• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7I151 - Only InfoObjects of the same type copied ?

  The SAP error message R7I151, which states "Only InfoObjects of the same type copied," typically occurs during the process of copying InfoObjects in the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) environment. This error indicates that there is an attempt to copy InfoObjects that are not of the same type, such as trying to copy a characteristic to a key figure or vice versa.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system is trying to copy InfoObjects that belong to different categories. In SAP BW, InfoObjects are classified into different types, such as:
  
  Characteristics (e.g., customer, product)
  Key Figures (e.g., sales amount, quantity)
  Time Characteristics (e.g., fiscal year, month)
  
  When you attempt to copy InfoObjects, they must be of the same type. If you try to copy a characteristic to a key figure or any other incompatible type, the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve the R7I151 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the InfoObjects: Review the InfoObjects you are trying to copy. Ensure that they are of the same type. For example, if you are copying characteristics, make sure all selected InfoObjects are characteristics.
  
  
  Select Compatible InfoObjects: If you need to copy InfoObjects, ensure that you are only selecting those that are compatible. For instance, if you are copying characteristics, only select other characteristics.
  
  
  Use the Correct Copy Function: If you need to copy different types of InfoObjects, consider using the appropriate functions or tools designed for that purpose, such as creating new InfoObjects instead of copying.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on copying InfoObjects and the specific requirements for each type.
  
  
  Check for Custom Developments: If you are using custom developments or enhancements, ensure that they are not interfering with the standard behavior of InfoObject copying.
