• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDD629 - Key figure &1 does not have the aggregation 'SUM' ?

  The SAP error message RSDD629 indicates that a key figure in your data model does not have the required aggregation type set to 'SUM'. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when you are trying to perform operations that require summation on a key figure that is not configured to support it.
  Cause:
  
  Aggregation Type Not Set: The key figure in question is defined in the InfoObject or InfoCube without the aggregation type set to 'SUM'. This means that the system does not know how to aggregate the values of this key figure when performing queries or calculations.
  Data Model Configuration: The data model may not be properly configured to handle the aggregation for the specific key figure.
  Incompatible Data Types: The data type of the key figure may not support summation (e.g., if it is a text or a non-numeric type).
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Settings:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance (transaction code RSD1).
  Locate the key figure that is causing the error.
  Check the properties of the key figure and ensure that the aggregation type is set to 'SUM'.
  If it is not set to 'SUM', change the aggregation type to 'SUM' and activate the InfoObject.
  
  
  
  Rebuild Aggregates:
  
  If you have made changes to the key figure, you may need to rebuild any aggregates that use this key figure. This can be done in the InfoCube maintenance.
  
  
  
  Check Query Design:
  
  If you are using a BEx query, ensure that the key figure is included correctly in the query design and that it is being used in a context that allows for summation.
  
  
  
  Data Type Verification:
  
  Ensure that the data type of the key figure is numeric. If it is not, you may need to create a new key figure with the correct data type.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If changes are made in a development environment, ensure that they are transported to the production environment correctly.
