• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7829 - Caution: There are InfoObjects with selection conditions not = "unique" ?

  The SAP error message R7829 indicates that there are InfoObjects in your query that have selection conditions that are not set to "unique." This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when you are working with queries in the BEx Query Designer or similar tools.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you have defined selection conditions on InfoObjects (like characteristics) in your query that allow for multiple values or do not enforce uniqueness. This can lead to ambiguous results when the query is executed, as the system may not be able to determine a single, unique value for the InfoObject.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review Selection Conditions:
  
  Open the query in the BEx Query Designer.
  Check the selection conditions for the InfoObjects that are causing the error.
  Ensure that the selection conditions are set to return unique values. This may involve changing the condition from "IN" or "BETWEEN" to a specific value or ensuring that the selection is limited to a unique set of values.
  
  
  
  Modify Query Structure:
  
  If the InfoObject is meant to return multiple values, consider restructuring your query to handle these cases appropriately.
  You may need to aggregate data or use different InfoObjects that can provide unique values.
  
  
  
  Check InfoObject Settings:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance in the SAP BW system and check the settings for the InfoObjects in question.
  Ensure that the properties of the InfoObjects are correctly defined, especially regarding uniqueness.
  
  
  
  Test the Query:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the query again to see if the error persists.
  If the error is resolved, save the changes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about how to set the selection conditions or modify the query, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on working with queries and InfoObjects.
