Diagnosis
You posted to a profitability segment for primary cost element &V1&.However, only costing-based profitability analysis is active in yourcontrolling area. For primary cost elements (cost element category 01)postings from SD (billing documents) are not updated in costing-basedprofitability analysis. In Cost Element Accounting (CO-OM) the postingis updated only on a reconciliation object.
Posting to a profitability segment therefore is of no use.

System Response

Procedure
Change the account assignment of the sales document. Enter a differenttrue account assignment (e.g. internal order, cost center, project...)in place of the profitability segment.
Alternative procedure:
In Customizing, you can switch this message off, or change the messagecategory.

• If you switch off the message, or change it to an information or
warning message, the system deletes the account assignment for theprofitability segment. This can have a number of consequences:
If no other account assignment object is specified, the system displaysthe error message KI235 or KI248
.
If another, true account assignment object (such as a cost center orsales order) is specified, this object is updated in Cost ElementAccounting.

• If the account assignment of the profitability segment without a
corresponding posting in CO-PA is acceptable, change the message typeof message KI183 to "A".
In this instance, message type "A" does not lead to the normalcancellation message, but is used in this case to recreate the programlogic as it existed in previous Releases (up to 4.5B). Under "A", theaccount assignment of the profitability segment is not deletedand no error message is displayed.
As described above, the posting in Cost Element Accounting is updatedon one reconciliation object only.

Procedure for System Administration
To change the message type for message KI183: see the GeneralControlling section of the Implementation Guide (IMG) underChange Message Control (work area "KI",message number "183").
