• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFMRD_BIW004 - Key figure & is not defined in OLTP ?

  The SAP error message CFMRD_BIW004 indicates that a key figure is not defined in the OLTP (Online Transaction Processing) system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to access or report on data that relies on a key figure that has not been properly defined or is missing in the source system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Key Figure: The key figure you are trying to use in your report or query is not defined in the OLTP system.
  Incorrect Data Source: The data source you are using may not be correctly set up to include the key figure.
  Data Transfer Issues: There may have been issues during the data transfer from the OLTP system to the BW system, leading to missing key figures.
  Configuration Issues: The InfoObject or InfoProvider in BW may not be correctly configured to map to the key figure in the OLTP system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Definition:
  
  Go to the OLTP system and verify if the key figure is defined in the relevant data model (e.g., in the relevant table or structure).
  If it is missing, you may need to create or define it in the OLTP system.
  
  
  
  Update Data Source:
  
  Ensure that the data source in BW is correctly configured to pull the key figure from the OLTP system.
  If necessary, update the data source to include the missing key figure.
  
  
  
  Data Transfer:
  
  Check the data transfer process (e.g., InfoPackage, Data Transfer Process) to ensure that it is correctly set up and that there are no errors during data loading.
  If there are issues, you may need to re-extract and load the data.
  
  
  
  Check BW Configuration:
  
  In the BW system, check the InfoObject settings to ensure that the key figure is correctly defined and activated.

  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific key figure and its configuration to ensure compliance with best practices.
