How To Fix R7657 - Select key figure &1 in at least one InfoProvider

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: R7 - BW: Data basis

• Message number: 657

• Message text: Select key figure &1 in at least one InfoProvider

What causes this issue?

A key figure that is contained in a MultiProvider must be selected from
at least one of the involved InfoProviders. In general, the key figure
is defined by exactly one InfoProvider, but there are also cases in
which it could be better to make the selection from more than one
InfoProvider. See the following example:

How can this happen?

If the key figure: 0SALES is stored redundantly in more than one
InfoProvider (i.e. fully contained in all value combinations of the
characteristics), a selection from exactly one of the involved
InfoProviders is desired and sufficient (otherwise the value which
exists more than once in the MultiProvider would be added, which is
incorrect). However, if 0SALES is stored in one InfoProvider
as actual value and in another one as plan value, and there is no
overlapping in the data records (that is, the business volume is
distributed disjunctly on more than one InfoProvider), it makes sense
to select from multiple InfoProviders.
