Hi Menakshi ,

I can see that you are talking about the Inbound Idoc not successfully posted right ?

As the message say that you are not using the appropriate characteristic value please find a possible entry for that field and try to reprocess in WE19 with the new value.

If still you face the same issue you can find the reason for the failure in Application Log for that Idoc .

to see that application logs , click on the TOP most status record of the IDOC and once you are in next detailed screen click on the Application Log button which will show you the clear and exact reason why your IDOC is getting failed or unable to post .

Hi Meenashi,

Its look like your file not in proper format and data is  loading into incorrect fields that;'s why system is unable to determine the characteristic in COPA . can you try to enter same data  in We19 manually gengerate the IDoc and find out teh problem

Hi Preeti,

We are inputting the info manually only in WE19

and creating the idoc then too its giving this error.

In screen structure , which determines the sequence of characteristics on the screen where you enter the profitability segments, an entry was made for characteristic . This characteristic does not exist in operating concern .

Procedure

Maintain screen structure for the characteristics screen in operating concern . You do this in CO-PA Customizing.

Seems to me you have a blank value hence message ' "" has not been defined in operating concern 10US'
