How To Fix R7239 - Characteristic &1 bearing hierarchies: Max. length with compounding: &2

R7239 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: R7 - BW: Data basis

• Message number: 239

• Message text: Characteristic &1 bearing hierarchies: Max. length with compounding: &2

What causes this issue?

For characters with hierarchies, a maximum length of &V3& characters is
permitted. Characteristic &V1&, together with the characteristics that
it is compounded with, exceeds this length.

System Response

Characteristic &V1& cannot be activated.

How to fix this error?

Shorten the length of characteristic &V1& to a maximum of &V2&
characters, or leave out the hierarchies for this characteristic.

  The SAP error message R7239 typically relates to issues with characteristic hierarchies in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence). This error indicates that a characteristic is exceeding the maximum length allowed when compounding hierarchies.
  
  Cause:
  The error message R7239 occurs when:
  
  A characteristic is defined with a hierarchy that exceeds the maximum length allowed for compounded characteristics.
  The maximum length for compounded characteristics is defined in the system settings, and the current configuration or data exceeds this limit.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Definition:
  
  Review the definition of the characteristic that is causing the error. Ensure that the hierarchy structure is correctly defined and does not exceed the maximum length.
  
  
  
  Adjust Hierarchy Levels:
  
  If the hierarchy is too deep or has too many levels, consider simplifying it. You may need to reduce the number of levels or the number of characteristics being compounded.
  
  
  
  Modify Maximum Length Settings:
