for planning. If it is not, you may need to adjust its settings or create a new SKF that allows planning.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform planning activities for the statistical key figures. This may involve checking user roles and permissions in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to planning profiles and statistical key figures for additional guidance on configuration and usage.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the planning process again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
