  Cause:
  
  Invalid Restrictions: The error is often caused by invalid or incompatible restrictions applied to a query or optimization element. This can happen if the restrictions reference non-existent characteristics, or if they are not applicable to the data model being used.

  Modify Query: If you are using a query designer, open the query and review the conditions. Remove or correct any invalid restrictions.
  Check Data Model: Verify that the underlying data model has not changed in a way that would invalidate the restrictions. If changes have been made, update the query accordingly.

  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to the specific version of SAP BW or HANA you are using for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
