• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_HCPR_MODEL073 - Compounding parent '&1' of '&2' needs constant mapping too ?

  The SAP error message RS_HCPR_MODEL073 indicates that there is an issue with the mapping of a compounding parent in a data model. Specifically, it suggests that the compounding parent of a characteristic needs to have a constant mapping defined, but it currently does not.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when you are working with data models that involve characteristics and hierarchies. The error message indicates that the system expects a constant mapping for the compounding parent characteristic, which is not defined. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Constant Mapping: The compounding parent characteristic does not have a constant mapping defined in the data model.
  Incorrect Hierarchy Configuration: The hierarchy configuration may not be set up correctly, leading to inconsistencies in how the characteristics are defined.
  Data Model Changes: Changes made to the data model or characteristics without updating the mappings can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RS_HCPR_MODEL073 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Characteristic Configuration:
  
  Go to the characteristic settings in the SAP BW or HANA model.
  Ensure that the compounding parent characteristic has a constant mapping defined.
  
  
  
  Define Constant Mapping:
  
  If the constant mapping is missing, you need to define it. This can usually be done in the characteristic settings where you can specify how the compounding parent relates to the child characteristic.
  
  
  
  Review Hierarchy Settings:
  
  Check the hierarchy settings for the characteristics involved. Ensure that the hierarchy is correctly defined and that all necessary mappings are in place.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the Data Model:
  
  If changes were made to the data model, consider rebuilding or reactivating the data model to ensure that all mappings and settings are correctly applied.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on setting up characteristics and hierarchies in your version of SAP BW or HANA.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the data model to ensure that the error is resolved and that data is being processed correctly.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
