• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LM096 - You have chosen the char. "portfolio" without the char. "company code" ?

  The SAP error message LM096 indicates that you have selected a characteristic (in this case, "portfolio") without also selecting a related characteristic (in this case, "company code"). This typically occurs in the context of reporting or analysis where certain characteristics are interdependent.
  Cause:
  
  Interdependent Characteristics: In SAP, certain characteristics are designed to work together. For example, a portfolio may be associated with a specific company code, and selecting one without the other can lead to inconsistencies in the data being analyzed or reported.
  Data Model Configuration: The data model or the configuration of the reporting tool may require both characteristics to be selected to ensure that the data is correctly filtered and displayed.
  User Input Error: The user may have inadvertently selected only the "portfolio" characteristic without realizing that "company code" is also required.
  
  Solution:
  
  Select the Required Characteristic: Go back to the selection screen and ensure that you also select the "company code" characteristic along with "portfolio". This should resolve the error.
  Review Documentation: Check the documentation or guidelines for the specific report or analysis you are running to understand the required characteristics.
  Consult with SAP Support or Functional Team: If you are unsure about the relationships between characteristics or if the error persists, consult with your SAP support team or functional consultant for further assistance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Review SAP's official documentation for the specific module you are working with (e.g., SAP BW, SAP FI) to understand the relationships between different characteristics.
  Training and Resources: Consider training sessions or resources that cover the reporting tools and data models in your SAP environment to better understand how to navigate and utilize them effectively.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes that may help you in troubleshooting or configuring reports (e.g., RSA1 for Data Warehousing, SE11 for Data Dictionary).
  
  By ensuring that you select all required characteristics, you should be able to avoid this error in the future.
