• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINB_PR061 - When reading data, nonpermitted agggregation for key figure &1 ?

  The SAP error message FINB_PR061, which states "When reading data, nonpermitted aggregation for key figure &1," typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) when there is an issue with how data is being aggregated for a specific key figure in a query or report.
  Cause:
  
  
  Aggregation Level: The error usually arises when the system attempts to aggregate data at a level that is not permitted for the specified key figure. This can happen if the key figure is defined in a way that does not allow certain types of aggregation (e.g., summation, averaging) based on the characteristics or dimensions involved.
  
  
  Key Figure Settings: The key figure may have specific settings that restrict how it can be aggregated. For example, if a key figure is defined as a "non-aggregatable" measure, trying to sum or average it will lead to this error.
  
  
  Query Design: The design of the query or report may include incompatible characteristics or filters that conflict with the aggregation rules for the key figure.
  
  
  Data Model Issues: There may be issues in the underlying data model, such as incorrect relationships between InfoObjects or issues with the data source.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Definition: Review the definition of the key figure in the InfoProvider or the query. Ensure that it is set up to allow the type of aggregation you are trying to perform.
  
  
  Adjust Query Design: Modify the query to ensure that the aggregation level is appropriate for the key figure. This may involve removing certain characteristics or filters that are causing the conflict.
  
  
  Use Aggregatable Key Figures: If the key figure is inherently non-aggregatable, consider using a different key figure that allows for the desired aggregation.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on key figure aggregation rules and best practices.
  
  
  Test with Sample Data: Run tests with a smaller dataset to isolate the issue and understand how the aggregation behaves with different configurations.
  
  
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as there may be bug fixes or improvements related to this issue.
