How To Fix BRAIN469 - Proposed values for characteristic &1 match filter

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BRAIN -

• Message number: 469

• Message text: Proposed values for characteristic &1 match filter

What causes this issue?

The default values for characteristic &V1& match the filter exactly.
These default values are unnecessary, since the query only displays data
that complies with the filter. The default values can be omitted here,
as they are not an additional restriction.
It only makes sense to use a default value if it describes a real part
of the filter.
This default value can lead to unexpected system behavior:
When a view is processed, the variables from the filter are processed,
and the system then attempts to apply the state (the dynamic filter for
example) of the view. The default value from the query definition is
thus ignored. If the default value is specified by a variable, it does
not need to be processed.

System Response

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

This message typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when working with queries, filters, or characteristics in the context of data analysis or reporting.
  Cause:
  The error message BRAIN469 is triggered when the system attempts to propose values for a characteristic, but the values that are being proposed do not meet the criteria defined by the filter. This can happen due to several reasons:

  Adjust Characteristic Values: If the characteristic has specific values that are not being proposed, consider adjusting the characteristic settings or the values in the master data.
  
  
  Test with Different Filters: Try running the query with different or no filters to see if the characteristic values are proposed correctly. This can help identify if the issue is with the filter or the data itself.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for additional insights on the specific characteristic and its configuration.
