The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

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 cumulation is active along a
characteristic; 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.

BRAIN105 - Details

• The SAP error message BRAIN105 indicates that a characteristic (denoted by &1) is cumulated, which means that the values for that characteristic are aggregated or summarized in a way that is not compatible with the operation you are trying to perform. This error typically occurs in the context of reporting or data analysis within SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence).
  
  Cause:
  
  Cumulative Characteristics: The characteristic in question is set up as a cumulative characteristic in the data model. Cumulative characteristics are used to aggregate data over time or other dimensions, and they may not allow for certain types of operations that require detailed data.
  Incompatible Operations: You may be trying to perform an operation (like a query or a calculation) that requires non-cumulative data, but the characteristic is defined as cumulative.
  Data Model Configuration: The configuration of the InfoObject or the InfoCube may not align with the requirements of the query
