How To Fix BRAIN036 - Key figure &1 was not defined correctly


BRAIN036 - Overview

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: BRAIN -

  • Message number: 036

  • Message text: Key figure &1 was not defined correctly

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    Quantities are multiplied with values for key figure &V2& (&V1&). This
    does not make sense.
    A basic key figure was probably defined that contained a price. Only
    addable amounts should be written on the database. Ratios and prices are
    calculated as key figures. The system therefore maintains the correct
    sequence, meaning that totaling is performed everywhere, and the
    quotient is then formed.
    If a 'price amount' is saved as a basic key figure<(>,<)> the
    'non-aggregated indicator' can be reset using 'Change key figure'. The
    system therefore performs the multiplication (or division) before
    totaling. The key figure is then assigned to the group 'Other columns'.

    How to fix this error?

    Check the definition of key figure &V2& (&V1&).
