• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN873 - No exception aggr. in BWA for key figure &1 as it is a plan data query ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN873 indicates that there is no exception aggregation defined in the Business Warehouse Accelerator (BWA) for a specific key figure in a planning data query. This typically occurs when you are trying to execute a query that involves planning data, but the necessary exception aggregation settings are not configured.
  Cause:
  
  No Exception Aggregation Defined: The key figure in question does not have any exception aggregation defined in the BWA. Exception aggregation is necessary for planning queries because it determines how data is aggregated when certain conditions are met.
  Query Configuration: The query might be configured to use a key figure that is not set up for exception aggregation in the BWA.
  Data Model Issues: There may be issues with the data model or the way the key figures are defined in the InfoProvider.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Exception Aggregation:
  
  Go to the key figure in the InfoObject maintenance (transaction code RSD1).
  Check the settings for exception aggregation and ensure that it is defined appropriately for the key figure.
  If it is not defined, you will need to set it up according to your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Adjust Query Settings:
  
  Open the query in the Query Designer (transaction code BEx Query Designer).
  Check the properties of the key figure and ensure that it is set to use exception aggregation if required.
  Save and activate the query after making changes.
  
  
  
  Rebuild BWA Index:
  
  If changes were made to the key figure or the query, you may need to rebuild the BWA index to ensure that the changes take effect.
  This can be done through transaction RSD1 or using the relevant BWA administration tools.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Model Issues:
  
  Ensure that the data model is correctly set up and that the key figures are properly linked to the relevant InfoProviders.
  Validate that the planning functions and processes are correctly defined.
