How To Fix AFWCH_DB019 - Proposal for segment level characteristics was generated (see long text)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AFWCH_DB - Analyzer Framework: Data Basis (Charact., Structures, Segm.)

• Message number: 019

• Message text: Proposal for segment level characteristics was generated (see long text)

What causes this issue?

The decision as to whether a characteristic is used as a segment-level
characteristic should be based on the anticipated number of values for
the characteristic. You should not use characteristics with an
extremely large number of values (for example, consecutive numbers such
as the transaction number or contract number).
Since the actual number of characteristic values is not known at this
point in time, the proposal created here is based on the properties of
the characteristic:
Characteristics that have neither a check table nor fixed values are
not used as segment-level characteristics.
Characteristics with fixed values are used.
Characteristics with individual value maintenance (a generated check
table) are used.
Characteristics with a delivered check table are used if the check
table does not belong to delivery class A (application data).
The company code (a required characteristic in the analysis structure)
is always used as a segment-level characteristic.
