• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MAFWKF114 - Attributes of key figure &1 cannot be changed ?

  The SAP error message MAFWKF114 indicates that there is an attempt to change the attributes of a key figure in a data model or InfoProvider that is not allowed. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when working with key figures in a data model.
  Cause:
  
  Key Figure Locking: The key figure may be locked for changes due to its current usage in queries, reports, or other data models.
  Data Model Restrictions: The key figure might be part of a data model that has restrictions on changing its attributes after it has been activated or used in reporting.
  Technical Settings: The technical settings of the key figure may not allow for changes, especially if it is defined as a calculated key figure or if it has dependencies on other objects.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the key figure.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Lock Status: Verify if the key figure is currently locked. If it is, you may need to unlock it or wait until it is no longer in use.
  Review Data Model: Check the data model or InfoProvider to see if there are any restrictions on changing key figures. If the key figure is part of a composite provider or a calculation view, you may need to adjust the model accordingly.
  Modify Attributes: If you need to change the attributes, consider creating a new key figure with the desired attributes instead of modifying the existing one.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the key figure. If not, contact your system administrator to obtain the required permissions.
