How To Fix AFWGO_MESSAGES448 - Key figures &1 and &2 have different properties

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AFWGO_MESSAGES - Messages for Development Class AFWGO

• Message number: 448

• Message text: Key figures &1 and &2 have different properties

What causes this issue?

You have started a benchmark run for benchmark &V3& and benchmark yield
key figure &V1&. The benchmark definition refers to portfolio yield key
figure &V2&. These two key figures differ in their category, yield
interval, yield method, and/or currency.

System Response

Processing is cancelled, as it would be inconsistent to copy reference
portfolio yield key figure values to a benchmark yield key figure with
different properties.

How to fix this error?

Start the benchmark run for benchmark &V3& only for benchmark key
figures which have the same properties as key figure &V2&.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AFWGO_MESSAGES448 - Key figures &1 and &2 have different properties ?

  The SAP error message AFWGO_MESSAGES448 indicates that there is a mismatch in the properties of two key figures in a planning application or data model. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) when you are trying to perform operations that involve these key figures, such as calculations, aggregations, or comparisons.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  Different Data Types: The two key figures may have different data types (e.g., one is a decimal and the other is an integer).
  Different Units of Measure: The key figures might be defined with different units (e.g., one in kilograms and the other in pounds).
  Different Aggregation Types: The key figures may have different aggregation methods (e.g., one is summed while the other is averaged).
  Different Characteristics: The key figures could be associated with different characteristics or attributes that affect their properties.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Definitions:
  
  Go to the key figure definitions in your planning model or application.
  Verify that the properties (data type, unit of measure, aggregation type) of the two key figures are consistent.
  
  
  
  Modify Key Figure Properties:
  
  If you find discrepancies, modify the properties of one or both key figures to ensure they match.
  Ensure that the data types are compatible, and if necessary, change the unit of measure to be the same.
  
  
  
  Review Calculations and Formulas:
  
  If the error occurs during a calculation or formula, review the logic to ensure that it is correctly referencing key figures with compatible properties.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making adjustments, test the changes to ensure that the error is resolved and that the calculations or operations work as intended.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
