• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7B624 - InfoObject &1: No temporal hierarchy join characteristic assigned ?

  The SAP error message R7B624 indicates that there is an issue with a temporal hierarchy in your SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system. Specifically, it means that the InfoObject you are working with does not have a temporal hierarchy join characteristic assigned. This can occur when you are trying to use a temporal hierarchy in a query or report, but the necessary configuration is missing.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Assignment: The InfoObject does not have a temporal hierarchy join characteristic assigned. This characteristic is necessary for the system to understand how to join the temporal hierarchy with the InfoObject.
  Incorrect Configuration: The InfoObject may not be properly configured to work with temporal hierarchies.
  Hierarchy Not Defined: The temporal hierarchy itself may not be defined or activated in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Settings:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1).
  Locate the InfoObject that is causing the error.
  Check the properties of the InfoObject to see if a temporal hierarchy join characteristic is assigned.
  
  
  
  Assign Temporal Hierarchy Join Characteristic:
  
  If the characteristic is not assigned, you need to assign a temporal hierarchy join characteristic to the InfoObject.
  This can typically be done in the InfoObject maintenance screen under the "Hierarchy" tab.
  
  
  
  Define Temporal Hierarchy:
  
  Ensure that the temporal hierarchy is defined and activated in the system.
  You can do this by navigating to the hierarchy maintenance area and checking if the temporal hierarchy exists and is correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the Query:
  
  If you are using a query that references the InfoObject, you may need to rebuild or refresh the query to ensure that it recognizes the changes made.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or settings that might be affecting the InfoObject or the temporal hierarchy.
