• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MCPSH_SEL061 - &2 selection(s) were converted for InfoCube '&1' ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MCPSH_SEL061 typically indicates that there is an issue with the selection criteria used in a query or report related to an InfoCube in SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO). The message states that the selection(s) were converted, which usually means that the system had to adjust or modify the selection criteria to fit the structure or requirements of the InfoCube.
  Cause:
  
  Incompatible Selection Criteria: The selection criteria specified in the query may not be compatible with the data structure of the InfoCube. This can happen if the fields used in the selection are not part of the InfoCube or if they are not defined correctly.
  Data Type Mismatch: There may be a mismatch in data types between the selection criteria and the fields in the InfoCube.
  Missing Characteristics: If the selection criteria reference characteristics that are not included in the InfoCube, the system may attempt to convert or ignore those selections.
  Aggregation Issues: If the selections involve aggregated data that cannot be directly mapped to the InfoCube, the system may need to adjust the selections.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria used in the query or report. Ensure that all fields and characteristics are valid and exist in the InfoCube.
  Adjust Query Design: If necessary, modify the query design to ensure that it aligns with the structure of the InfoCube. This may involve removing or changing certain selections.
  Check Data Types: Ensure that the data types of the selection criteria match those defined in the InfoCube.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific InfoCube to understand its structure and the valid selection criteria.
  Test with Simplified Criteria: Try running the query with simplified or fewer selection criteria to identify which specific selection is causing the issue.
  
  Related Information:
