• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSCUR034 - Data object does not contain a key figure column of type currency ?

  The SAP error message RSCUR034 indicates that the data object you are working with does not contain a key figure column of type currency. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when you are trying to perform operations that require currency data, such as currency conversion or calculations involving monetary values.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Currency Key Figure: The data object (e.g., InfoProvider, InfoCube, or DataStore Object) does not have a key figure defined as a currency type. Key figures are numerical values that can be aggregated, and currency key figures are specifically designed to handle monetary values.
  Incorrect Data Model: The data model may not be set up correctly to include currency key figures, or the relevant key figure may have been deleted or not activated.
  Data Source Issues: The data source from which the data is being extracted may not include currency key figures, or the extraction process may not be configured to pull them.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Model: Verify the structure of the data object you are using. Ensure that it includes at least one key figure defined as a currency type. You can do this by:
  
  Going to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1).
  Navigating to the InfoProvider or InfoCube in question.
  Checking the key figures defined in the structure.
  
  
  
  Add Currency Key Figure: If there is no currency key figure, you may need to add one. This can be done by:
  
  Editing the InfoObject and defining a new key figure with the data type set to currency.
  Ensuring that the currency key figure is properly configured with the necessary attributes (e.g., currency unit).
  
  
  
  Review Data Source: If you are using a data source, check that it is configured to include currency key figures. You may need to adjust the extraction logic or the underlying data source to ensure that currency data is included.
  
  
  Re-activate Objects: After making changes, ensure that you re-activate the InfoProvider or InfoCube and any related objects to apply the changes.
  
  
  Test the Query: After making the necessary adjustments, test the query or report again to see if the error persists.
