• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1306 - InfoObject &1 is not a basis characteristic; not used as data target ?

  The SAP error message RSM1306 indicates that the InfoObject you are trying to use is not a basis characteristic and is not being utilized as a data target in the context of your operation. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with InfoObjects, data targets, or during data extraction processes.
  Cause:
  
  InfoObject Type: The InfoObject you are trying to use is not defined as a characteristic that can be used in the context of the operation you are performing. Basis characteristics are typically those that can be used for data modeling and reporting.
  Data Target Configuration: The InfoObject may not be configured correctly in the data target (e.g., InfoCube, DataStore Object) you are working with.
  Incorrect Usage: You might be trying to use an InfoObject in a context where it is not applicable, such as in a query or transformation that requires a basis characteristic.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Definition: Verify the definition of the InfoObject in the SAP BW system. Ensure that it is defined as a characteristic and is marked as a basis characteristic if it is intended to be used in that way.
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1) and check the properties of the InfoObject.
  
  
  
  Review Data Target Configuration: Ensure that the InfoObject is included in the data target (InfoCube, DSO, etc.) you are working with. If it is not included, you may need to add it to the data model.
  
  Check the structure of the InfoCube or DSO to confirm that the InfoObject is part of it.
  
  
  
  Adjust Queries or Transformations: If you are using the InfoObject in a query or transformation, ensure that it is appropriate for the context. You may need to replace it with a valid basis characteristic.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for more information on the specific InfoObject and its intended use.
  
  
  Transport Requests: If changes were made to the InfoObject or data target, ensure that they are properly transported to the relevant environment (e.g., from development to production).
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  InfoObjects: In SAP BW, InfoObjects are the building blocks of the data model. They can be characteristics (dimensions) or key figures (measures).
  Data Targets: Data targets are structures where data is stored, such as InfoCubes, DataStore Objects (DSOs), and MultiProviders.
  SAP BW Modeling: Understanding the modeling concepts in SAP BW is crucial for effective data management and reporting.
