• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSCRM619 - Key figure &1 is a date key figure ?

  The SAP error message RSCRM619 indicates that there is an issue with a key figure being treated as a date key figure in a query or report. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when working with queries in BEx (Business Explorer) or when designing reports.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A key figure that is expected to hold numeric values is incorrectly defined or used as a date key figure.
  The data model or InfoProvider has a key figure that is defined as a date, but the query or report is trying to aggregate or process it as a numeric value.
  There may be a mismatch in the data types or definitions in the InfoObject settings.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSCRM619 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Definition:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance in the SAP BW system.
  Verify the definition of the key figure in question (denoted as &1 in the error message).
  Ensure that it is correctly defined as a numeric key figure if it is intended to hold numeric values.
  
  
  
  Review Query Design:
  
  Open the query in the BEx Query Designer.
  Check the properties of the key figure in the query.
  Ensure that it is not being treated as a date key figure in the query settings.
  
  
  
  Data Type Consistency:
  
  Ensure that the data type of the key figure in the underlying data source (e.g., InfoCube, DSO) matches the expected data type in the query.
  If the key figure is meant to be numeric, ensure that it is not being populated with date values.
  
  
  
  Rebuild or Adjust the Query:
  
  If necessary, you may need to rebuild the query or adjust the key figure's usage in the query to ensure it aligns with its intended data type.
  
  
  
  Check for Transformations:
  
  If the key figure is derived from a transformation, check the transformation logic to ensure that it is not inadvertently converting numeric values to dates.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to the specific error message for additional guidance and troubleshooting steps.
