• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPLPPM149 - Selection for &1 not valid; check selection ?

  The SAP error message RSPLPPM149 typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an issue with the selection criteria used in a query or report. This error indicates that the selection for a particular characteristic or key figure is not valid, and it prompts the user to check the selection criteria.
  Cause:
  
  
  Invalid Selection Criteria: The selection criteria specified in the query may not match any existing data in the InfoProvider. This can happen if:
  
  The characteristic values specified do not exist in the data.
  The selection is based on a characteristic that is not included in the query.
  The selection is based on a key figure that is not relevant for the query context.
  
  
  
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model (e.g., changes in InfoObjects, InfoProviders, or transformations), it may lead to inconsistencies in the selections.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access certain data, leading to invalid selections.
  
  
  Incorrect Query Design: The query may be incorrectly designed, leading to selections that do not make sense in the context of the data model.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Review the selection criteria used in the query. Ensure that the values specified are valid and exist in the underlying data.
  
  
  Validate Query Design: Open the query in the Query Designer and check the structure. Ensure that all necessary characteristics and key figures are included and that the selections are logically consistent.
  
  
  Data Consistency: If there have been changes to the data model, ensure that the data is consistent and that the InfoProvider is updated. You may need to run data loads or check for errors in the data loading process.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the data. This can be done by checking the user roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
