• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NPA_CO004 - No statistical key figure postings found ?

  The SAP error message NPA_CO004 ("No statistical key figure postings found") typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) when you are trying to execute a transaction that requires statistical key figures, but the system cannot find any relevant postings for the specified period or object.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Postings Made: The most common cause is that there are no statistical key figure postings for the specified period or cost object. This can happen if the statistical key figures have not been maintained or if the relevant transactions have not been executed.
  
  
  Incorrect Period: The period you are trying to analyze may not have any data. Ensure that you are looking at the correct fiscal period.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the controlling area or the statistical key figures themselves.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the statistical key figures.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Statistical Key Figures: Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., transaction code KSU5 for maintaining statistical key figures) and ensure that the statistical key figures are correctly defined and that there are postings for the period in question.
  
  
  Post Data: If there are no postings, you may need to create or post statistical key figures for the relevant cost centers or internal orders.
  
  
  Verify Period: Double-check the period you are analyzing. Make sure it aligns with the periods where you expect to see data.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you suspect a configuration issue, review the settings in the controlling area and ensure that statistical key figures are properly set up.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view the statistical key figures. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
  
  
  Use Reports: Utilize standard SAP reports (like S_ALR_87013611) to check for existing statistical key figure postings to confirm whether data exists.
