• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRD662 - Value set &1 for characteristic &2 was precalculated ?

  The SAP error message RSRD662 indicates that a value set for a characteristic has already been precalculated, which means that the system has already computed the values for that characteristic in the context of a query or report. This can occur in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) environments when working with queries that involve characteristics and their associated value sets.
  Cause:
  
  Precalculation: The value set for the specified characteristic has been precalculated, which means that the system has already generated the data for that characteristic based on the query definition.
  Query Design: The query might be designed in such a way that it expects to recalculate the value set, but the precalculated data is preventing this from happening.
  Data Changes: If the underlying data has changed after the value set was precalculated, the system may not allow recalculation until the precalculated data is cleared or refreshed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Refresh the Data: If the underlying data has changed, you may need to refresh the precalculated data. This can typically be done by executing the query again or by using the appropriate transaction to refresh the data in the InfoProvider.
  Clear Precalculated Data: If you want to recalculate the value set, you may need to clear the precalculated data. This can often be done through the query designer or by using specific administrative transactions in SAP BW.
  Check Query Settings: Review the settings of the query to ensure that it is configured correctly. Make sure that the characteristics and value sets are set up as intended.
  Use Transaction RSRV: You can use transaction RSRV to check for inconsistencies in the query or the data model that might be causing the issue.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to the specific version of SAP BW or BI you are using for more detailed troubleshooting steps.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  Query Designer: Familiarize yourself with the Query Designer tool in SAP BW to understand how to manage characteristics and value sets.
  Performance Considerations: Precalculation is often used to improve performance, so consider the implications of clearing or refreshing precalculated data on system performance.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform actions related to precalculated data.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or BW team for further assistance.
