RSDMDM018 - Details

• The SAP error message RSDMDM018, which states "Only key restrictions are being evaluated," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with queries or data models. This message indicates that the system is only considering key fields for filtering or evaluation, and other non-key fields are not being processed in the same way.

Non-key fields may not be included in the evaluation due to the way the query is structured or the settings in the InfoProvider.
  Query Design: If the query is designed to filter or restrict data based solely on key fields, any additional filters or conditions applied to non-key fields will not be considered.
  Data Model Configuration: The configuration of the InfoObject or InfoProvider may restrict the evaluation
