  The SAP error message KX419 indicates that there is an issue with the aggregation settings for a key figure in a planning application. Specifically, it means that the aggregation for a basic key figure must be defined, but it has not been set up correctly.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation) when:
  
  A basic key figure is being used in a planning function or query, but the aggregation method for that key figure has not been defined.

  Solution:
  To resolve the KX419 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Settings:
  
  Go to the key figure definition in the InfoObject or planning model.
