How To Fix BRAIN081 - Constant selection special function not available on 0INFOPROV

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BRAIN -

• Message number: 081

• Message text: Constant selection special function not available on 0INFOPROV

What causes this issue?

With constant selection for the characteristic 0INFOPROV, a constant
selection is automatically activated for all characteristics of the
query that are not contained in the selected InfoProviders of the
structure elements, and that have the value '#' (that is, not assigned).
However this is only for simple fixed value selections without variables
on 0INFOPROV, that is for exactly one fixed InfoProvider. The
InfoProvider selection is too complex for the element &V1&.
However, for each InfoProvider for which you would like to use the
special function, you can create a structure element and, as necessary,
make it not visible.

System Response

The function is not executed. The property Display Not Accounted Values
also remains ineffective here.
