• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GI361 - Due to a filter requirmnt for field &1, no summarization of data possible ?

  The SAP error message GI361 indicates that there is a filter requirement for a specific field (denoted as &1) that prevents the summarization of data in a report or transaction. This typically occurs in the context of reporting or data analysis where certain fields are required to be summarized, but the filter applied restricts this operation.
  Cause:
  
  Filter Requirements: The error arises when a filter is applied to a field that is necessary for summarization. For example, if you are trying to summarize sales data but have applied a filter on a specific customer or product that prevents the aggregation of the data.
  Data Structure: The underlying data structure may not support summarization due to the way the data is organized or the relationships between the fields.
  Field Characteristics: The field in question may have characteristics that do not allow for summarization, such as being a non-aggregatable field.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Filters: Check the filters applied to the report or transaction. Remove or adjust the filters that are causing the issue. Ensure that the fields you want to summarize are not being restricted by the filters.
  Change Report Settings: If you are using a reporting tool (like SAP Query, Report Painter, etc.), check the settings to ensure that summarization is enabled and that the fields required for summarization are included.
  Data Model Review: If you have access to the data model, review the relationships and characteristics of the fields involved. Ensure that the fields you are trying to summarize are compatible with the summarization process.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the report or transaction you are using. There may be specific notes or guidelines related to the error message.
