• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDODSO111 - Key figure &1 is not permitted in key for DataStore object &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSDODSO111 indicates that a specific key figure is not permitted in the key for a DataStore Object (DSO). This error typically arises when there is an attempt to use a key figure in a way that is not allowed by the configuration of the DSO.
  Cause:
  
  Key Figure Configuration: The key figure in question is likely not defined as a key field in the DSO. In SAP BW, a DSO can have specific key fields, and key figures are generally not included in the key fields.
  Data Model Design: The data model may have been designed incorrectly, where a key figure is mistakenly included in the key definition of the DSO.
  Incompatible Data Types: The key figure may have a data type that is incompatible with the key fields of the DSO.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DSO Configuration:
  
  Go to the DataStore Object in the SAP BW system.
  Check the key fields defined for the DSO. Ensure that only the appropriate characteristics (dimensions) are included as key fields.
  Key figures should not be included in the key fields of the DSO.
  
  
  
  Modify the Data Model:
  
  If the key figure is incorrectly included, you may need to modify the DSO structure. Remove the key figure from the key definition.
  If necessary, create a new DSO or adjust the existing one to align with the intended data model.
  
  
  
  Data Load Process:
  
  Review the data load process (e.g., InfoPackage, transformation) to ensure that it is not trying to load data in a way that conflicts with the DSO's key configuration.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the data load process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  DataStore Object (DSO): A DSO is a type of data storage in SAP BW that allows for the storage of detailed transactional data. It is used for reporting and analysis.
  Key Fields vs. Key Figures: Key fields are typically characteristics that uniquely identify records in a DSO, while key figures are numerical values that represent measurable quantities (e.g., sales amount, quantity sold).
  SAP BW Documentation: For more detailed information, refer to the SAP BW documentation or the SAP Help Portal, which provides guidelines on configuring DSOs and understanding data modeling concepts.
