This error typically arises during data loading or when performing data consistency checks. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  Invalid Dimension Keys: The error occurs when the data being loaded contains dimension keys that do not exist in the corresponding dimension tables. This can happen due to:
  
  Data inconsistencies in the source system.
  Changes in the master data that have not been reflected in the InfoCube or DSO.
  Incorrect mappings or transformations during the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process.
  
  
  
  Master Data Issues: If the master data for the dimensions is not properly maintained or if there are missing entries, it can lead to invalid keys.
  
  
  Data Load Errors: If there were issues during the data load process, such as failed records or incorrect data formats, this can also result in invalid dimension keys.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Master Data: Verify that all dimension keys in the fact records exist in the corresponding master data tables. You can do this by:
  
  Running a query to check for missing master data entries.
  Using transaction codes like RSD1 to check the InfoObject definitions and RSD5 to check the master data.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Use transaction RSRV to run a consistency check on the InfoCube or DSO. This will help identify the specific records that are causing the issue.
  
  
  Data Correction: If you find invalid keys, you may need to:
  
  Correct the source data to ensure that it aligns with the master data.
  Reload the data after making the necessary corrections.
  
  
  
  Reprocess Data: After correcting the issues, you may need to reprocess the data load. This can involve:
  
  Deleting the erroneous records from the InfoCube or DSO.
  Reloading the data from the source system.
  
  
  
  Check Transformation Rules: Review the transformation rules in your data flow to ensure that they are correctly mapping the source data to the target InfoObjects.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
