• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDDTPS_HIER113 - &1 is not a SID-convert characteristic ?

  The SAP error message RSDDTPS_HIER113 indicates that a characteristic you are trying to use in a hierarchy is not a SID-convert characteristic. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with InfoObjects and their hierarchies.
  Cause:
  
  Non-SID Characteristic: The characteristic you are trying to use in a hierarchy is not defined as a SID (Surrogate ID) characteristic. SID characteristics are those that have a unique identifier in the BW system, which is necessary for certain operations, especially when dealing with hierarchies.
  Incorrect Configuration: The characteristic may not be properly configured in the InfoObject settings, or it may not be intended to be used in a hierarchy.
  Data Model Issues: There may be issues with the data model or the way the InfoObject is being used in the context of the hierarchy.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Settings:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance (transaction code RSD1) and check the settings of the characteristic in question.
  Ensure that the characteristic is defined correctly and is intended to be used in a hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Define as SID Characteristic:
  
  If the characteristic should be a SID characteristic, you may need to adjust its settings. This typically involves ensuring that it is set up to generate SIDs correctly.
  
  
  
  Hierarchy Configuration:
  
  Review the hierarchy configuration to ensure that it is set up correctly. Make sure that the characteristic you are trying to use is compatible with the hierarchy structure.
  
  
  
  Rebuild Hierarchies:
  
  If changes are made to the characteristic or its settings, you may need to rebuild the hierarchies associated with it. This can be done through the hierarchy maintenance transactions.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
