BRAIN_DEV072
- Cell &1 cannot be calculated on granularity of &2 ?The SAP error message BRAIN_DEV072 indicates that there is an issue with the granularity of the data being processed in a planning or reporting scenario, particularly in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation). The error message typically means that the system is unable to calculate a specific cell (identified by &1) because the granularity of the data (identified by &2) does not match the expected granularity for that calculation.
Cause:
- Granularity Mismatch: The cell you are trying to calculate requires data at a different level of granularity than what is available. For example, if you are trying to calculate a value at a monthly level but the data is only available at a yearly level, this error may occur.
- Missing Data: The required data for the specific granularity may not be available in the data source.
- Incorrect Aggregation: The aggregation settings or the way the data is structured may not align with the expected granularity for the calculation.
- Model Configuration: The configuration of the planning model or the data model may not be set up correctly to handle the required granularity.
Solution:
- Check Data Granularity: Verify the granularity of the data being used in the calculation. Ensure that the data source provides the necessary granularity for the calculation you are attempting.
- Adjust Calculation Logic: If possible, adjust the calculation logic to align with the available granularity. This may involve changing the level of aggregation or the way data is being processed.
- Data Availability: Ensure that all necessary data is loaded and available in the system at the required granularity. You may need to run data loads or refresh the data.
- Model Configuration: Review the configuration of your planning model or data model to ensure it is set up correctly to handle the required granularity. This may involve adjusting settings in the planning application or data source.
- Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidance on handling granularity issues in your version of SAP BW or BPC.
