• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBBS480 - Enter a sender query ?

  The SAP error message RSBBS480, which states "Enter a sender query," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to create or modify a data transfer process (DTP) or a data source that requires a sender query to be specified.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system expects a sender query to be defined, but it has not been provided. This can happen in scenarios where you are trying to set up a data flow that involves a query as a data source, but the necessary query has not been selected or created.
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSBBS480 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Context: Determine where you are encountering the error. This could be in the DTP, InfoPackage, or while configuring a data source.

  If you are using a query as a data source, make sure to select an existing query or create a new one.

  Once the query is created, go back to the DTP or InfoPackage and assign the newly created query as the sender query.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access the query and the data source.
