The SAP error message G01109 indicates that an independent characteristic specified in your query or operation does not exist in the specified table (FFIX). This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when dealing with InfoObjects or characteristics in queries.
Cause:
- Missing Characteristic: The independent characteristic you are trying to use in your query or report is not defined in the InfoObject catalog or is not activated.
- Incorrect Table Reference: The system is looking for the characteristic in the wrong table or the table is not properly configured.
- Data Model Issues: There may be issues with the data model, such as missing or incorrectly configured InfoProviders.
- Transport Issues: If the characteristic was recently transported from another system, it may not have been properly activated in the target system.

Check Query Design:
- If you are using a query, ensure that the query is correctly designed and that all characteristics used in the query are valid and exist in the data model.
Transport Check:

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.
