  The SAP error message AFWGO_MESSAGES405 indicates that there is an issue with the selection of key figures in a report or query. Specifically, it suggests that either no key figures have been selected or that more than 40 key figures have been selected, which exceeds the allowable limit.
  Cause:
  
  No Key Figures Selected: This can happen if the user did not select any key figures when setting up the report or query.
  More than 40 Key Figures Selected: SAP has a limitation on the number of key figures that can be processed in certain reports or queries. If the user selects more than 40 key figures, this error will be triggered.

  Ensure that at least one key figure is selected in your report or query.
  If no key figures are selected, go back to the selection screen and choose the appropriate key figures.
  
  
  
  Limit Key Figures:
  
  If you have selected more than 40 key figures, you will need to reduce the number of key figures to 40 or fewer.
  Review the key figures you have selected and determine which ones are essential for your analysis. Remove any that are not necessary.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Report/Query:
