  The SAP error message FCOM_STATISKEYFIGURE019 indicates that there is an issue with the key figure category in your SAP system. Specifically, it states that the key figure category must be either 1 (fixed value) or 2 (total value). This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP Analytics, where key figures are used to represent quantitative data.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the configuration of a key figure in a data model or InfoProvider where the key figure category is set to a value that is not allowed. The key figure category defines how the key figure behaves in terms of aggregation and reporting. If the category is set to a value other than 1 or 2, the system will throw this error.

  Change Key Figure Category:
  
  If the key figure category is set to a value other than 1 or 2, change it to either:
  
  1 (Fixed Value): This is used for key figures that do not change over time and are not aggregated.
  2 (Total Value): This is used for key figures that can be aggregated and summed up.
  
  
  
  
  
  Re-activate the InfoObject:
  
  After making changes to the key figure category, you may need to re-activate the InfoObject or the data model to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependent objects or queries that might be affected by this change. If necessary, update those as well.
