are adjusted as far as is possible. However, a change has occurred
which means that the report must be transferred to the report portfolio
again.

How to fix this error?

You should delete report &V1&. If you wish to have a report in the
report portfolio again, which corresponds to the deleted one, you
should transfer it again into the report portfolio.
If this is too much effort, as several reports from the report
portfolio are affected by changes to the database, it is recommended
that you undo the changes.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KY423 - Report &1 cannot be executed (key figure deleted) ?

  The SAP error message KY423 indicates that a report cannot be executed because a key figure has been deleted. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when a report or query references a key figure that no longer exists in the underlying data model.
  Cause:
  
  Deleted Key Figure: The most direct cause is that a key figure that was previously part of the report has been deleted from the InfoProvider (e.g., InfoCube, DataStore Object).
  Changes in Data Model: Changes in the data model, such as modifications to the InfoObject definitions or the structure of the InfoProvider, can lead to this error.
  Query Definition Issues: If the query definition still references the deleted key figure, it will result in this error when attempting to execute the report.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Query Definition:
  
  Open the query in the Query Designer.
  Look for any references to the deleted key figure. If found, remove or replace it with an appropriate key figure that exists in the data model.
  
  
  
  Update the InfoProvider:
  
  If the key figure was deleted unintentionally, consider restoring it if possible. This may involve reactivating the InfoObject or re-adding it to the InfoProvider.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the Report:
  
  If the report is heavily dependent on the deleted key figure, it may be necessary to rebuild the report or create a new query that aligns with the current data model.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Review any dependencies or other reports that might be affected by the deletion of the key figure. Ensure that all related reports are updated accordingly.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the deletion was part of a transport request, ensure that the transport was correctly executed and that all necessary objects are included.
