• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN573 - Input-ready deactivated; a > formula is being used ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN573 indicates that an input-ready query is deactivated because it is using a formula that is not compatible with input-ready queries. Specifically, the error arises when a query in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) is designed to allow user input (input-ready) but contains a formula that cannot be processed in an input-ready context.
  Cause:
  
  Use of Non-Compatible Formulas: The query contains a formula (like a calculated key figure or restricted key figure) that is not allowed in input-ready queries. This could include certain aggregation functions or complex calculations that cannot be resolved at runtime when users are inputting data.
  Query Design: The query might have been designed with certain characteristics or settings that conflict with the input-ready functionality.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the Query Design: Check the query for any calculated key figures or formulas that are not compatible with input-ready functionality. You may need to remove or modify these formulas.
  Modify the Formula: If possible, simplify the formula or change it to a type that is compatible with input-ready queries. For example, avoid using complex aggregations or nested calculations.
  Change Query Properties: If the input-ready functionality is not essential for the query, consider changing the query properties to deactivate the input-ready feature. This can be done in the query designer by adjusting the settings for input-ready queries.
  Testing: After making changes, test the query to ensure that it works as expected and that the error message no longer appears.
