• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPP062 - No restrictions allowed on &1(&2) because of existing cha-const def. ?

  The SAP error message RSPP062 indicates that there are restrictions that cannot be applied to a characteristic (denoted as &1) in a particular InfoObject (denoted as &2) due to the existence of a characteristic constant definition. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when working with InfoObjects and their attributes.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to set restrictions on a characteristic that already has a characteristic constant defined. Characteristic constants are used to define fixed values for characteristics, and when they are in place, the system does not allow additional restrictions to be applied to that characteristic.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Characteristic Constants: Review the characteristic constants defined for the characteristic in question. You can do this by navigating to the relevant InfoObject in the SAP BW modeling tools.
  
  
  Remove or Modify Characteristic Constants: If the characteristic constants are not needed, consider removing them. If they are necessary, you may need to adjust your approach to restrictions. 
  
  
  Adjust Restrictions: If you need to keep the characteristic constants, you may need to rethink how you are applying restrictions. Instead of applying restrictions directly to the characteristic, consider using other methods such as filters or different modeling techniques.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on working with characteristic constants and restrictions.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the InfoObject to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the desired functionality is achieved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP BW/BI Documentation: Look for specific documentation related to InfoObjects, characteristic constants, and restrictions in SAP BW/BI.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSPP062 error and continue with your SAP BW/BI modeling tasks.
