  The SAP error message RSRV140 typically indicates an inconsistency in the data model of your SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system. This error occurs when a characteristic or key figure (referred to as ROOTSID) is associated with a different InfoObject than expected. The message format suggests that the system is trying to reference a characteristic or key figure that does not match the expected InfoObject.
