• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMPCV/QRM710 - Query &1: Use of aggregation function in attribute &2 without grouping ?

  The SAP error message /PLMPCV/QRM710 indicates that there is an issue with the use of aggregation functions in a query where the necessary grouping is not defined. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Query Management or reporting tools, where you are trying to aggregate data (e.g., using functions like SUM, AVG, COUNT) on a specific attribute without specifying how the data should be grouped.
  Cause:
  
  
  Aggregation Function Without Grouping: The error arises when you attempt to use an aggregation function on an attribute without defining a grouping for that attribute. For example, if you want to calculate the total sales amount but haven't specified how to group the sales data (e.g., by customer, by product, etc.), SAP cannot compute the aggregation correctly.
  
  
  Query Design Issues: The query might be incorrectly designed, leading to a situation where the system cannot determine how to aggregate the data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define Grouping: Modify your query to include a grouping for the attribute on which you are applying the aggregation function. For instance, if you are aggregating sales data, ensure that you group by relevant dimensions such as customer ID, product ID, or date.
  
  
  Check Query Settings: Review the settings of your query in the SAP Query tool. Ensure that all necessary fields are included in the grouping section of the query.
  
  
  Review Aggregation Logic: If you are using custom logic or calculations, ensure that they are correctly set up to handle the aggregation and grouping.
  
  
  Test the Query: After making the necessary adjustments, test the query to ensure that it runs without errors and returns the expected results.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for the specific module you are working with (e.g., SAP PLM, SAP BW) for detailed guidelines on query design and aggregation functions.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums where other users may have encountered similar issues and can provide insights or solutions.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes (like SQ01 for query creation) that can help you navigate and troubleshoot query-related issues in SAP.
  
  By addressing the grouping issue in your query, you should be able to resolve the error message and successfully execute your aggregation functions.
