  • What causes this issue?

    It was determined that characteristic &V1& is selected for the report.
    The selection conditions specified mean that this characteristic is not
    to be selected.
    An example of this is a report that uses a form in which it is specified
    that only the current fiscal year is to be selected. It is therefore not
    meaningful to choose the fiscal year as a drilldown characteristic in
    the report, or enter the previous fiscal year, for example, for
    'Characteristic Values'.
    It is usually ensured that such a situation does not occur. However, a
    retroactive change to the form or an entry on the variables screen can
    result in this situation. In such cases, the change in the form or the
    entries for the variables have a higher priority.

    System Response

    Characteristic &V1& was deleted.

    How to fix this error?

    The system automatically ensures the consistency of the report. If,
    however, you do wish to select characteristic &V1&, you cannot do this
    by simply going to the corresponding screen. You must change the form or
    the variable entries, as appropriate.
