• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BCV/QRM718 - Query &1: Fill mode 'Aggregation' not reasonable for result field &2 ?

  The SAP error message /BCV/QRM718 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a query, specifically related to the fill mode set to 'Aggregation' for a result field that does not support this mode. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Incompatible Fill Mode: The error occurs when the fill mode for a result field is set to 'Aggregation', but the field itself is not suitable for aggregation. This can happen if the field is a characteristic that cannot be aggregated (e.g., a text field or a field that does not have a numerical value).
  Query Design Issues: The query might be designed in a way that does not align with the data model or the characteristics of the fields being used.
  Data Source Limitations: The underlying data source may not support aggregation for the specified field.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Properties: Review the properties of the result field in the query definition. Ensure that the field is appropriate for aggregation. If it is not, consider changing the fill mode to a more suitable option, such as 'Display' or 'No Aggregation'.
  Modify Query Design: If the field is essential for the query, consider redesigning the query to either remove the aggregation requirement or replace the field with one that supports aggregation.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on which fields can be aggregated and the appropriate fill modes for different types of fields.
  Test Changes: After making adjustments, test the query to ensure that it runs without errors and returns the expected results.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Query Designer: Familiarize yourself with the SAP Query Designer tool, which allows you to create and modify queries. Understanding how to set fill modes and the properties of fields can help prevent this error.
