• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBPCW_EXCEPTION081 - Owner property must be of type Character ?

  The SAP error message RSBPCW_EXCEPTION081 indicates that there is an issue with the "Owner" property in a Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) context. Specifically, it states that the "Owner" property must be of type Character, meaning that the system expects a character string (text) but is receiving a different data type.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The most common cause of this error is that the "Owner" property is defined or populated with a data type that is not compatible with the expected character type. This could happen if:
  
  The property is incorrectly defined in the BPC model.
  The data being loaded into the property is of a different type (e.g., numeric, date, etc.).
  There is a mismatch in the data source or transformation logic that populates this property.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the BPC model or the data source that leads to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Property Definition:
  
  Go to the BPC model configuration and verify that the "Owner" property is defined as a Character type. If it is not, you will need to change it to the correct type.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  Review the data being loaded into the "Owner" property. Ensure that all values are character strings and do not contain any numeric or other incompatible types.
  
  
  
  Data Source and Transformation Logic:
  
  If you are using a data source or ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process to populate the "Owner" property, check the transformation logic to ensure that it correctly converts or maps the data to a character type.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the data load or process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
