  Check Configuration: Review the configuration of the rules in the Profitability Analysis settings. Ensure that if you are using a non-default check layout, the layout number is different from the override number.
  Modify Layout/Override Numbers: Change either the layout number or the override number to ensure they are not the same. This can typically be done in the configuration settings where the rules are defined.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to Profitability Analysis for specific guidelines on configuring rules and layouts.
