• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NRSCNV064 - Key figure &1 is non-cumulative, which is not allowed in InfoCubes ?

  The SAP error message NRSCNV064 indicates that a key figure in your InfoCube is non-cumulative, which is not allowed. This typically occurs when you are trying to load data into an InfoCube that expects cumulative key figures, but the key figure you are using is defined as non-cumulative.
  Cause:
  
  Key Figure Definition: The key figure in question is defined as non-cumulative in the data model. Non-cumulative key figures are typically used for measures that do not accumulate over time, such as rates or averages.
  InfoCube Structure: InfoCubes are designed to work with cumulative key figures, which means they expect data that can be aggregated over time (e.g., sales amounts, quantities).
  Data Loading: During the data loading process, the system encounters a non-cumulative key figure and raises this error because it cannot process it in the context of an InfoCube.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Settings: Review the definition of the key figure in the InfoObject. If it is indeed non-cumulative and should be cumulative, you may need to change its properties in the InfoObject definition.
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1) and check the properties of the key figure.
  Change the setting from non-cumulative to cumulative if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Data Structure: If the key figure is correctly defined as non-cumulative and should remain that way, consider using a different data structure that supports non-cumulative key figures, such as a DataStore Object (DSO) or a MultiProvider that can handle both types of key figures.
  
  
  Data Transformation: If you need to keep the non-cumulative key figure but still want to load it into an InfoCube, you may need to transform the data during the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process to convert it into a cumulative format.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP BW/BI team to ensure that the key figure's usage aligns with best practices for InfoCubes.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  InfoObjects: Understand the difference between cumulative and non-cumulative key figures and how they are used in SAP BW.
  Data Modeling: Familiarize yourself with data modeling concepts in SAP BW, including InfoCubes, DSOs, and MultiProviders.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or solutions related to this error message.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for discussions and solutions shared by other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  By addressing the key figure's definition and ensuring it aligns with the requirements of the InfoCube, you should be able to resolve the NRSCNV064 error.
