• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN231 - For &1, parameter &2 can only have references to &3 (current value = &4) ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN231 typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when dealing with queries, data sources, or InfoProviders. This error indicates that there is a mismatch between the expected references for a parameter and the actual value being used.
  Cause:
  The error message BRAIN231 is triggered when:
  
  A parameter in a query or data source is expected to reference a specific set of values or objects, but the current value does not conform to these expectations.
  The parameter is defined to accept only certain types of references (e.g., specific InfoObjects, characteristics, or key figures), and the current value being passed does not match these allowed references.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the BRAIN231 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Parameter Definition:
  
  Review the definition of the parameter in the query or data source. Ensure that it is set up to accept the correct references as specified in the error message.
  
  
  
  Validate Current Value:
  
  Look at the current value being passed to the parameter (as indicated by current value = &4). Ensure that this value is valid and matches one of the allowed references (&3).
  
  
  
  Adjust Query or Data Source:
  
  If the current value is incorrect, you may need to adjust the query or data source to either change the value being passed or modify the parameter definition to accept the current value.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates:
  
  Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as sometimes bugs or issues can be resolved in newer versions.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more specific guidance related to the parameter and its expected values.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the query or data source again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
