How To Fix RSDODSO158 - Referenced key figure &1 is not appropriate in DS (no BEx Reporting)

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSDODSO - Messages for ODS Objects

• Message number: 158

• Message text: Referenced key figure &1 is not appropriate in DS (no BEx Reporting)

What causes this issue?

You are using the &V1& referenced key figure in the &V2& DataStore
object. The DataStore object &V2& is not permitted for BEx reporting.

System Response

The key figure &V1& is not kept on the database. It is only filled for
the query runtime using the OLAP process from the
<DS:DE.RSDCHABASNM>reference key figure</>. Subsequently, the OLAP
processor calculates differently with this key figure than with the
reference key figure (for example, the &V1& referenced key figure can
have another aggregation as its referenced key figure).
Since no BEx queries can be defined for the DataStore object &V2&, it
does not make sense to include the referenced key figure &V1&.

How to fix this error?

Activate BEx reporting for the DataStore object &V2&, or remove the
referenced key figure &V1 from the DataStore object.
