• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5D095 - Summation only possible for normal calculation ?

  The SAP error message 5D095 ("Summation only possible for normal calculation") typically occurs in the context of SAP's reporting or data processing functionalities, particularly when dealing with calculations in reports or queries. This error indicates that a summation operation is being attempted on a dataset that is not suitable for such an operation, often due to the nature of the data or the type of calculation being performed.
  Cause:
  
  Inappropriate Calculation Type: The error may arise if you are trying to perform a summation on a field that is not defined for summation (e.g., a text field or a field with non-numeric data).
  Data Type Mismatch: The data type of the field being summed may not support summation (e.g., character fields).
  Aggregation Level: The aggregation level of the data may not allow for summation, especially if the data is grouped in a way that does not support it.
  Incorrect Query Design: The query or report may be incorrectly designed, leading to an attempt to sum fields that are not aggregatable.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Ensure that the fields you are trying to sum are numeric. If they are not, you may need to convert them or choose a different field for summation.
  Review Query/Report Design: Go through the design of your query or report to ensure that the fields being summed are appropriate for aggregation. Make sure that the fields are set up correctly in the data source.
  Use Aggregation Functions: If you are using a custom calculation, ensure that you are using the correct aggregation functions that are compatible with the data types involved.
  Adjust Grouping: If the data is grouped, check the grouping levels to ensure that they allow for summation. You may need to adjust the grouping criteria.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the report or query you are working with, as there may be nuances specific to the version or module you are using.
