• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL124 - Field &1: precision must not be less than 1. ?

  The SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL124 indicates that there is an issue with the precision of a field in an Advanced DataStore Object (ADSO) model. Specifically, the error message states that the precision of a field must not be less than 1. This typically occurs when defining the characteristics of a field in the ADSO, particularly for numeric fields.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the definition of a field in the ADSO where the precision (the total number of digits that can be stored) is set to a value less than 1. This is not allowed because a numeric field must have at least one digit to store a valid number.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check the field definitions in your ADSO model and ensure that the precision for the affected field is set to a valid value (1 or greater). Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Open the ADSO Model: Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction code RSA1) and navigate to the ADSO model that is causing the error.
  
  
  Check Field Definitions: Look for the field mentioned in the error message (Field &1). Check its properties, particularly the precision and scale settings.
  
  
  Adjust Precision: If the precision is set to a value less than 1, change it to a valid value (e.g., 1 or higher). Ensure that the scale (the number of digits to the right of the decimal point) is also set appropriately.
  
  
  Save and Activate: After making the necessary changes, save the model and activate it.
  
  
  Test the Changes: Run the process that was causing the error to ensure that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Field Types: Understand the different field types and their properties in SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW. Numeric fields typically require a precision and scale to be defined correctly.
  Data Modeling Best Practices: Familiarize yourself with best practices for data modeling in SAP BW/4HANA, including how to define fields and their properties.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional context or updates related to this error message.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RS_ADSO_MODEL124 error and ensure that your ADSO model is correctly configured.
