• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FM_BP_BWRET050 - Query May Contain a Maximum of One Structure ?

  The SAP error message FM_BP_BWRET050 indicates that a query in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) contains more than one structure, which is not allowed. This error typically arises when you are trying to create or execute a query that includes multiple structures in a way that is not supported by the system.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Structures: The query you are trying to execute or design includes more than one structure (e.g., multiple rows or columns that are defined as structures).
  Query Design: The query might have been designed incorrectly, leading to the inclusion of multiple structures.
  Data Model: The underlying data model may not support the intended query design.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Query Design: Go back to the query designer and check the structure of your query. Ensure that you are only using one structure. You can do this by:
  
  Removing any additional structures that are not necessary.
  Consolidating fields into a single structure if possible.
  
  
  
  Check InfoProviders: Ensure that the InfoProviders (e.g., InfoCubes, DSOs) you are using in the query are compatible and do not inherently create multiple structures.
  
  
  Use Variables: If you need to display data from multiple sources, consider using variables or filters instead of trying to combine multiple structures in a single query.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidelines on query design and structure limitations.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the query to ensure that it runs without errors.
