• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO007 - InfoObject &1: InfoObject &2 is included again in the compounding ?

  The SAP error message RSO007 indicates that there is a problem with the compounding of InfoObjects in a query or data model. Specifically, it means that an InfoObject is being compounded with itself, which is not allowed. Compounding in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) allows you to create a hierarchy of characteristics, but each characteristic can only be compounded with other characteristics, not with itself.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  An InfoObject (let's say InfoObject &1) is compounded with another InfoObject (InfoObject &2), and it turns out that InfoObject &2 is also included in the compounding of InfoObject &1.
  This creates a circular reference or self-reference, which is not permissible in the SAP BW environment.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Compounding Settings:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSD1).
  Look for the InfoObject that is causing the issue (InfoObject &1).
  Check the compounding settings to see if InfoObject &2 is included in the compounding list of InfoObject &1.
  
  
  
  Remove the Circular Reference:
  
  If you find that InfoObject &2 is indeed compounded with InfoObject &1, you need to remove it from the compounding list of InfoObject &1 or vice versa.
  Ensure that each InfoObject is only compounded with other distinct InfoObjects.
  
  
  
  Validate Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save the InfoObject and validate the settings.
  You can also check for any other InfoObjects that might have similar compounding issues.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the InfoObject:
  
  If you made changes to the InfoObject, you may need to re-activate it to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Test the Query or Data Model:
  
  After resolving the issue, test the query or data model that was causing the error to ensure that it now works correctly without any errors.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Compounding: In SAP BW, compounding allows you to create a hierarchy of characteristics, which can help in organizing data and improving query performance.
  InfoObjects: These are the building blocks of the data model in SAP BW, representing characteristics (dimensions) and key figures (measures).
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like RSD1 (InfoObject maintenance) and RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) for managing InfoObjects and data models.
