• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRTS_CDS214 - Entry &1: Fixed unit &2 ignored (only supported for formulas) ?

  The SAP error message RSRTS_CDS214 typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when working with queries that involve Composite Data Sources (CDS) or when using certain types of formulas in your queries. The message indicates that a fixed unit (like a currency or unit of measure) is being ignored because it is not supported in the context of the query you are trying to execute.
  Cause:
  
  Unsupported Fixed Unit: The error arises when a fixed unit is defined in a query or formula that does not support it. Fixed units are typically used in calculations or aggregations, and if the context does not allow for them, the system will ignore them.
  Formula Context: The error may also occur if the fixed unit is being used in a context where only certain types of formulas are allowed, such as in calculated key figures or restricted key figures.
  Data Source Limitations: The underlying data source may not support fixed units, or the query may be incorrectly configured.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Query Design: Check the design of your query to ensure that fixed units are being used appropriately. If you are using a fixed unit in a calculated key figure, ensure that it is supported in that context.
  Adjust Formulas: If you are using formulas, consider modifying them to avoid the use of fixed units or to ensure that they are compatible with the data source and query context.
  Check Data Source: Verify that the data source you are using supports fixed units. If it does not, you may need to change the data source or adjust your query accordingly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on using fixed units in queries and formulas. This can provide insights into what is supported and what is not.
  Testing: After making adjustments, test the query again to see if the error persists. If it does, further investigation into the specific components of the query may be necessary.
  
  Related Information:
