MAFWKF148 - Details

• The SAP error message MAFWKF148 indicates that you are trying to delete a key figure (KF) that is a basic key figure for another key figure in the system. This means that the key figure you are attempting to delete is being used as a foundational element for another key figure, and therefore cannot be removed without addressing the dependencies.
  
  Cause:
  
  Dependency on Basic Key Figure: The key figure you are trying to delete is defined as a basic key figure for another key figure. In SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA, key figures can be built on top of other key figures, and the system prevents the deletion of a basic key figure that is still in use.
  Data Model Integrity: SAP enforces data model integrity, which means that if a key figure is being referenced by another, it cannot be deleted to avoid breaking the data model.
