• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSD_GEO124 - InfoObject &1 is no basic characteristic ?

  The SAP error message RSD_GEO124 indicates that the InfoObject you are trying to use is not defined as a basic characteristic in the context of the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system. This error typically arises when you are working with InfoObjects in the context of a query or a data model, and the system expects a basic characteristic but finds that the specified InfoObject does not meet that requirement.
  Cause:
  
  InfoObject Type: The InfoObject you are referencing is not defined as a basic characteristic. Basic characteristics are those that can be used as dimensions in queries and are typically used for filtering and grouping data.
  Incorrect Configuration: The InfoObject may have been incorrectly configured or not set up properly in the data model.
  Hierarchy Issues: If the InfoObject is part of a hierarchy, it may not be recognized as a basic characteristic if the hierarchy is not properly defined.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Definition:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1) and check the properties of the InfoObject in question.
  Ensure that it is defined as a basic characteristic. You can do this by checking the "Basic Characteristic" checkbox in the InfoObject's attributes.
  
  
  
  Modify Query or Data Model:
  
  If the InfoObject is not intended to be a basic characteristic, consider modifying your query or data model to use a different InfoObject that is defined as a basic characteristic.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Adjust Hierarchies:
  
  If the InfoObject is part of a hierarchy, ensure that the hierarchy is correctly defined and that the InfoObject is appropriately linked to it.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the InfoObject was recently transported from another system, ensure that all related objects and settings were also transported correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on InfoObject configuration and characteristics.
