How To Fix KY374 - Choose the charcteristic "&1" and specify a value

KY374 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: KY - Messages for SAP-EIS: Presentation

• Message number: 374

• Message text: Choose the charcteristic "&1" and specify a value

What causes this issue?

It was determined, that the characteristic &V1& has not been selected
yet. This characteristic is, however, required for the key-figure
&V2&.
The reason for this is that no currency-bearing characteristic exists.
For example, a key-figure such as 'Turnover company currency' can exist.
In this case company code is the currency-bearing characteristic. This
means, that it must be fundamentally selected and specified, if the
pertinant key-figure is to be used.

System Response

The characteristic &V1& was automatically selected by the system (s.
screen 'characteristic selection'). As a compulsory selection is being
dealt with you have the possibility of taking the selection back on this
screen. This is then only possible when you have selected no more key-
figures which require &V1&.

How to fix this error?

As the characteristic must not only be selected but also specified, you
should go to the 'Choose characteristics' screen and enter a fixed
value or a (compulsory-) variable.
