KS209 - Details

• The SAP error message KS209 indicates that a statistical key figure (SKF) has been marked for deletion in the system, and you are attempting to perform an action that is not allowed on that SKF. This typically occurs in the context of cost center accounting or internal order management, where statistical key figures are used for various allocations and reporting purposes.
  
  Cause:
  
  Marked for Deletion: The statistical key figure you are trying to use has been flagged for deletion in the system.
  Data Integrity: The system prevents actions on SKFs that are marked for deletion to maintain data integrity and avoid inconsistencies in reporting and allocations.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Deletion Flag: 
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., KS02 for changing cost centers) and check if the SKF is indeed marked for deletion.
  If it is, you can either remove the deletion flag or create a new SKF if the existing one is no longer needed.
