RSO_RES_QMSGS253 - Details

• The SAP error message RSO_RES_QMSGS253 indicates that a query cannot be used in formula mode because there are existing local formulas defined in the query. This typically occurs in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when you are trying to use a query that has local formulas, which are not compatible with the formula mode you are attempting to use.
  
  Cause:

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check for Local Formulas:
  
  Open the query in the Query Designer.
