SAP Note 199959 - Information: change assignmt for operating concern

Component : Profitability Analysis - Structures

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/199959 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
SAP users attempting to reassign controlling areas to different operating concerns face complex challenges due to the inherent structure of Profitability Analysis data stored in table CE4XXXX. This note advises against such changes due to the risks of data inconsistency and system errors, such as KE499. The profitability segment numbers and the configurations of object tables are tightly coupled with their respective operating concerns, making straightforward reassignments unfeasible. If absolutely necessary, a manual workaround involves adjusting number ranges via object COPA_OBJ and migrating data with custom programs, considering tables CE4XXXX_ACCT and CE4XXXX_FLAG in releases 4.5 and 4.6C respectively. SAP provides specific correction program references and additional notes for processing documents related to different scenarios, but emphasizes the absence of a standard solution for adjusting settlements and documents in FI and MM areas, requiring bespoke modifications per document.
