How To Fix COM_PME_PARSER133 - Restrictable and other attribute cannot be inferred simultaneously

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: COM_PME_PARSER - Configuration

• Message number: 133

• Message text: Restrictable and other attribute cannot be inferred simultaneously

What causes this issue?

In a constraint, you cannot define restrictions and other inferences at
the same time. However, the list of required inferences (INFERENCES:)
contains both restrictable variables and variables which cannot be
restricted.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Divide the constraint into two constraints: create one constraint for
restrictions and one constraint for other inferences.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_PME_PARSER133 - Restrictable and other attribute cannot be inferred simultaneously ?

  The SAP error message COM_PME_PARSER133 with the description "Restrictable and other attribute cannot be inferred simultaneously" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when there is an issue with the way attributes are defined in a data model or query.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises when there is a conflict in the attribute definitions within a data model. Specifically, it occurs when:
  
  An attribute is defined as "restrictable" (meaning it can be used to filter data) and at the same time, another attribute is being inferred or derived from it in a way that is not compatible.
  The system is unable to determine how to handle the conflicting definitions, leading to ambiguity in the data processing logic.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Attribute Definitions:
  
  Check the attributes in your data model or query. Ensure that you are not trying to infer a non-restrictable attribute from a restrictable one simultaneously.
  If you have attributes that are both restrictable and non-restrictable, consider separating them or redefining their relationships.
  
  
  
  Modify Query or Data Model:
  
  If the error occurs in a query, try modifying the query to avoid using both types of attributes together.
  In the data model, you may need to adjust the attribute settings to ensure that they are compatible.
  
  
  
  Check for Inheritance:
  
  If you are using hierarchies or attribute inheritance, ensure that the hierarchy levels are correctly defined and do not conflict with the restrictable attributes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on attribute definitions and restrictions in your version of SAP BW or HANA.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the data model or query to ensure that the error is resolved and that the expected results are returned.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context.
  Community Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or support channels where similar issues may have been discussed.
  Version Specifics: Be aware that the behavior of attributes and the handling of errors may vary between different versions of SAP BW or HANA, so ensure that you are looking at the correct version documentation.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
