• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPLS520 - &1 has data type &2. For large numbers, use 'high precision' for queries. ?

  The SAP error message RSPLS520 typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when dealing with queries that involve large numeric values. This error indicates that the data type of a certain field in your query is not suitable for handling large numbers, and it suggests using 'high precision' for queries that involve such values.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Limitation: The error arises because the data type of the field being queried cannot accommodate large numeric values. Standard numeric types may have limitations on the range of values they can represent.
  Query Design: The query may be designed in a way that does not account for high precision requirements, especially when aggregating or calculating large sums or averages.
  Data Source Configuration: The underlying data source (e.g., InfoProvider, DSO, etc.) may not be configured to handle high precision data types.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use High Precision: Modify the query to use 'high precision' for the relevant fields. This can typically be done in the query designer:
  
  Open the query in the Query Designer.
  Locate the fields that are causing the issue.
  Change the data type to 'high precision' for those fields.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Source: If the data source is not configured to support high precision, consider adjusting the data types in the underlying InfoObjects or data source settings to ensure they can handle larger values.
  
  
  Check Aggregation Settings: Review the aggregation settings in the query. Ensure that any calculations or aggregations are set to use high precision where necessary.
  
  
  Testing: After making the changes, test the query to ensure that it runs without errors and returns the expected results.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates related to this error message.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP BW documentation for best practices on handling large numeric values and configuring high precision data types.
  Performance Considerations: Be aware that using high precision can have performance implications, so it’s important to balance precision with performance needs.
