How To Fix RS_ADSO_MODEL110 - '&1': Compounding error on 'Characteristic as key figure' characteristic

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RS_ADSO_MODEL - Messages related to the Datastore Object Backend

• Message number: 110

• Message text: '&1': Compounding error on 'Characteristic as key figure' characteristic

What causes this issue?

The 'Characteristic as Key Figure' flag is selected for characteristic '
<(>&<)>1'.
Because of this, the following restrictions apply in connection with
compounding:
All compounding parents of characteristic '<(>&<)>1' must be either part
of the semantic key<(>,<)> or the 'Characteristic as Key Figure' flag
must be selected for them too, and
The 'Characteristic as Key Figure' flag must be selected for all the
compounding children of characteristic '<(>&<)>1'.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL110 - '&1': Compounding error on 'Characteristic as key figure' characteristic ?

  The SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL110 '&1': "Compounding error on 'Characteristic as key figure' characteristic" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with Advanced DataStore Objects (ADSO). This error is related to the configuration of the ADSO, particularly when defining key figures and characteristics.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The error often arises when a characteristic is incorrectly defined as a key figure. In SAP BW, key figures are numerical values that can be aggregated, while characteristics are descriptive attributes. If a characteristic is mistakenly set up to behave like a key figure, it can lead to compounding errors.
  
  
  Data Model Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data model, such as incorrect relationships or dependencies between characteristics and key figures.
  
  
  Transformation Issues: If there are transformations that incorrectly map characteristics to key figures, this can also trigger the error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check ADSO Configuration:
  
  Go to the ADSO definition in the SAP BW modeling tools.
  Verify that all characteristics are correctly defined and that none are mistakenly set as key figures.
  Ensure that key figures are defined properly and that they are numeric.
  
  
  
  Review Data Model:
  
  Check the data model for any inconsistencies or incorrect mappings.
  Ensure that the relationships between characteristics and key figures are correctly established.
  
  
  
  Transformation and DTP:
  
  Review the transformations and Data Transfer Processes (DTP) associated with the ADSO.
  Ensure that the mappings are correct and that no characteristics are being treated as key figures in the transformation logic.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the Model:
  
  If the issue persists, consider rebuilding the ADSO or the related data model components to ensure that all configurations are correct.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to ADSO and key figure configuration for additional guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  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 training materials or documentation on SAP BW modeling, particularly focusing on the correct setup of ADSOs, key figures, and characteristics.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the cause of the RS_ADSO_MODEL110 error in your SAP BW environment.
