• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1X074 - Select a structure that was generated by manual selection ?

  The SAP error message 1X074 ("Select a structure that was generated by manual selection") typically occurs in the context of SAP reporting or data extraction, particularly when working with structures in the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or similar environments. This error indicates that the system expects a specific type of structure that has been manually defined or selected, but the user has either not selected a valid structure or has selected an automatic or system-generated structure instead.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Structure Selection: The user may have selected a structure that was not manually created or defined, which is required for the operation being performed.
  Missing Manual Structures: The required manual structures may not have been created or may not be available in the system.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to access or view the manually created structures.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the SAP system that prevent the proper display or selection of manual structures.
  
  Solution:
  
  Select the Correct Structure: Ensure that you are selecting a structure that has been manually created. You may need to check with your SAP BW administrator or the person responsible for data modeling in your organization to identify the correct structure.
  Create a Manual Structure: If the required manual structure does not exist, you may need to create one. This typically involves defining the structure in the SAP BW modeling tools.
  Check User Permissions: Verify that you have the necessary permissions to access the manual structures. If not, contact your system administrator to grant you the required access.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to create and select manual structures in your specific SAP environment.
