• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL128 - '&1' not in reporting view; 'Characteristic as key figure' not possible ?

  The SAP error message RS_ADSO_MODEL128 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of an Advanced DataStore Object (ADSO) in SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW on HANA. Specifically, the error message states that a characteristic is being treated as a key figure, which is not allowed in the context of the reporting view.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Modeling: The error typically arises when a characteristic (which is usually a dimension or attribute) is incorrectly defined or used as a key figure (which is a measure or numeric value) in the ADSO model.
  Data Model Configuration: The ADSO may have been configured in such a way that it expects certain characteristics to be key figures, leading to a mismatch.
  Reporting View Definition: The reporting view may be trying to access a characteristic that is not properly defined in the ADSO or is not included in the reporting view.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check ADSO Configuration:
  
  Go to the ADSO definition in the SAP BW modeling tools.
  Verify that the characteristics and key figures are correctly defined. Ensure that all key figures are numeric and that characteristics are not mistakenly set as key figures.
  
  
  
  Adjust Reporting View:
  
  If you are using a reporting view, check the definition of the view to ensure that it is correctly referencing the characteristics and key figures from the ADSO.
  Make sure that the reporting view does not include any characteristics that are being treated as key figures.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the Model:
  
  If necessary, you may need to rebuild the ADSO or the reporting view to ensure that the definitions are correct and consistent.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates:
  
  Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as there may be fixes related to this issue in newer versions.
