• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSCV101 - Initial value for time is not allowed in NCUM provider ?

  The SAP error message RSCV101, which states "Initial value for time is not allowed in NCUM provider," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when dealing with data modeling, particularly with Non-Cumulative (NCUM) key figures.
  
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to set an initial value for a time dimension in a Non-Cumulative key figure. Non-Cumulative key figures are designed to represent values that do not accumulate over time, such as inventory levels or balances. Since these values are not meant to be summed or aggregated over time, setting an initial value for them is not allowed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Settings: 
  
  Go to the InfoObject definition of the Non-Cumulative key figure in question.
  Ensure that the "Initial Value" field is left blank or set to a value that is appropriate for Non-Cumulative key figures (if applicable).
