• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDTM209 - No key figure attribute selected (IS: "&1") ?

  The SAP error message RSDTM209, which states "No key figure attribute selected (IS: "&1")", typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with InfoObjects, particularly when defining or modifying key figures in a data model.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Missing Key Figure Attributes: The key figure you are trying to work with does not have any attributes defined. Key figures need to be associated with at least one attribute to be valid.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an issue with the configuration of the InfoObject or the data model where the key figure is being used. This could include missing or incorrectly defined relationships between key figures and their attributes.
  
  
  Data Model Issues: If you are working with a composite provider or a calculation view, the underlying data model may not be set up correctly, leading to this error.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the InfoObject was transported from one system to another, there might be inconsistencies in the transport that could lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDTM209 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Attributes:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSD1) and check the key figure in question.
  Ensure that the key figure has at least one attribute defined. If not, you will need to add the necessary attributes.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration of the InfoObject and ensure that all necessary settings are correctly defined.
  Check the relationships between key figures and attributes to ensure they are properly linked.
  
  
  
  Data Model Validation:
  
  If you are using a composite provider or calculation view, validate the underlying data model to ensure that all components are correctly defined and linked.
  Check for any inconsistencies or errors in the data model that could be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the InfoObject was recently transported, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate issues with the transport.
  If necessary, re-transport the InfoObject or manually correct any discrepancies.
  
  
  
  Rebuild or Refresh:
  
  In some cases, rebuilding the InfoProvider or refreshing the data model can help resolve the issue. This can be done through the relevant transaction codes in SAP BW.
