• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7475 - Characteristic &1 is exclusively an attribute: Hierarchies are not poss. ?

  The SAP error message R7475 indicates that you are trying to use a characteristic that is defined as an attribute in a way that is not allowed, specifically in the context of hierarchies. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when working with InfoObjects and their hierarchies.
