• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDAS_PERSIST041 - Parameter error: &1 is not permitted for multiple values ?

  The SAP error message RSDAS_PERSIST041 indicates that there is a parameter error related to the use of multiple values in a context where it is not permitted. This typically occurs in the context of data extraction or reporting in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence).
  Cause:
  The error usually arises when:
  
  A characteristic or key figure is being used in a query or data extraction that does not support multiple values.
  A filter or selection criteria is applied that allows for multiple values, but the underlying data model or query definition does not accommodate this.
  There may be a mismatch in the expected data types or formats for the parameters being passed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Query Definition:
  
  Review the query definition in the Query Designer. Ensure that the characteristics or key figures used in the query are set up to allow multiple values if that is your intention.
  If a characteristic is not meant to support multiple values, adjust the query to use single values instead.
  
  
  
  Adjust Filters:
  
  If you are applying filters in your query, ensure that they are compatible with the data model. For example, if a filter is set to allow multiple selections, but the characteristic does not support it, you will need to modify the filter to allow only single selections.
  
  
  
  Review Data Model:
  
  Check the InfoObjects and their properties in the data model. Ensure that the InfoObjects are configured correctly to handle the expected values.
  If necessary, modify the InfoObject settings to allow for multiple values if that aligns with your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Test with Different Values:
  
  Try running the query or extraction with different single values to see if the error persists. This can help isolate whether the issue is with specific values or the overall configuration.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the characteristics and their allowed value types. This can provide insights into how to configure your queries correctly.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates:
  
  Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as sometimes bugs or issues are resolved in newer versions.
