• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7B323 - Object &1 belongs to higher-level InfoProvider &2; Display only ?

  The SAP error message R7B323 indicates that you are trying to access or manipulate an object (like a query, characteristic, or key figure) that belongs to a higher-level InfoProvider in a way that is not permitted. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when working with CompositeProviders or MultiProviders.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  The object you are trying to work with is part of a higher-level InfoProvider (like a CompositeProvider or MultiProvider).
  The system restricts certain operations on objects that are part of a higher-level InfoProvider to maintain data integrity and consistency.
  You may be trying to edit or delete an object that is not directly editable because it is aggregated or derived from another InfoProvider.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Object Ownership: Verify which InfoProvider the object belongs to. You can do this by checking the properties of the object in the SAP BW modeling tools.
  
  
  Use Display Mode: If you only need to view the object, ensure you are in display mode. This will allow you to see the object without attempting to modify it.
  
  
  Edit Higher-Level InfoProvider: If you need to make changes to the object, you may need to edit the higher-level InfoProvider that contains it. Make sure you have the necessary permissions to do so.
  
  
  Create a Copy: If you need to modify the object for a specific purpose, consider creating a copy of the object in a lower-level InfoProvider where you have full control.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific InfoProvider you are working with to understand its structure and limitations.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the actions you are attempting. Sometimes, lack of permissions can lead to similar error messages.
