  The SAP error message /PM0/ABR_PM_ERRORS096 indicating that the "Profit parameter (dividend rate) not unique" typically arises in the context of Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) or similar financial modules where profit parameters are defined for various characteristics.
  Cause:
  This error usually occurs when there are multiple entries for the same profit parameter (in this case, the dividend rate) in the system, leading to ambiguity.

  Use transaction codes like KE52 (Change Profitability Segment) or KE53 (Display Profitability Segment) to check for duplicates.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: Ensure that the configuration settings for the profit parameters are set up correctly. This may involve checking the settings in the CO-PA configuration or related areas.
