• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL107 - '&1': 'Characteristic as key figure' not allowed in current aDSO flavor ?

  The SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL107 indicates that a characteristic is being used as a key figure in an Advanced DataStore Object (aDSO) configuration, which is not allowed in the current flavor of the aDSO. This error typically arises when there is a misconfiguration in the data model or when the data structure does not comply with the rules of the aDSO type being used.
  Cause:
  
  Misconfiguration: The characteristic that is being treated as a key figure is not defined correctly in the aDSO model. In aDSOs, key figures and characteristics have specific roles, and mixing them can lead to this error.
  Incompatible aDSO Flavor: The aDSO flavor (e.g., standard, write-optimized, or planning) may have restrictions on how characteristics and key figures can be defined.
  Data Model Design: The design of the data model may not align with the requirements of the aDSO, leading to the use of characteristics in a way that is not permitted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the Data Model: Check the aDSO definition and ensure that characteristics are not being incorrectly defined as key figures. Key figures should be numeric values, while characteristics should represent descriptive attributes.
  Adjust the aDSO Flavor: If the current flavor of the aDSO does not support the intended use of the characteristic, consider changing the aDSO flavor to one that allows for the desired configuration.
  Modify the Data Source: If the data source is feeding data into the aDSO, ensure that it is correctly mapping the fields to the appropriate types (key figures vs. characteristics).
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for the specific aDSO flavor you are using to understand the limitations and requirements regarding key figures and characteristics.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on aDSO configurations.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  Training and Documentation: Consider reviewing SAP training materials or documentation on aDSOs to better understand the design principles and best practices.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RS_ADSO_MODEL107 error and ensure that your aDSO is configured correctly.
