• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSEC031 - The InfoObject &1 does not exist in the system (will be deleted) ?

  The SAP error message RSEC031 indicates that an InfoObject (typically a characteristic or key figure) referenced in your system does not exist. This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) environments, particularly when dealing with authorizations or data modeling.
  Cause:
  
  Deleted InfoObject: The InfoObject may have been deleted from the system, but references to it still exist in other objects (like queries, reports, or authorizations).
  Transport Issues: If the InfoObject was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), it may not have been included in the transport request.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be incorrect configurations or settings in the InfoObject or related objects.
  Versioning Issues: If you are working with different versions of the InfoObject, it may lead to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existence: Verify if the InfoObject actually exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the InfoObject catalog in the SAP BW system.
  
  Use transaction code RSA1 to access the Data Warehousing Workbench and check the InfoObjects.
  
  
  
  Remove References: If the InfoObject is indeed deleted and you do not need it, you should remove any references to it in queries, reports, or authorization objects.
  
  Check for any queries or reports that might be using this InfoObject and update or delete them as necessary.
  
  
  
  Recreate the InfoObject: If the InfoObject is required, you may need to recreate it. Ensure that it is properly configured and activated.
  
  
  Transport Check: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that the InfoObject was included in the transport request. If it was not, you may need to create a new transport request that includes the missing InfoObject.
  
  
  Authorization Check: If the error is related to authorizations, ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to access the InfoObject.
  
  
  System Consistency Check: Run consistency checks in the BW system to identify and resolve any inconsistencies that may be causing the error.
