  The SAP error message /BCV/QRM704 Query &1: No formula ID was entered for result field &2 typically occurs in the context of SAP Query or reporting tools when a query is being executed, and a required formula ID for a result field is missing. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in reporting or analytics scenarios.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Formula ID: The error indicates that a result field in the query is expected to have a formula ID associated with it, but none has been provided.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the query definition where the formula for the result field was not set up correctly.
  Data Source Issues: The data source for the query may not have the necessary fields or calculations defined, leading to the absence of a formula ID.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Query Definition:
  
  Go to the query definition in the SAP Query tool (transaction code SQ01).
  Open the query that is generating the error.
  Verify the result fields and ensure that each field that requires a formula has a valid formula ID assigned.
  
  
  
  Assign Formula ID:

  Ensure that the formula ID corresponds to a valid calculation or aggregation that you want to perform on that field.
  
  
  
  Review Data Source:
  
  Check the underlying data source (e.g., InfoSet) to ensure that it includes all necessary fields and calculations.
  If the data source is missing required fields, you may need to modify the InfoSet to include them.
  
  
  
  Test the Query:
