• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7B102 - Time Granularity char. &1 not contained in MultiProvider &2 ?

  The SAP error message R7B102 indicates that there is an issue with the time granularity characteristic in a MultiProvider. Specifically, it means that the time granularity characteristic (e.g., day, month, year) specified in your query or report is not included in the MultiProvider you are trying to access.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Characteristic: The time granularity characteristic you are trying to use is not part of the MultiProvider definition.
  Incorrect Query Definition: The query may be incorrectly defined, referencing a characteristic that is not available in the underlying data sources of the MultiProvider.
  Data Source Changes: If the underlying InfoProviders have been changed or updated, the MultiProvider may no longer include the necessary characteristics.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check MultiProvider Definition:
  
  Go to the MultiProvider in the SAP BW system and check its definition.
  Ensure that the time granularity characteristic you are trying to use is included in the MultiProvider.
  
  
  
  Modify the Query:
  
  If the characteristic is not needed, you can modify the query to remove the reference to the time granularity characteristic.
  If it is needed, you may need to adjust the query to use a different characteristic that is available in the MultiProvider.
  
  
  
  Update MultiProvider:
  
  If the characteristic should be included, you may need to update the MultiProvider to include the necessary InfoProviders that contain the time granularity characteristic.
  
  
  
  Check InfoObjects:
  
  Ensure that the InfoObject representing the time granularity is correctly defined and activated in the system.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the Query:
  
  Sometimes, rebuilding the query from scratch can help resolve issues related to characteristics not being recognized.
