  • 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.

    System Response

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    How to fix this error?

    Depending on the situation, select the key figure in one or more
    involved InfoProvider.
