  The SAP error message RSAN_MDL088 indicates that there is an invalid filter for a field in a data model, and as a result, the filter is being deleted. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when working with data models, queries, or InfoProviders.
  Cause:
  
  
  Invalid Filter Configuration: The filter applied to a field in the data model is not valid. This could be due to:
  
  The field being deleted or renamed.
  The filter criteria not matching the data type or values of the field.
  The field not being part of the data model anymore.
  
  
  
  Data Model Changes: Changes made to the underlying data model, such as modifications to InfoObjects, InfoProviders, or transformations, can lead to filters becoming invalid.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the data model was transported from one system to another, inconsistencies may arise if the target system does not have the same configuration or data objects.

  Review the Data Model: Check the data model configuration to ensure that all fields and filters are correctly defined. Look for any discrepancies in field names, types, or values.
  
  
  Update Filters: If the filter is invalid, you may need to either correct the filter criteria or remove the filter altogether. This can be done in the data model or query designer.
  
  
  Check for Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model, ensure that all related objects are updated accordingly. This includes checking InfoObjects, InfoProviders, and any transformations.
  
  
  Recreate the Filter: If necessary, delete the invalid filter and recreate it with the correct parameters.
  
  
  Transport Consistency: If the issue arose after a transport, verify that all necessary objects were transported correctly and that the target system is in sync with the source system.
