• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM424 - Only duplicated key figures can be deleted here ?

  The SAP error message RSM424 ("Only duplicated key figures can be deleted here") typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when you are trying to delete a key figure from a query or a data model that is not allowed to be removed. This error indicates that the key figure you are attempting to delete is not a duplicated key figure, which means it is likely a primary key figure that cannot be removed in the current context.
  Cause:
  
  Key Figure Type: The key figure you are trying to delete is not a duplicated key figure. In SAP BW, key figures can be defined as either "duplicated" or "non-duplicated." Only duplicated key figures can be removed from a query or data model.
  Query Design: The query or data model may have dependencies or relationships that prevent the deletion of certain key figures.
  Data Model Constraints: The data model may have constraints that enforce the presence of certain key figures for data integrity or reporting purposes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Key Figure Type: Verify if the key figure you are trying to delete is indeed a duplicated key figure. You can do this by checking the properties of the key figure in the query designer or data model.
  Modify Query: If you need to remove a non-duplicated key figure, consider modifying the query or data model to accommodate your requirements without deleting the key figure.
  Use Duplicated Key Figures: If you need to delete a key figure, ensure that you are working with a duplicated key figure. You may need to create a duplicated version of the key figure if one does not exist.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on managing key figures in queries and data models.
  Check Dependencies: Review any dependencies or relationships that may be preventing the deletion of the key figure. You may need to adjust these dependencies before proceeding with the deletion.
