• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MAFWKF124 - Different period were entered for the key figures in procedure &1 ?

  The SAP error message MAFWKF124 indicates that there is a mismatch in the periods entered for key figures in a specific procedure. This typically occurs in the context of planning or reporting where different time periods are being used for key figures that are expected to align.

  Align Periods: If the key figures are meant to be compared or aggregated, ensure that they are aligned to the same period. This may involve adjusting the data or the configuration settings.
  Review Procedure Configuration: Check the configuration of the procedure itself to ensure that it is set up correctly to handle the key figures and their respective periods.
  Data Validation: Validate the data entries for the key figures to ensure that they are consistent and correct. This may involve checking for any manual entries that could have caused the mismatch.
