• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRB1031 - -- Characteristic &3: Characteristic &1 is filtered by value &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSRB1031 indicates that a characteristic in a query is being filtered by a specific value, which is causing issues with the data retrieval or processing. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when working with queries in BEx (Business Explorer) Analyzer or similar tools.
  Cause:
  The error message RSRB1031 is triggered when:
  
  A characteristic (e.g., a dimension in a query) is being filtered by a specific value that is not compatible with the data being processed.
  The filter applied to the characteristic is too restrictive, leading to no data being returned for the query.
  There may be a mismatch between the values in the characteristic and the data available in the InfoProvider (e.g., InfoCube, DataStore Object).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSRB1031 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Query Filters:

  If the filter value is too restrictive, consider modifying or removing the filter to allow for a broader range of data to be retrieved.
  You can also check if the characteristic has any default values set that might be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Validate Data in the InfoProvider:
  
  Check the data in the InfoProvider to ensure that the values for the characteristic are present and correctly populated.

  Check for Authorizations:
