How To Fix BRAIN560 - Inverse formulas are not permitted if the key figure is in the filter

BRAIN560 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BRAIN -

• Message number: 560

• Message text: Inverse formulas are not permitted if the key figure is in the filter

What causes this issue?

No input-ready formulas (and therefore no inverse formulas either) can
be defined in a query whose key figure is defined in the filter. This is
the case in this query, however, as no structural elements (either in
the rows or the columns) filter the key figure.

System Response

The query is malformed and cannot be generated.

How to fix this error?

The query definition must be adjusted so that the situation described
above no longer persists.

BRAIN560 - Details

• The SAP error message BRAIN560 indicates that there is an issue with the use of inverse formulas in a query when a key figure is included in the filter. This error typically arises in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) environments when working with queries in BEx (Business Explorer) Analyzer or similar tools.
  
  Cause:
  The error occurs because inverse formulas (which are used to calculate values based on the inverse of a key figure) cannot be applied when the key figure is part of the filter criteria. This is a restriction in the system to ensure that the calculations remain valid and meaningful. When a key figure is filtered, it limits the data set, and applying an inverse formula could lead to ambiguous or incorrect results.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the BRAIN560 error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Remove the Key Figure from the Filter: If possible, adjust your query to remove
