• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_DB_KPI007 - KPI &1: Auxiliary KPIs must not have implementing classes ?

  The SAP error message ESH_DB_KPI007 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in the SAP system, specifically related to auxiliary KPIs. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  The error occurs when an auxiliary KPI is incorrectly configured to have implementing classes. In SAP, auxiliary KPIs are meant to be used as supporting metrics that do not have their own implementation logic. Therefore, they should not be associated with any implementing classes. This error typically arises during the creation or modification of KPIs in the SAP system.
  Solution:
  To resolve the ESH_DB_KPI007 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check KPI Configuration:
  
  Navigate to the KPI configuration in the SAP system.
  Identify the KPI that is causing the error (indicated by KPI &1 in the error message).
  
  
  
  Review Auxiliary KPI Settings:
  
  Ensure that the KPI is correctly marked as an auxiliary KPI.
  Verify that it does not have any implementing classes assigned to it. If it does, remove those associations.
  
  
  
  Adjust Implementing Classes:
  
  If the KPI is intended to be an auxiliary KPI, ensure that it does not have any implementing classes. If it is supposed to have an implementing class, then it should not be classified as an auxiliary KPI.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes and check if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Test the KPI:
  
  After correcting the configuration, test the KPI to ensure it functions as expected without triggering the error.
