How To Fix BRAIN149 - The 'Display Non Postable Values' option has been activated

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BRAIN -

• Message number: 149

• Message text: The 'Display Non Postable Values' option has been activated

What causes this issue?

On the cell explained here, 'constant selection' is active. For
structure elements with this property, the existence of a value depends
on context. This means a value is only displayed when the associated
object is already in the list. Especially in double lists, where
characteristics are drilled down both in the rows and in the columns,
empty cells could result from this logic.
Because the 'key figure definition' is not aware of this context, the
associated value is always determine for the key figure definition. This
has to agree with that in the query if a value is displayed there.
This means: If a value is displayed in the initial list, the key figure
definition has to display the same value. If the cell to be declared is
empty, but the key figure definition is displaying a value, there should
be no error.

System Response

The property 'Display Non-Posted Values' was activated for the key
figure.

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