Summary :
When attempting to delete a characteristic from the CO-PA field catalog in Transaction KEA5, error K6431 occurs, indicating that data element &1 is still used in table/view &2, with &2 often being COPAFIELDS, COPACRIT, COPABBSEG, and tables with these structures as an include. This happens due to technical limitations preventing automatic removal of &1. The solution requires manually deleting &1 from the mentioned tables/structures using SE11, ensuring the removal occurs only for specified structures. Special care must be taken with structures KOMKAKE and KOMPAKE to avoid affecting CO-PA evaluations if the characteristic is used in condition tables.
