SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: REP_EAPS_CZ_MSG - PS-CZ Reports

• Message number: 028

• Message text: Nodes '&1/&2' with mixed signs converted to grouped items '&3/&2' (STD)

What causes this issue?

Old customizing of the line '&V1&/&V2&' has the nodes with mixed sign
(+/-).

System Response

All the nodes of line '&V1&/&V2&' are converted to
<DS:DE.IDREPFW_REP_SRCID>source identification</> '&V3&', and the
<DS:DE.REP_EAPS_LINENR>line number</> '&V2&' with a
<DS:DE.REP_EAPS_LINETYPE>line type</> is set to <ZK>Item Value Grouped.
</>The
<DS:DE.REP_EAPS_ITEM_GROUP>group of items</> is called 'STD' and is
created with both
<DS:DE.REP_EAPS_ITEM_GROUP_SIGN>signs</> (<ZK>+</> and <ZK>-</>).

How to fix this error?

Double-check the converted Customizing in
<DS:DE.REP_EAPS_LINENR>line</> '&V3&/&V2&'. If the original meaning of
the negative sign of the nodes means that these nodes form the subset
that has to be excluded from all the other positive nodes during the
calculation of the value, you can simplify the automatic conversion for
the Customizing of this <DS:DE.REP_EAPS_LINENR>line</> in the
<DS:SIMG.REP_EAPS_RFBILVC>Set Up Data Connector for Reporting Framework
</> Customizing activity.
You can simplify it by setting the
<DS:DE.REP_EAPS_LINETYPE>line type</> to <ZK>Item Value (Simple).</>
After that, add all the positive nodes as the
<DS:DE.REP_EAPS_ITEM_ID>line items</> with their item sign set to<ZK>
Range limit included</> and all the negative nodes with their item sign
set to <ZK>Range limit excluded</>.
If the original negative nodes do not form the subset to be excluded
from all the other positive nodes during the calculation of the value,
you do not have to change the Customizing.
