BRAIN_DEV010 - Details

• The SAP error message BRAIN_DEV010 indicates that you are trying to add characteristics to a query that is based on a data provider that supports input parameters, but the characteristics cannot be added in this context. This typically occurs in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with queries in the BEx Query Designer.
  
  Cause:
  The error arises because:
  
  The data provider (e.g., InfoProvider) you are using supports input parameters, which means it is designed to accept user input for filtering data.
