• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AIS_STDREP234 - Period specified should be greater than the period of underlying KF ?

  The SAP error message AIS_STDREP234 indicates that there is a mismatch between the period specified in your query or report and the period of the underlying Key Figure (KF) in the data model.

  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the InfoProvider or the data model that restrict access to certain periods.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Availability: Verify that the data for the specified period exists in the underlying Key Figure. You can do this by checking the data in the relevant InfoProvider or data source.
  Adjust the Period: Modify your query or report to specify a period that is valid and available in the underlying Key Figure.
  Data Load: If the data for the required period is not loaded, ensure that the data extraction and loading processes are correctly set up and executed to include the necessary periods.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration of the InfoProvider and the Key Figure to ensure that there are no restrictions on the periods that can be accessed.
