The SAP error message G01106, which states "All available characteristics have already been added," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when you are trying to create or modify a query or report, and you attempt to add more characteristics (dimensions) than are allowed.
Cause:
- Limit on Characteristics: Each InfoProvider (like an InfoCube or a DataStore Object) has a predefined limit on the number of characteristics that can be included in a query. If you try to add more characteristics than the limit allows, you will encounter this error.
- Query Design: The query you are working on may already have reached its maximum number of characteristics, which can be a combination of dimensions and key figures.
- Technical Settings: The technical settings of the InfoProvider may restrict the number of characteristics that can be used in a query.
Solution:
- Review Characteristics: Check the characteristics that are already included in your query. You may need to remove some existing characteristics to add new ones.
- Optimize Query Design: Consider whether all the characteristics currently in the query are necessary. You might be able to simplify the query by removing less important characteristics.
- Check InfoProvider Settings: Review the technical settings of the InfoProvider to understand the limits imposed on the number of characteristics. If necessary, consult with your SAP BW administrator to see if adjustments can be made.
- Use Variables: If applicable, consider using variables to filter or select characteristics dynamically, which can help manage the number of characteristics in the query.
- Split Queries: If you need to analyze data with many characteristics, consider splitting the analysis into multiple queries instead of trying to fit everything into one.

If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who specializes in SAP BW/BI.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
