• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NRSCNV201 - InfoObjects not of type KYF cannot be used for mapping ?

  The SAP error message NRSCNV201 indicates that there is an issue with the mapping of InfoObjects in a data transformation or data conversion process, specifically that the InfoObjects being used are not of the type "Key Figure" (KYF). This error typically arises in the context of data modeling, data warehousing, or during the extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) processes in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect InfoObject Type: The error occurs when you attempt to map InfoObjects that are not defined as Key Figures (KYF) in your data model. Key Figures are typically numeric values that can be aggregated, while other types of InfoObjects (like Characteristics) are used for descriptive attributes.
  Mapping Configuration: The mapping configuration in your transformation or data flow may incorrectly reference non-Key Figure InfoObjects.
  Data Source Issues: The data source you are using may not have the correct InfoObjects defined or may be incorrectly configured.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check InfoObject Types: Verify the types of the InfoObjects you are trying to map. Ensure that you are only using Key Figure InfoObjects for mapping in the relevant transformation or data flow.
  Adjust Mapping: If you have mistakenly included non-Key Figure InfoObjects in your mapping, remove them or replace them with the appropriate Key Figure InfoObjects.
  Review Transformation Logic: Go through the transformation logic to ensure that it aligns with the data model and that you are using the correct InfoObjects for the intended purpose.
  Data Source Configuration: If the issue is related to the data source, check the configuration of the data source to ensure that it is set up correctly and that the InfoObjects are defined as expected.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on the specific transformation or data flow you are working with.
  
  Related Information:
  
  InfoObjects: In SAP BW, InfoObjects are the building blocks of the data model. They can be classified into Key Figures (KYF) and Characteristics (CHAR).
  Transformation: A transformation in SAP BW is used to define how data is transferred from a source to a target, including any necessary mappings and calculations.
  Data Modeling: Understanding the data model and the relationships between different InfoObjects is crucial for successful data processing in SAP BW or HANA.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance related to this error message.
