• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM131 - Cannot generate request & (yet) ?

  The SAP error message RSM131, which states "Cannot generate request & (yet)," typically occurs in the context of the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system when there is an issue with the data extraction or data loading process. This error can arise for several reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding a solution.
  Causes:
  
  Data Locking: The request may be locked by another process or user, preventing the generation of the request.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data that prevent the request from being generated.
  Request Status: The request might be in a status that does not allow for further processing (e.g., it might be in a "failed" state).
  Data Source Issues: Problems with the data source, such as missing or incorrect data, can lead to this error.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to generate the request.
  System Performance: High system load or performance issues can also lead to delays in request generation.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the request. If a lock is found, you may need to wait for the other process to complete or manually unlock it if appropriate.
  Review Request Status: Check the status of the request in the InfoProvider. If it is in a failed state, you may need to delete or correct it before trying to generate a new request.
  Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the data source to ensure that there are no issues with the data being extracted.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the action. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  Monitor System Performance: If the system is under heavy load, consider scheduling the request for a time when the system is less busy.
  Reprocess the Request: If the request has failed, you may need to reprocess it. This can often be done through the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1).
  
  Related Information:
