  The SAP error message /BCV/QRM862 Query &1: Expression ID missing for formula &2 typically occurs in the context of SAP Query or SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an issue with a query definition, particularly related to a formula that is expected to have an expression ID but does not.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Expression ID: The error indicates that a formula in the query is referencing an expression ID that is not defined or is missing. This can happen if the formula was created or modified incorrectly.
  Corrupted Query Definition: Sometimes, the query definition may become corrupted, leading to missing references.
  Transport Issues: If the query was transported from one system to another, there might have been issues during the transport process that led to missing components.

  Solution:
  
  Check the Formula: Go to the query definition and check the formula that is causing the error. Ensure that all expression IDs referenced in the formula are correctly defined and exist.
  Recreate the Formula: If the expression ID is indeed missing, you may need to recreate the formula or modify it to use a valid expression ID.
  Transport Check: If the query was transported, check the transport logs for any errors and ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport.
  System Consistency: Ensure that the source and target systems are consistent in terms of data models and query definitions. If there are discrepancies, you may need to synchronize them.
