• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7525 - Aggregation of non-cumulative value key figure &1 was adjusted ?

  The SAP error message R7525 indicates that there is an issue with the aggregation of a non-cumulative key figure in a report or query. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when dealing with data modeling and reporting.
  Cause:
  The error arises when a non-cumulative key figure (such as a value that should not be summed over time, like a balance or a stock) is being aggregated in a way that is not appropriate for its nature. Non-cumulative key figures are meant to represent values that do not accumulate over time, and thus, aggregating them in a standard way (like summing) can lead to incorrect results.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Settings: 
  
  Go to the InfoObject definition of the key figure in question (denoted as &1 in the error message).
  Ensure that the key figure is correctly defined as non-cumulative. This is typically set in the properties of the InfoObject.
  
  
  
  Adjust Query Design:
  
  If you are using a query in BEx (Business Explorer), check the aggregation settings in the query designer.
  Make sure that the non-cumulative key figure is not being aggregated in a way that is inappropriate. For example, avoid using sum or average functions on non-cumulative key figures.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Aggregation Functions:
  
  For non-cumulative key figures, use appropriate aggregation functions that respect the nature of the data. For instance, you might want to use "last value" or "maximum" instead of "sum".
  
  
  
  Review Data Model:
  
  If the key figure is part of a composite provider or a multi-provider, ensure that the underlying data sources are correctly configured to handle non-cumulative values.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making adjustments, test the report or query to ensure that the error no longer appears and that the results are as expected.
