This error typically occurs when you are trying to execute a query in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) and one or more required parameters have not been provided.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Parameters: A required parameter for the query execution is not provided. This could be a filter, characteristic, or any other mandatory input that the query needs to run.
  Incorrect Query Design: The query might be designed in such a way that it expects certain parameters to be passed, but they are not being supplied.
  User Input Issues: If the query is being executed through a front-end tool (like SAP Analysis for Office, SAP Lumira, etc.), the user may not have filled in all the necessary fields.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access certain data, which can lead to missing parameters.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the BW_BICS_EQ136 error, you can take the following steps:
