• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSOBI_MF155 - InfoObject &3 included as display attribute ?

  The SAP error message RSOBI_MF155 indicates that an InfoObject (denoted as &3 in the message) is included as a display attribute in a query or report, but it is not allowed to be used in that context. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when working with queries in BEx (Business Explorer).
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Display Attribute Misconfiguration: The InfoObject is configured as a display attribute in the InfoObject catalog, but it is being used in a way that is not compatible with its configuration.
  Query Design Issues: The query might be designed to use the InfoObject in a manner that is not supported, such as trying to aggregate or filter on a display attribute.
  Data Model Constraints: The InfoObject may not be suitable for the context in which it is being used, such as being part of a characteristic structure that does not allow display attributes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSOBI_MF155 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Configuration:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1) and check the configuration of the InfoObject in question.
  Ensure that it is correctly set up as a display attribute and that it is not being used in a way that violates its intended use.
  
  
  
  Review Query Design:
  
  Open the query in the BEx Query Designer.
  Check how the InfoObject is being used in the query. If it is being used in a way that is not allowed (e.g., in a filter or aggregation), consider removing it from those contexts.
  If necessary, replace the display attribute with a key figure or a characteristic that is appropriate for the query context.
  
  
  
  Modify the Query:
  
  If the display attribute is not essential for the query, consider removing it from the query layout or from the selection criteria.
  If it is necessary, consider redesigning the query to accommodate the limitations of display attributes.
  
  
  
  Test the Query:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the query to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the desired results are returned.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Display Attributes: In SAP BW, display attributes are used to provide additional descriptive information about a characteristic without being part of the key figures or the main data model. They are typically used for display purposes only.
  BEx Query Designer: This is the tool used to create and modify queries in SAP BW. Understanding how to use this tool effectively can help prevent and resolve issues related to query design.
  SAP Notes and Documentation: If the issue persists, consider checking SAP Notes or the official SAP documentation for any updates or specific guidance related to the error message RSOBI_MF155.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
