How To Fix KX443 - Check whether the formula for key figure &1 makes sense


KX443 - Overview

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: KX - EC-EIS/EC-BP: Data basis, data collection

  • Message number: 443

  • Message text: Check whether the formula for key figure &1 makes sense

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    The formula of this key figure is not correct. The formula was checked
    using the following rules:
    Each key figure has a quantity number Q and a currency number C.
    Each basic key figure either has quantity Q = 1 and currency C = 0 or
    quantity Q = 0 and currency C = 1.
    Each constant has C = 0 and Q = 0.
    Example: Basic key figure 'sales quantity' has quantity Q = 1 and
    currency C = 0. Basic key figure 'revenue' has quantity Q = 0 and
    currency C = 1.
    Key figures are checked by testing the formula in formula levels with
    one or two place operators.
    The two place operators are checked to see whether the quantity and
    currency numbers are compatible with the operators.
    Each formula level has a quantity number and a currency number.
    Operators such as 'SIN' and 'COS' are distinguished from the others.
    If one formula level in a key figure is distinguished from the others,
    the whole key figure is too.
    The compatibility of quantity figures and currency figures is checked
    on the basis of the following table, where Q1 is the quantity number
    and C1 the currency number of the first operand and Q2 the quantity
    number and C2 the currency number of the second operand. Q is the
    quantity number and C the currency number of the current formula level.
