How To Fix BRAIN572 - Input-ready deactivated; cell redefinition in inverse formula

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: BRAIN -

• Message number: 572

• Message text: Input-ready deactivated; cell redefinition in inverse formula

What causes this issue?

To calculate a carrier for a formula group in a structure, inverse
formulas need to be defined for all input-ready operands. The inp
ut-readiness of these operands is normally set in the same structure,
i.e. in the carrier structure. The carrier and its inverse formulas form
a separate formula group for each selection element in the other
structure.
For the carrier here, &V1&a non-modifiable operand&V2& has been
redefined by a modifiable cell.

System Response

The input-readiness of the carrier&V1& will be revoked, as an inverse
formula would otherwise be missing for the modifiable operand&V2&.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN572 - Input-ready deactivated; cell redefinition in inverse formula ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN572 indicates that an input-ready cell in a planning application has been deactivated due to a redefinition of a cell in an inverse formula. This typically occurs in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP Analytics Cloud environments when working with planning functions or input-ready queries.
  Cause:
  
  
  Cell Redefinition: The error arises when a cell that is supposed to be input-ready has been redefined in a way that conflicts with the existing planning logic. This can happen if:
  
  The cell is part of an inverse formula that alters its original definition.
  The cell is being used in a calculation that does not allow for user input.
  
  
  
  Planning Model Configuration: The configuration of the planning model or the query may not allow for certain cells to be input-ready if they are derived from other calculations or formulas.
  
  
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the underlying data model or the structure of the planning application can lead to inconsistencies that trigger this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review the Inverse Formula: Check the inverse formula associated with the cell. Ensure that it does not conflict with the input-ready status of the cell. If necessary, modify the formula to allow for user input.
  
  
  Adjust Planning Function: If the cell is part of a planning function, review the function's logic to ensure that it correctly defines which cells are input-ready and which are calculated.
  
  
  Reconfigure the Query: If the error is occurring in a query, consider reconfiguring the query to ensure that the input-ready cells are correctly defined and not conflicting with any calculations.
  
  
  Check Data Model: Ensure that the data model has not been altered in a way that affects the input-ready status of the cells. If changes have been made, you may need to update the planning model accordingly.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling inverse formulas and input-ready cells.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the planning application to ensure that the error is resolved and that the input-ready cells function as expected.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  Training and Documentation: Consider reviewing training materials or documentation related to SAP BW or SAP Analytics Cloud planning functions to better understand how to manage input-ready cells and formulas.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the BRAIN572 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
