• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ATL/GENERAL003 - Use a basic rollup set with only one entry for dimension & ?

  The SAP error message /ATL/GENERAL003 indicates that there is an issue with the rollup set configuration in the context of the Advanced Business Application Programming (ABAP) or the Analytical Tool Layer (ATL). This error typically arises when the rollup set being used has more than one entry for a specific dimension, which is not allowed in this context.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the configuration of the rollup set, where it is expected to have only one entry for a specific dimension. If there are multiple entries for that dimension, the system cannot determine which one to use, leading to this error message.

  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the rollup set you are using has only one entry for the specified dimension. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Check Rollup Set Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction or configuration area where rollup sets are defined.
  Review the entries for the rollup set in question and identify the dimension that has multiple entries.
  
  
  
  Modify the Rollup Set:
  
  If you find multiple entries for the dimension, you will need to either delete the redundant entries or consolidate them into a single entry that meets your reporting or analytical needs.
  Ensure that the remaining entry accurately reflects the data you want to analyze.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the rollup set again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  Run the relevant report or analysis to confirm that the data is being processed correctly.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Best Practices:
