• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRTS_CDS014 - Identifier &1 (on position &2 of select list) is not a key figure ?

  The SAP error message RSRTS_CDS014 indicates that there is an issue with a key figure in a query that is being executed in the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) environment. Specifically, the error message states that the identifier specified (represented by &1) at the given position (&2) in the select list is not recognized as a key figure.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Identifier: The identifier specified in the query is not defined as a key figure in the underlying data model (e.g., InfoProvider, CompositeProvider, or CDS view).
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model, such as the removal or renaming of key figures, the query may still reference the old identifiers.
  Query Design Issues: The query may have been designed incorrectly, where a non-key figure is mistakenly included in the key figure selection.
  Data Source Issues: The data source used in the query may not be properly configured or may not contain the expected key figures.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Query Definition:
  
  Open the query in the Query Designer and verify that the identifier specified in the error message is indeed defined as a key figure in the data model.
  Ensure that the key figure is correctly included in the select list of the query.
  
  
  
  Review Data Model:
  
  Go to the underlying data model (e.g., InfoProvider, CompositeProvider, or CDS view) and check if the key figure exists and is correctly defined.
  If the key figure has been renamed or removed, update the query accordingly.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the Query:
  
  If the query is complex, consider rebuilding it step by step to ensure that all key figures are correctly defined and included.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Source Issues:
  
  Ensure that the data source used in the query is active and properly configured.
  If the data source has been changed, make sure that the query is updated to reflect these changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Query:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the query to ensure that it runs without errors.
