  • 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.
