• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSSEM060 - InfoObject &1 is not type-compatible with field &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSSEM060 indicates that there is a type compatibility issue between an InfoObject and a field in a data structure or a query. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when you are trying to use an InfoObject in a way that is not compatible with its defined data type.
  Cause:
  The error can arise due to several reasons:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The InfoObject you are trying to use has a different data type than the field you are trying to map it to. For example, if the InfoObject is defined as a character type and you are trying to map it to a numeric field, this error will occur.
  Inconsistent Metadata: Changes in the InfoObject or the underlying data model may lead to inconsistencies. If the InfoObject's definition has been altered (e.g., changing its data type) but the related queries or data flows have not been updated accordingly, this error can occur.
  Incorrect Field Mapping: When creating or modifying queries, if the fields are not correctly mapped to the InfoObjects, this error can be triggered.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSSEM060 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Types: Verify the data types of the InfoObject and the field you are trying to use. Ensure that they are compatible. You can do this by checking the InfoObject's properties in the SAP BW modeling tools.
  
  
  Update Queries and Data Flows: If there have been changes to the InfoObject, ensure that all related queries, data flows, and transformations are updated to reflect these changes. This may involve re-mapping fields or adjusting the data model.
  
  
  Recreate the Query: If the issue persists, consider recreating the query or the data flow from scratch to ensure that all mappings are correct and that there are no residual issues from previous configurations.
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues: If the InfoObject was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), ensure that all related objects were transported correctly and that there are no discrepancies.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific InfoObject and its usage to ensure that you are following best practices.
  
  
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can trace the execution to identify where the type mismatch is occurring.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific InfoObject or the error message.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  Training and Documentation: Consider reviewing training materials or documentation on InfoObject management and query design in SAP BW/BI to better understand how to avoid such issues in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the cause of the RSSEM060 error in your SAP environment.
