  The SAP error message GENCA_MENA051 indicates that there is a mismatch in the data sources for the key figures being used in a report or query. Specifically, it means that the key figures you are trying to analyze or display are sourced from different data sources, which is not allowed in certain contexts within SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Different Data Sources: The key figures involved in the report or query are derived from different InfoProviders or data sources. For example, one key figure might be coming from an InfoCube while another might be coming from a DataStore Object (DSO).
  Inconsistent Data Model: The data model may not be designed to allow for the combination of these key figures, leading to conflicts when trying to aggregate or display them together.

  Solution:
  
  Check Data Sources: Review the data sources for the key figures involved in the error. Ensure that they are coming from the same InfoProvider or data source.
  Modify the Query: If the key figures must remain from different sources, consider modifying the query to separate them or create a new query that uses only key figures from the same data source.
  Use a Composite Provider: If you need to combine data from different sources, consider creating a Composite Provider that can unify the data from multiple InfoProviders into a single source.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or guidelines on how to properly design queries and reports to avoid such conflicts.
  Testing: After making changes, test the query to ensure that it runs without errors and returns the expected results.
