• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN047 - The cache was used despite virtual characteristics / key figures ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN047 indicates that the system is using a cache for a query that includes virtual characteristics or key figures. This can lead to unexpected results or performance issues because the cache may not reflect the most current data or the specific calculations required for virtual characteristics.
  
  Cause:
  
  Virtual Characteristics/Key Figures: The query includes virtual characteristics or key figures that are not stored in the database but are calculated at runtime. When the cache is used, it may not account for these calculations correctly.
  Cache Settings: The query might be configured to use caching, which can lead to the use of outdated or incorrect data when virtual characteristics are involved.
  Data Model: The underlying data model may not be optimized for the use of virtual characteristics, leading to conflicts when the cache is accessed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Disable Caching: If the query includes virtual characteristics or key figures, consider disabling caching for that specific query.
