• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message INM029 - No thresh.vals have been entered for key figure &1 or they contain errors ?

  The SAP error message INM029 indicates that there are no threshold values entered for a specific key figure, or that the values entered contain errors. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) when working with key figures that require threshold values for alerts or notifications.
  Cause:
  
  
  No Threshold Values Entered: The key figure in question does not have any threshold values defined. Threshold values are necessary for the system to determine when to trigger alerts or notifications based on the key figure's data.
  
  
  Errors in Threshold Values: If threshold values have been entered, there may be issues such as:
  
  Incorrect data types (e.g., text instead of numeric).
  Logical errors (e.g., minimum threshold greater than maximum threshold).
  Missing values or incomplete entries.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the key figure or the alert settings that prevent the system from recognizing the threshold values.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Threshold Values:
  
  Navigate to the relevant configuration area in SAP (e.g., Key Figure settings in IBP).
  Ensure that threshold values are defined for the key figure in question. This typically involves specifying minimum and maximum values or other relevant criteria.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors:
  
  Review the threshold values that have been entered for any inconsistencies or errors.
  Ensure that the data types are correct and that the logical relationships between values are valid.
  
  
  
  Configuration Review:
  
  Check the configuration settings for the key figure and the alerting mechanism to ensure they are set up correctly.
  If necessary, consult the documentation or seek assistance from a system administrator or SAP consultant to verify that everything is configured properly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the key figure and the alerting mechanism to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that alerts are functioning as expected.
