• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL116 - Field &1 of type 'DEC' must not have unit or currency specification ?

  The SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL116 indicates that there is an issue with a field defined in an Advanced DataStore Object (ADSO) model. Specifically, it states that a field of type 'DEC' (decimal) must not have a unit or currency specification. This error typically arises during the modeling or activation of an ADSO when the field definitions are not aligned with the expected data types.
  Cause:
  
  Field Definition: The field in question is defined as a decimal type but has been assigned a unit or currency specification. In SAP BW/4HANA, fields of type 'DEC' should not have any associated units or currency.
  Modeling Error: This can occur if the field was incorrectly modeled in the ADSO or if there was a misunderstanding of the data type requirements.
  Data Source Mismatch: If the ADSO is based on a data source that includes unit or currency specifications, and the field is defined as a simple decimal, this mismatch can trigger the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Field Properties: Go to the ADSO model and check the properties of the field that is causing the error. Ensure that it is defined as a decimal without any unit or currency specification.
  Modify Field Definition:
  
  If the field is intended to be a simple decimal, remove any unit or currency settings.
  If the field should have a unit or currency, consider changing its data type to a suitable type that supports these specifications (e.g., a currency type).
  
  
  Re-activate the ADSO: After making the necessary changes, try to re-activate the ADSO model to see if the error persists.
  Review Data Source: If the ADSO is based on a data source, ensure that the data source is correctly defined and that the field mappings are appropriate.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Data Types in SAP BW: Understanding the different data types and their specifications in SAP BW/4HANA is crucial for proper modeling.
  SAP Notes and Documentation: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to ADSO modeling and error messages.
  SAP Community: Engaging with the SAP Community can provide insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RS_ADSO_MODEL116 error and successfully activate your ADSO model.
