How To Fix BRAIN325 - &1 has &2, but &1 has a higher value in MultiProvider &3

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BRAIN -

• Message number: 325

• Message text: &1 has &2, but &1 has a higher value in MultiProvider &3

What causes this issue?

In aggregation level &V4&, &V2& is set for InfoObject &V1&.
&V4& is defined using MultiProvider &V3&, and this
property has a smaller value in &V3&.

System Response

InfoObject &V1& can therefore be used more generally in aggregation
level &V4& than in MultiProvider &V3&. This may not be useful and is
most probably not intentional.

How to fix this error?

Check aggregation level &V4&.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN325 - &1 has &2, but &1 has a higher value in MultiProvider &3 ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN325 typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is a conflict in the data aggregation or reporting in a MultiProvider. This error indicates that there is a discrepancy in the values of a characteristic across different InfoProviders that are part of the MultiProvider.
  Cause:
  The error message BRAIN325 is triggered when:
  
  A characteristic (e.g., a key figure or attribute) has different values in different InfoProviders that are being combined in a MultiProvider.
  The system detects that one InfoProvider has a higher value for a characteristic than another InfoProvider, which leads to ambiguity in the data aggregation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the InfoProviders: Determine which InfoProviders are included in the MultiProvider and which ones are causing the conflict. The error message will typically provide the names of the InfoProviders involved.
  
  
  Check Data Consistency: Review the data in the InfoProviders to identify why there is a discrepancy. Look for:
  
  Duplicates or incorrect entries in the data.
  Different aggregation levels or granularity in the data.
  
  
  
  Adjust Aggregation Logic: If the discrepancy is due to different aggregation logic, you may need to adjust the way data is aggregated in the MultiProvider. This could involve:
  
  Changing the aggregation settings in the InfoObjects.
  Modifying the transformation rules or data flow.
  
  
  
  Data Cleansing: If the data itself is incorrect, you may need to cleanse the data in the underlying InfoProviders to ensure consistency.
  
  
  Reprocess Data: After making the necessary adjustments, reprocess the data in the InfoProviders and the MultiProvider to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  Testing: After resolving the issue, run tests to ensure that the MultiProvider now aggregates the data correctly without triggering the error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  MultiProvider: A MultiProvider in SAP BW allows you to combine data from multiple InfoProviders (like InfoCubes, DataStore Objects, etc.) for reporting purposes.
  InfoObjects: These are the basic building blocks in SAP BW that represent characteristics and key figures.
  Data Aggregation: Understanding how data is aggregated in SAP BW is crucial for resolving discrepancies. Different aggregation methods can lead to different results.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult SAP documentation or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
