How To Fix G01170 - No dimension exists as the source for transfer to SAP S/4HANA

G01170 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: G01 - SAP Consolidation

• Message number: 170

• Message text: No dimension exists as the source for transfer to SAP S/4HANA

What causes this issue?

In SAP S/4HANA consolidation, only <ZH>one</> dimension is allowed; this
dimension must have the characteristic value Y1.
When copying between dimensions for transfer to SAP S/4HANA, the system
uses characteristic value Y1 for the <LS>target dimension </> as the
destination for the copy.
The source of the copy is the dimension for which you set the <LS>Source
for Transfer to SAP S/4HANA</> indicator in the definition of the
dimension (in transaction CX1K). However, the system does not contain a
dimension for which the indicator has been set. This means that the
system cannot execute the copy function from the source dimension to
dimension Y1.

System Response

The system terminates the copy function with an error message.

How to fix this error?

In the definition of dimensions (in transaction CX1K), set the <LS>
Source for Transfer to SAP S/4HANA</> indicator for <ZH>one</>
characteristic value.

Procedure for System Administrators

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

G01170 - Details

• The SAP error message G01170, which states "No dimension exists as the source for transfer to SAP S/4HANA," typically occurs during the data transfer process from SAP Business Suite (like SAP ECC) to SAP S/4HANA. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a valid dimension that is required for the transfer of data.
  
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The error often arises when the necessary configuration for the dimensions in the source system (SAP ECC) is not set up correctly or is missing.
  Data Model Changes: SAP S/4HANA has a different data model compared to SAP ECC. If the dimensions that are expected in S/4HANA do not exist in the source system, this error can occur.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data that prevent the system from identifying the correct dimensions for the transfer.
  Migration Cockpit Issues: If you are using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit, there may be issues with
