System Response

When a user starts a query or bookmark using Execute and Debug in the
query monitor (transaction RSRT, RSRT1, or RSRT2), the system adds
brackets to all numbers for which there is a special calculation
formula; it also displays these numbers in a different color.
This helps you to analyze complex figures and, where applicable, to
recognize that an error has not occurred in the analytic engine.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN095 - Some numbers are scaled. They are parenthesized in debug mode [ ] ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN095 indicates that there are some numbers in your report or query that are scaled, meaning they are represented in a different unit or format than expected. This often occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when dealing with key figures that have been defined with scaling factors.
  Cause:
  
  Scaling Factors: The key figures in your data model may have been defined with scaling factors (e.g., thousands, millions). When the data is retrieved, it may be displayed in a scaled format, which can lead to confusion if users are not aware of the scaling.
  Data Model Configuration: The configuration of the InfoObjects or the way the data is being aggregated or displayed in reports may not align with user expectations.
  Debug Mode: The message indicates that the numbers are parenthesized in debug mode, which suggests that the system is providing additional information for debugging purposes, showing that the values are scaled.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Scaling Settings: Review the settings of the key figures in your InfoObjects. Ensure that the scaling factors are correctly defined and that users are aware of them.
  Adjust Report Settings: If you are using a report or query, check the settings to see if you can adjust how the data is displayed. You may need to change the display format or remove scaling if it is not necessary.
  Documentation: Provide documentation or training for users to help them understand how to interpret scaled numbers in reports.
  Debugging: If you are in debug mode, analyze the data flow and transformations to identify where the scaling is applied. This can help you understand if the scaling is intentional or if it needs to be adjusted.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP BW/BI Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for BW/BI to understand how scaling factors work and how to configure them.
