• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R8480 - The InfoObject &2 that is compounded to IO &1 has not been maintained ?

  The SAP error message R8480 indicates that there is an issue with the maintenance of an InfoObject that is compounded to another InfoObject. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when dealing with InfoObjects and their relationships.
  Cause:
  The error message R8480 is triggered when:
  
  An InfoObject (let's call it IO &2) that is compounded to another InfoObject (IO &1) has not been properly maintained or configured.
  The compounded InfoObject (IO &2) is expected to have certain attributes or settings that have not been defined, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Maintenance:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1 or RSD1).
  Locate the compounded InfoObject (IO &2) and check its settings.
  Ensure that all required attributes and settings for IO &2 are properly maintained.
  
  
  
  Maintain Compounding:
  
  Verify that the compounding relationship between IO &1 and IO &2 is correctly defined.
  If IO &2 is supposed to be compounded to IO &1, ensure that IO &1 is also properly maintained.
  
  
  
  Activate InfoObjects:
  
  After making any changes, make sure to activate both InfoObjects (IO &1 and IO &2) to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Review any dependencies or other InfoObjects that may be related to IO &2. Ensure that they are also properly maintained.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, ensure that any changes are included in the appropriate transport requests if they need to be moved to a production environment.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the specific settings required for the InfoObjects, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP BW/BI administrator for guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  InfoObjects: These are the basic building blocks in SAP BW/BI that represent characteristics (dimensions) and key figures (measures).
  Compounding: This is a feature in SAP BW that allows you to create a hierarchy of InfoObjects, where one InfoObject can be dependent on another.
  Transaction Codes: Common transaction codes for InfoObject maintenance include RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) and RSD1 (InfoObject Maintenance).
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the R8480 error and ensure that your InfoObjects are properly maintained and configured.
