  The SAP error message RSDDB718 indicates that the specified InfoObject (in this case, &1) is not a "SPO" (Single Point of Origin) based on an InfoCube. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an issue with the data model or the configuration of the InfoCube.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect InfoObject Configuration: The InfoObject may not be properly configured to be used in the context of the InfoCube. This can happen if the InfoObject is not set as a key figure or if it is not defined correctly in the InfoCube structure.
  Data Model Issues: The InfoCube may not be set up to support the specific InfoObject, or there may be inconsistencies in the data model.
  Missing Attributes: The InfoObject might be missing required attributes or characteristics that are necessary for it to be recognized as SPO.
  Data Source Issues: The data source feeding into the InfoCube may not be correctly aligned with the InfoObject.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Configuration:
