• Message number: 034

• Message text: Data is summarized using characteristic &1

What causes this issue?

The report/variant definition determined that the characteristic &V1&
(with the field name &V2&)should be used for summarizing.

System Response

The data is summarized using characteristic &V1&.
Characteristic &V1& was initialized
Under the assumption that all key figures relevant for the
characteristic &V1& are additive, meaning that they accumulate when
summarized using &V1&

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

More complex forms of aggregating the data such as you can set for key
figures (for example, MAX, MIN, AVG etc) are not taken into account when
summarizing.

If any irregularities occur, check if one of the points above applies.
If not, adjust the report/variant definition so that summarization is
done using only those characteristics for which the key figuresare
additive.

  Data Aggregation: The data you are trying to view or analyze has been aggregated or summarized based on a specific characteristic (e.g., cost center, profit center, etc.). This means that the detailed transactional data is not available for the characteristic you are trying to analyze.
  Reporting Settings: The report or transaction you are using may be configured to display summarized data instead of detailed data.

  Check Report Settings: Review the settings of the report or transaction you are using. Ensure that it is configured to display detailed data rather than summarized data.

  Check Data Availability: Ensure that the data you are trying to access has been posted and is available in the system. If the data is missing, you may need to investigate further to understand why it is not available.
