• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPLS_CR090 - Characteristic &1 is not contained in the key part ?

  The SAP error message RSPLS_CR090 indicates that a characteristic specified in a query or report is not included in the key part of the InfoProvider (such as an InfoCube or a DataStore Object). This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with queries in BEx (Business Explorer) or when designing reports.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Characteristic in Key Part: The characteristic mentioned in the error message (&1) is not part of the key figures or key attributes defined for the InfoProvider. In BW, the key part is essential for identifying records uniquely.
  Query Design Issues: The query may have been designed incorrectly, where a characteristic is included in the query but not in the underlying data model.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the InfoProvider (like adding or removing characteristics), the query may not have been updated accordingly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoProvider Structure:
  
  Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) and check the structure of the InfoProvider (InfoCube or DSO) to ensure that the characteristic is included in the key part.
  If the characteristic is not part of the key, consider whether it should be added or if the query needs to be modified.
  
  
  
  Modify the Query:
  
  Open the query in the BEx Query Designer and check the characteristics used in the query.
  Remove the characteristic that is causing the error if it is not necessary for the analysis.
  If the characteristic is needed, you may need to adjust the InfoProvider to include it in the key part.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the Query:
  
  If the query is complex, consider rebuilding it from scratch to ensure that all characteristics are correctly aligned with the InfoProvider.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If changes were made in a development environment, ensure that they are transported correctly to the production environment.
  
  
  
  Check for Updates:
  
  Ensure that you are using the latest version of SAP BW and that all relevant notes and patches have been applied.
