• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MAFWKF222 - Key fig. &1 in cat. &2 cannot be aggregated with gen. non-additive proc. ?

  The SAP error message MAFWKF222 indicates that there is an issue with the aggregation of a key figure in a specific category. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when trying to aggregate non-additive key figures using a general non-additive process.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Additive Key Figures: The key figure you are trying to aggregate is defined as non-additive. Non-additive key figures cannot be summed up across certain dimensions (e.g., rates, ratios).
  Aggregation Process: The aggregation process you are using is not compatible with the non-additive nature of the key figure. This can happen if the aggregation method is set incorrectly or if the key figure is not designed to be aggregated in the way you are attempting.
  Category Mismatch: The category of the key figure may not support the aggregation method being used. For example, if the key figure is in a category that does not allow for certain types of calculations or aggregations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Key Figure Definition: Review the definition of the key figure in the InfoObject. Ensure that it is correctly defined as non-additive if that is the intended behavior.
  Aggregation Method: Verify the aggregation method being used in your query or report. If the key figure is non-additive, you may need to use a different method that is compatible with non-additive key figures.
  Adjust Query Design: If you are using a query in SAP BW, consider adjusting the query design to avoid aggregating the non-additive key figure. You might need to change the way the data is displayed or calculated.
  Use Calculated Key Figures: If necessary, create a calculated key figure that can handle the aggregation in a way that is compatible with the non-additive key figure.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling non-additive key figures and the appropriate aggregation methods.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Non-Additive Key Figures: These are key figures that cannot be summed up across certain dimensions. Common examples include averages, percentages, and ratios.
  Aggregation in SAP BW: Understanding how aggregation works in SAP BW is crucial. Non-additive key figures require special handling in queries and reports.
  SAP Notes and Community: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to this error message. The SAP Community forums can also be a valuable resource for troubleshooting and solutions shared by other users.
