Profitability segment number & does not exist in operating concern &!

What causes this issue?

The system discovered a serious inconsistency in the data basis of
Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) This message should never occur in the
course of normal operations.
The system tried to find characteristics from the segment table CE4&V2&
using the segment number &V1& in operating concern &V2&. This
profitability segment number does not exist.
This can occur if you have deleted data from table CE4&V2& and have
already assigned data to profitability segments in this operating
concern.
Another cause may be that you have changed the assignment of your
controlling area to an operating concern. When this happens, the system
tries to interpret the segment numbers in the new operating concern.

System Response

How to fix this error?

The data in the segment table needs to be reconstructed. It may be
possible to re-enter the assignments to profitability segments.
