KX463 - Details

• The SAP error message KX463, which states "Compound characteristic requires transfer of further characteristics," typically occurs in the context of Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) when you are trying to transfer data that involves compound characteristics. This error indicates that the system expects additional characteristics to be transferred along with the compound characteristic.

For example, if you are using a compound characteristic that combines several individual characteristics, all of those individual characteristics must be included in the data transfer.
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the CO-PA settings where the compound characteristic is not properly set up to include the necessary characteristics.
  Data Transfer Logic: The logic used for data transfer may not be correctly set up to handle the compound characteristic
