Cause

There might be some warnings related to profit centers and/or segments in your current org structure.

In general, before scoping is completed, a check is done to verify if the organizational structure will remain consistent with the new scoping question switched on — although the settings causing the warnings to be raised might be fine in the current Business Configuration, they might not be acceptable after the new scoping is in place.

Resolution

First, check if there are any organizational centers already maintained in the system. If so, check if the structure raises any warnings upon checking:

  1. Go to the Organizational Management work center.
  2. Access the Org Structures work center.
  3. Select the top-most org unit of your structure.
  4. Click Edit.
  5. In the Planning Area screen, click Check, then select Check All.

If there are warnings, please correct them (the messages have straightforward texts on what must be altered) and activate the changes afterwards. This is highly recommended for any scoping change that may affect Organizational Management.

Once warnings have been resolved, you should be able to scope the question. If there are no warnings or even after resolving them, the error message is still raised in the Business Configuration, please report an incident.
