  The SAP error message PPEFILT004 indicates that a filter has been copied from one location to another. This message is typically informational rather than an error, meaning that it is not necessarily indicative of a problem that needs to be resolved. Instead, it is a notification that a filter (which is a set of criteria used to limit data in reports or queries) has been successfully copied.
  Cause:
  
  The message is triggered when a filter is copied from one filter object (e.g., a filter set or a query) to another. This can occur during various operations in SAP, such as when a user is trying to create a new filter based on an existing one.
  
  Solution:
  Since this message is informational, there is generally no action required unless the copying of the filter was unexpected. If you are encountering this message and it is causing confusion, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Verify the Filter Copying Process: Check if the filter was copied intentionally. If it was part of a planned operation, you can proceed without concern.
  
  
  Review Filter Settings: If you did not intend to copy the filter, review the steps you took leading up to this message to understand why it occurred.
  
  
  Check for Duplicates: If the copied filter is causing issues (e.g., duplicates), you may want to delete or modify the newly created filter.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the implications of the copied filter, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP administrator for guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Filter Usage: Filters are commonly used in various SAP modules to refine data selection in reports, queries, and analyses.
  SAP Modules: This message may appear in different SAP modules, such as SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP ERP, depending on where filters are utilized.
