• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BCV/QRM768 - Query &1: Cycle in selection criteria detected in criterion &2 ?

  The SAP error message /BCV/QRM768 indicates that there is a cycle detected in the selection criteria of a query. This typically occurs when the selection criteria are set up in such a way that they reference each other in a circular manner, leading to an infinite loop or contradiction in the query logic.
  Cause:
  
  Circular References: The most common cause of this error is that the selection criteria are defined in a way that one criterion depends on another, which in turn depends on the first, creating a cycle.
  Incorrect Query Design: The query might be incorrectly designed, where the logic does not allow for a clear path of evaluation.
  Misconfigured Filters: Filters or conditions that are not properly set up can lead to this issue.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Go through the selection criteria defined in the query and check for any circular dependencies. Ensure that no criterion is dependent on another in a way that creates a loop.
  Modify Query Logic: Adjust the logic of the query to eliminate any circular references. This may involve rethinking how the criteria are structured or changing the dependencies.
  Test Incrementally: After making changes, test the query incrementally to ensure that the error does not reoccur. Start with a simplified version of the query and gradually add complexity.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on setting up selection criteria correctly.
