3702096 - Error message KE396 - inconsistency between document field and profitability segment number

Error message: "Inconsistency between a document field and the prof. segment number" occurs while posting documents through Fiori app "Post General Journal Entries" (App ID: F2547).

COPA derivation logic (KEDR) is used to derive Plant from Profit Center. However, the error occurs despite the Plant being populated in the account assignment field, which should take precedence over COPA derivation.

The issue also occurs during Purchase Order (PO) creation, where the Plant in the PO line item differs from the Plant derived from the Profit Center in COPA, causing inconsistency errors.
