• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPLF117 - InfoObject &1 invalid; only characteristics for conditions are permitted ?

  The SAP error message RSPLF117 indicates that an InfoObject being used in a condition is invalid because it is not a characteristic. In SAP BW (Business Warehouse), conditions can only be defined using characteristics, not key figures or other types of InfoObjects.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises in the following scenarios:
  
  Incorrect InfoObject Type: You are trying to use a key figure or another non-characteristic InfoObject in a condition where only characteristics are allowed.
  Modeling Error: There may be a mistake in the way the InfoObjects are modeled or used in the query or report.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSPLF117 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Type:
  
  Verify the type of the InfoObject you are trying to use in the condition. Ensure that it is a characteristic (e.g., a dimension like Customer, Product, etc.) and not a key figure (e.g., Sales Amount, Quantity, etc.).
  
  
  
  Modify the Condition:
  
  If you have mistakenly included a key figure or non-characteristic InfoObject in the condition, remove it and replace it with a valid characteristic.
  
  
  
  Review Query Design:
  
  Open the query in the Query Designer and check the conditions applied. Ensure that all conditions are based on valid characteristics.
  
  
  
  Test the Query:
  
  After making the necessary changes, execute the query again to ensure that the error is resolved.
