  The SAP error message /SAPPCE/PNV301 Enter a different line ID for each key figure typically occurs in the context of SAP Planning applications, particularly when working with planning functions or planning layouts in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP Analytics Cloud.
  Cause:
  This error arises when you are trying to assign multiple key figures to the same line ID in a planning layout or planning function.

  Review the Planning Layout/Function:
  
  Open the planning layout or function where the error occurred.
  Check the line IDs assigned to each key figure.
  
  
  
  Assign Unique Line IDs:
  
  Modify the line IDs so that each key figure has a distinct line ID.
  Ensure that there are no duplicates in the line ID assignments.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save the changes to the planning layout or function.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
