• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BCV/QRM708 - Query &1: No aggregation function was selected for result field &2 ?

  The SAP error message /BCV/QRM708 Query &1: No aggregation function was selected for result field &2 typically occurs in the context of SAP Query or SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to create or execute a query that includes a result field that requires an aggregation function, but none has been specified.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Aggregation Function: The result field specified in the query requires an aggregation function (like SUM, COUNT, AVG, etc.) to process the data correctly, but none has been selected.
  Field Configuration: The field may not be configured properly in the query definition, leading to the absence of an aggregation function.
  Query Design: The query design may not align with the data model, especially if the field is expected to be aggregated but is treated as a detail field.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Select an Aggregation Function:
  
  Open the query in the SAP Query Designer.
  Locate the result field that is causing the error.
  Ensure that an appropriate aggregation function is selected for that field. This can usually be done in the properties of the field where you can specify how the data should be aggregated.
  
  
  
  Check Field Properties:
  
  Review the properties of the result field to ensure it is set up correctly for aggregation.
  If the field is meant to be a detail field (non-aggregated), ensure that it is not being used in a context that requires aggregation.
  
  
  
  Review Query Structure:
  
  Ensure that the overall structure of the query is correct and that all fields are appropriately defined.
  If necessary, consult the data model to understand how the fields relate to each other and how they should be aggregated.
  
  
  
  Test the Query:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the query to ensure that it runs without errors.
