• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS_HCPR_MODEL137 - CompositeProvider with union part cannot contain time-dep. PartProvider & ?

  The SAP error message RS_HCPR_MODEL137 indicates that there is an issue with a CompositeProvider that contains a union part, which cannot include a time-dependent part provider. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW on HANA when working with CompositeProviders that combine data from multiple sources.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  Union Part: In a CompositeProvider, a union part is used to combine data from multiple sources. However, when one of the sources is a time-dependent part provider (like a DataStore Object (DSO) that has time-dependent characteristics), it cannot be combined with other non-time-dependent sources in a union.
  Incompatibility: Time-dependent data has specific characteristics and behaviors that make it incompatible with certain operations, such as unions, which expect all parts to have the same structure and behavior.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Remove Time-Dependent Part: If possible, remove the time-dependent part provider from the union. This may involve redesigning your CompositeProvider to avoid using time-dependent data in the union.
  
  
  Use Separate CompositeProviders: If you need to work with both time-dependent and non-time-dependent data, consider creating separate CompositeProviders for each type of data and then combining the results at a higher level (e.g., in a report or query).
  
  
  Convert Time-Dependent Data: If the time-dependent data does not need to be time-dependent for your use case, consider converting it to a non-time-dependent format. This may involve creating a new DSO or InfoObject that does not have time dependency.
  
  
  Check Data Model: Review your data model to ensure that the design aligns with the requirements of the CompositeProvider. Ensure that the characteristics and key figures used in the union part are compatible.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for CompositeProviders and time-dependent data to understand the limitations and best practices.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP BW/4HANA Documentation: Check the official SAP Help Portal for detailed information on CompositeProviders and their configurations.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if others have encountered similar issues and how they resolved them.
  SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RS_HCPR_MODEL137 error and successfully configure your CompositeProvider.
