How To Fix BRAIN486 - &1: The disaggregation settings will be ignored

BRAIN486 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BRAIN -

• Message number: 486

• Message text: &1: The disaggregation settings will be ignored

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

What causes this issue?

You want to disaggregate structure element &V1& in the same way as
structure element &V2&.
&V2& is a formula element however and uses operator %CT or SUMCT. This
is not supported.

System Response

The disaggregation settings for &V1& are ignored when the query runs.

How to fix this error?

During disaggregation, it makes no difference whether you distribute to
a structure element D or a standard element D1 = %GT(D). Using D could
improve performance and provide better stability with regard to rounding
errors. Standardization operators %RT, %GT and %CT should therefore not
be used in reference elements.
For an explanation of why operator %CT cannot be used in a reference
element, see Note 1375482.
