  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MCPSH_SEL062 indicates that there is an issue with the selection criteria used in a query or report for an InfoCube in SAP APO (Advanced Planning and Optimization). The message states that certain selections could not be converted for the specified InfoCube, which can occur for several reasons.
  Causes:
  
  
  Incompatible Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used in the query may not be compatible with the structure or characteristics of the InfoCube. This can happen if the InfoCube does not contain the required key figures or characteristics that are being referenced in the selection.
  
  
  Data Type Mismatch: There may be a mismatch in data types between the selection criteria and the InfoCube fields. For example, if a character field is being compared to a numeric field, this can lead to conversion issues.
  
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user executing the query may not have the necessary authorizations to access certain data or InfoCube characteristics, leading to selection failures.
  
  
  Incorrect InfoObject Settings: The InfoObjects used in the selection may not be properly defined or activated in the InfoCube.
  
  
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model, such as adding or removing characteristics or key figures, this can lead to inconsistencies in the selection criteria.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Check the selection criteria being used in the query. Ensure that all fields and values are compatible with the InfoCube structure.
  
  
  Validate Data Types: Ensure that the data types of the selection criteria match those of the InfoCube fields. Adjust the selection criteria as necessary.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the InfoCube and its associated data.
