  The SAP error message RSBC084, which states "Excluding option for field &1(&2) not allowed," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to create or modify a query or report that involves a characteristic or key figure that does not support exclusion.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Incompatible Field: The field you are trying to apply an exclusion on is not designed to support exclusion operations. This can happen with certain characteristics or key figures that are not set up to allow for exclusion in the query definition.
  Query Design: The query might be incorrectly designed, where the exclusion is applied to a field that does not logically support it.

  Review the Query Design:

  Check Field Properties:

  Modify the Query:
  
  If the exclusion is not necessary for your analysis, you can modify the query to remove the exclusion condition.
  Alternatively, if you need to filter data, consider using other filtering options that are supported for that field.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific characteristics or key figures to understand their capabilities and limitations regarding exclusion.
