• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KH452 - Key figure & is not suited for elimination ?

  The SAP error message KH452 ("Key figure & is not suited for elimination") typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation) when dealing with data consolidation and elimination processes. This error indicates that the key figure you are trying to use for elimination is not configured correctly or is not suitable for the elimination process.
  Cause:
  
  Key Figure Configuration: The key figure may not be set up to allow for elimination. In SAP, certain key figures are designated for specific types of calculations, and if a key figure is not marked as suitable for elimination, this error will occur.
  Data Type: The data type of the key figure may not support elimination. For example, certain key figures may be defined as non-numeric or may have incompatible data types.

  Check Key Figure Settings: Go to the key figure settings in the SAP BW or BPC model and ensure that the key figure is marked as suitable for elimination. This may involve checking the properties of the key figure in the InfoObject or model configuration.
  Review Data Types: Ensure that the key figure is of a numeric data type that can be used for elimination. If it is not, consider creating a new key figure that is compatible.
  Adjust Model Configuration: If the key figure is not included in the elimination model, you may need to adjust the model configuration to include it. This may involve modifying the data model or the elimination rules.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring key figures for elimination in your version of SAP BW or BPC.
