• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDRCRM_SEG208 - Node &1: Filter of attribute &2 can only be used with OR ?

  The SAP error message RSDRCRM_SEG208 typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP CRM (Customer Relationship Management) when working with queries or data models that involve filters on attributes. The error message indicates that there is an issue with the way filters are applied to the attributes in a query or data model.
  Cause:
  The specific cause of the error message "Node &1: Filter of attribute &2 can only be used with OR" is usually related to the logical operator used in the filter conditions for a particular attribute. In SAP BW, certain attributes can only be filtered using the OR operator, meaning that you cannot combine multiple filter conditions for that attribute using the AND operator. This restriction is often due to the way the underlying data model is structured or how the attributes are defined.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Query or Data Model: Check the query or data model where the error is occurring. Identify the node (dimension or characteristic) and the attribute mentioned in the error message.
  
  
  Modify the Filter Logic: If you are using multiple filter conditions for the specified attribute, change the logical operator from AND to OR. This means that instead of filtering for multiple conditions that must all be true, you should set it up so that at least one of the conditions must be true.
  
  
  Check Attribute Settings: Review the settings of the attribute in the data model. Ensure that the attribute is defined correctly and that it is compatible with the intended filter logic.
  
  
  Test the Query: After making the necessary changes, test the query or data model again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the specific attributes and their filtering capabilities, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly configure filters for the attributes in question.
