• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KH028 - Choose at least one key figure ?

  The SAP error message KH028 ("Choose at least one key figure") typically occurs in the context of reporting or analysis in SAP systems, particularly when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation). This error indicates that the user has not selected any key figures for the report or query they are trying to execute.
  Cause:
  
  No Key Figures Selected: The primary cause of this error is that the user has not selected any key figures in the report or query definition. Key figures are essential for data analysis as they represent measurable values (e.g., sales, costs, quantities).
  Query Design Issues: If the query is designed incorrectly or if the key figures are not properly configured in the InfoProvider, this error may arise.
  User Permissions: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary permissions to access certain key figures, leading to the inability to select them.
  
  Solution:
  
  Select Key Figures: Ensure that at least one key figure is selected in the report or query. This can usually be done in the query designer or report layout by dragging and dropping the desired key figures into the appropriate area.
  Check Query Design: Review the query design to ensure that key figures are properly defined and available for selection. If necessary, modify the query to include the required key figures.
  Permissions Check: Verify that the user has the appropriate permissions to access the key figures. If not, contact your SAP administrator to adjust the user roles and permissions.
  Refresh the Query: Sometimes, refreshing the query or reloading the report can resolve temporary issues that may cause this error.
