How To Fix RSPLS_CR012 - No combinations could be generated

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSPLS_CR - Messages on Characteristic Relationships/Data Slices

• Message number: 012

• Message text: No combinations could be generated

What causes this issue?

The query is parameterized so that aggregation level combinations are
created for all characteristics according to how the characteristic
relationships are maintained. Combinations were generated in individual
steps but this did not lead to any valid combinations.

System Response

Manual planning is not possible because valid combinations could not be
created within the selection.

How to fix this error?

Check the characteristic values that are used in the query filter. If
you use different characteristic values, the system can create
combinations where required.
If valid combinations are required for the current query filter, you
need to correct the settings in characteristic relationship maintenance
in the context of the current InfoCube &V1&'. Contact your system
administrator.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPLS_CR012 - No combinations could be generated ?

  The SAP error message RSPLS_CR012, which states "No combinations could be generated," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with planning functions or when trying to generate combinations for planning scenarios. This error indicates that the system was unable to create the necessary combinations of characteristics for a planning function or a planning sequence.
  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Master Data: The characteristics involved in the planning function may not have the necessary master data. If there are no valid combinations of characteristic values, the system cannot generate combinations.
  
  
  Incorrect Planning Function Configuration: The planning function may not be correctly configured, leading to an inability to generate combinations. This could be due to incorrect settings in the planning function or the planning sequence.
  
  
  Filters Applied: If there are filters applied to the planning function that restrict the data too much, it may result in no valid combinations being available.
  
  
  Data Source Issues: The data source from which the planning function is trying to pull data may not have the required data or may be incorrectly set up.
  
  
  Characteristic Values Not Assigned: If the characteristic values required for the planning function are not assigned or are inactive, this can lead to the error.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Master Data: Ensure that the necessary master data for the characteristics involved in the planning function is available and active. You can do this by checking the relevant InfoObjects in the SAP BW system.
  
  
  Review Planning Function Configuration: Go through the configuration of the planning function and ensure that all settings are correct. Make sure that the characteristics and key figures are properly defined.
  
  
  Adjust Filters: If filters are applied, consider adjusting them to allow for a broader range of data. This may help in generating valid combinations.
  
  
  Validate Data Source: Check the data source for the planning function to ensure it is correctly set up and contains the necessary data.
  
  
  Check Characteristic Values: Verify that the characteristic values required for the planning function are assigned and active. If any values are missing or inactive, update them accordingly.
  
  
  Test with Different Scenarios: If possible, test the planning function with different scenarios or datasets to see if the issue persists.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to check master data and InfoObjects.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on planning functions and their configuration.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP BW administrator or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
