SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G0 - Messages for SAP Consolidation

• Message number: 138

• Message text: Assignment &2/KU &3 to download CG &1: invalid in target dimension

What causes this issue?

Selection criteria for the dowload of reported financial data are
defined for consolidation group &V1&. One set of criteria contains the
cons group &V2& and the cons unit &V3&. However, one or both of these
organization units do not exist in the target dimension &V4&. The
criteria are therefore invalid in that dimension.

System Response

Consolidation group &V1& will be copied along with the valid download
settings. The invalid set of criteria for the download of financial
data will not be copied.

How to fix this error?

You can only copy all the settings if both cons group &V2& and cons
unit &V3& are created in dimension &V4& or copied to this dimension.
You can do this by rerunning the copy program. On the selection screen,
select the indicator "Existing settings: Do not change", cons group
&V2& and cons unit &V3&. Otherwise use the same criteria as for the
last run.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message G0138 - Assignment &2/KU &3 to download CG &1: invalid in target dimension ?

  The SAP error message G0138 typically indicates an issue related to the assignment of a characteristic value to a target dimension in a data transfer process, particularly in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA. This error can occur during data extraction, transformation, or loading (ETL) processes when the system encounters an invalid assignment.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Characteristic Assignment: The characteristic value being assigned does not exist in the target dimension or is not valid for the target data model.
  Data Model Mismatch: There may be a mismatch between the source and target data models, such as differences in the structure or definitions of the dimensions.
  Missing Master Data: The master data for the characteristic value may not be loaded or may be incomplete, leading to invalid assignments.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the InfoObjects or InfoProviders that are causing the assignment to fail.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Characteristic Values: Verify that the characteristic values being assigned exist in the target dimension. You can do this by checking the master data for the relevant InfoObject.
  Review Data Model: Ensure that the source and target data models are aligned. Check for any changes in the structure of the InfoObjects or InfoProviders that may have occurred.
  Load Missing Master Data: If the master data for the characteristic is missing, load the necessary master data into the target dimension.
  Validate Configuration: Review the configuration of the InfoObjects and InfoProviders to ensure that they are set up correctly and that there are no inconsistencies.
  Check Transformation Rules: If you are using transformations, review the transformation rules to ensure that they are correctly mapping the source fields to the target fields.
