• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPLS_CR037 - InfoProvider '&1' is not writeable; input not possible ?

  The SAP error message RSPLS_CR037 indicates that the specified InfoProvider (in this case, represented by &1) is not writable, which means that you cannot input data into it. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when trying to perform data input operations, such as planning or data entry, on an InfoProvider that is not configured to allow such actions.
  Causes:
  
  InfoProvider Configuration: The InfoProvider may not be set up to allow write operations. This can happen if it is a standard InfoCube or a MultiProvider that is not configured for write access.
  Data Model: The InfoProvider might be part of a data model that is designed only for reporting and not for data entry.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to write to the InfoProvider.
  Data Locking: The InfoProvider might be locked for data entry due to ongoing processes or maintenance activities.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check InfoProvider Settings:
  
  Go to the InfoProvider settings in the SAP BW system and verify if it is configured for write access. If it is a standard InfoCube, ensure that it is set up for planning or data entry.
  If it is a MultiProvider, check the underlying InfoProviders to ensure at least one of them is writable.
  
  
  
  Review Data Model:
  
  Ensure that the InfoProvider is intended for data input. If it is primarily for reporting, consider using a different InfoProvider that supports write operations.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Check the user roles and authorizations to ensure that the user attempting to write data has the necessary permissions to do so. This can be done through transaction codes like PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Data Locking:
  
  Investigate if there are any ongoing processes that might be locking the InfoProvider. You can check for active processes in the system and resolve any locks that may be preventing data entry.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP BW administrator for specific configurations related to the InfoProvider in question.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
