• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDHA441 - Time-dependent InfoObject '&1' not supported as source ?

  The SAP error message RSDHA441 indicates that a time-dependent InfoObject is being used in a context where it is not supported as a source. This typically occurs in scenarios involving data modeling or reporting where the system expects a time-independent InfoObject.
  Cause:
  
  Time-Dependent InfoObject: The InfoObject in question is defined as time-dependent, meaning it has attributes or characteristics that change over time (e.g., valid from/to dates).
  Incompatible Context: The context in which you are trying to use this InfoObject does not support time-dependent characteristics. For example, certain queries, transformations, or data sources may only accept time-independent InfoObjects.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check InfoObject Definition: Review the definition of the InfoObject in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1). Ensure that it is indeed set as time-dependent and understand its intended use.
  Use Time-Independent InfoObject: If the context requires a time-independent InfoObject, consider using a different InfoObject that is defined as time-independent.
  Modify Query/Transformation: If you are working with a query or transformation, check if you can modify it to accommodate the time-dependent InfoObject or replace it with a suitable alternative.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on using time-dependent InfoObjects in your scenario.
  
  Related Information:
