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

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BRAIN -

• Message number: 036

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

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&).
