• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN083 - A query cannot have globally constant elements in both structures ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN083 indicates that there is an issue with the query definition in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence). Specifically, it means that the query you are trying to execute contains globally constant elements in both structures, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  You have defined a query that includes characteristics or key figures that are set as globally constant in both the rows and columns of the query.
  The query is trying to use the same characteristic in a way that conflicts with the rules of query design in SAP BW/BI.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the BRAIN083 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Query Design:
  
  Open the query in the Query Designer.
  Check the structures (rows and columns) of the query to identify any characteristics or key figures that are set as globally constant.
  
  
  
  Modify Query Elements:
  
  If you find that the same characteristic is being used as a global constant in both the row and column structures, you will need to modify one of them.
  You can either:
  
  Remove the global constant setting from one of the structures.
  Change the characteristic in one of the structures to a non-global constant.
  
  
  
  
  
  Test the Query:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save the query and execute it again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  If the query is dependent on other queries or InfoProviders, ensure that those dependencies are also correctly configured.
