• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDRD118 - InfoCube & is transactional and is set to 'planning mode' ?

  The SAP error message RSDRD118 typically indicates an issue related to an InfoCube that is set to "planning mode" but is being treated as a transactional InfoCube. This can occur in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when there is a mismatch in the expected behavior of the InfoCube.
  Cause:
  
  InfoCube Configuration: The InfoCube is configured for planning, which means it is designed to handle planning data rather than transactional data. If you attempt to perform operations that are meant for transactional InfoCubes, this error may arise.
  Data Loading Issues: If data is being loaded into the InfoCube in a way that is not compatible with its planning mode, it can trigger this error.
  Query Execution: Running queries that expect transactional data from a planning-enabled InfoCube can lead to this error message.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check InfoCube Settings: Verify the settings of the InfoCube in the Data Warehousing Workbench (RSA1). Ensure that it is correctly configured for planning if that is the intended use.
  Adjust Queries: If you are running queries against the InfoCube, ensure that they are designed to work with planning data. Modify the queries to align with the planning capabilities of the InfoCube.
  Data Loading: Ensure that the data being loaded into the InfoCube is appropriate for its planning mode. If necessary, adjust the data loading process to comply with the planning structure.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to planning InfoCubes to ensure that you are following best practices for configuration and usage.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Planning Mode: In SAP BW, planning mode allows users to perform planning activities, such as budgeting and forecasting, using the InfoCube. This mode has specific requirements and behaviors that differ from standard transactional InfoCubes.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on working with planning InfoCubes.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with an SAP BW expert or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
