• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KY073 - You scrolled to column & & ?

  The SAP error message KY073 ("You scrolled to column & &") typically occurs in the context of the SAP Controlling (CO) module, particularly when working with reports or transactions that involve displaying data in a tabular format. This error indicates that the user has attempted to scroll beyond the available columns in the report or display.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following:
  
  Exceeding Column Limits: The user has tried to scroll to a column that does not exist in the report or display.
  Display Settings: The layout or configuration of the report may not be set up to show all the columns, leading to an attempt to access non-existent columns.
  Data Volume: If the dataset is large, it may not be possible to display all columns at once, and scrolling may lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the KY073 error, you can try the following steps:
  
  
  Check Column Availability: Ensure that you are not trying to scroll to a column that is not part of the report. Review the report layout to confirm the available columns.

  Going to the layout settings of the report.
  Adding or removing columns as necessary.
  
  
  
  Use Filters: If the report contains a large number of columns, consider applying filters to reduce the amount of data displayed at one time. This can help in managing the view and avoiding scrolling errors.
  
  
  Refresh the Report: Sometimes, simply refreshing the report or re-running the transaction can resolve temporary display issues.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, refer to SAP documentation or help resources specific to the transaction or report you are using for additional troubleshooting steps.
