• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSFBP303 - Field &1: InfoObject &2 has to be compound to &3 ?

  The SAP error message RSFBP303 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of InfoObjects in a query or report, specifically regarding the use of compound characteristics. This error typically arises when a characteristic (InfoObject) is expected to be used in conjunction with another characteristic but is not properly set up as a compound characteristic.
  Cause:
  The error message RSFBP303 is triggered when:
  
  An InfoObject (let's call it &2) is expected to be used as a compound characteristic with another InfoObject (let's call it &3), but it is not configured as such in the system.
  The query or report is trying to use the InfoObject in a way that requires it to be compounded with another InfoObject, but the necessary configuration is missing.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Configuration:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1).
  Locate the InfoObject &2 and check its settings.
  Ensure that it is defined as a compound characteristic with the appropriate InfoObject &3.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Compound Characteristics:
  
  If the InfoObject is not compounded, you may need to create a compound characteristic.
  In the InfoObject maintenance, you can define the compound characteristic by selecting the appropriate InfoObjects that should be combined.
  
  
  
  Adjust Queries or Reports:
  
  If you are using a query or report that references these InfoObjects, ensure that the query is correctly set up to use the compound characteristic.
  Modify the query to use the compound characteristic instead of the individual InfoObjects if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or settings that might be affecting the use of these InfoObjects in your query or report.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the query or report to ensure that the error is resolved.
