  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_TEST301 - KF &1: Calculation type does not agree with key figure type ?

    The SAP error message /SAPAPO/OM_TEST301 KF &1: Calculation type does not agree with key figure type typically occurs in the context of SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is a mismatch between the calculation type defined for a key figure and the actual type of the key figure itself.

    2. Incorrect Key Figure Settings: The key figure may have been incorrectly configured in the planning area or in the key figure settings.

      • Go to the key figure settings in the SAP APO system.
      • Verify the calculation type assigned to the key figure in question.
      • Ensure that the calculation type is appropriate for the key figure type (e.g., cumulative vs. non-cumulative).
    2. Adjust Calculation Type:

      • If the calculation type is incorrect, change it to match the key figure type.
      • This can be done in the key figure definition in the planning area.
    3. Review Planning Area Settings:

      • Check the planning area configuration to ensure that all key figures are correctly defined and that their settings are consistent with the intended use.
    4. Test Changes:

      • After making adjustments, test the changes to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
    5. Consult Documentation:

      • Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed information on key figure types and calculation types to ensure proper configuration.

    Related Information:

    • Key Figures in SAP APO: Key figures are essential components in SAP APO that represent quantitative data used in planning processes. They can be cumulative, non-cumulative, or other types depending on the business requirements.
    • Calculation Types: Calculation types define how the values of key figures are calculated and can include options like "Sum," "Average," "Maximum," etc.
