How To Fix SDDL_PARSER_MSG092 - Use of various paths with quantity values in aggregate functions

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SDDL_PARSER_MSG - Message Class for DDL Parser

• Message number: 092

• Message text: Use of various paths with quantity values in aggregate functions

What causes this issue?

Various path expressions with quantity values are used within numerical
aggregate functions (SUM, AVG, COUNT). Path expressions are translated
during activation of CDS views. As a result, duplication of individual
records can occur when you have path expressions with quantity values.
In the case of numerical aggregations, this can cause incorrect results
since the values are then included in the calculation several times.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG092 - Use of various paths with quantity values in aggregate functions ?

  The SAP error message SDDL_PARSER_MSG092 indicates that there is an issue with the use of various paths with quantity values in aggregate functions within your SAP system. This error typically arises when you are trying to perform an aggregation operation (like SUM, AVG, etc.) on data that involves multiple paths or dimensions that are not compatible with each other.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incompatible Data Paths: The error often occurs when you are trying to aggregate data from different paths or sources that have different characteristics or structures. For example, if you are trying to sum quantities from different product categories or different time periods without a proper relationship or context.
  
  
  Incorrect Use of Aggregate Functions: If the aggregate function is applied to fields that are not meant to be aggregated together, or if the context of the aggregation is not clear, this error can occur.
  
  
  Data Model Issues: There may be issues in the underlying data model or the way the data is structured, leading to conflicts when trying to aggregate.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review the Query: Check the query or the report where the error is occurring. Ensure that the paths you are using for aggregation are compatible and logically related.
  
  
  Use Compatible Paths: Make sure that the data you are aggregating comes from compatible sources. If necessary, adjust the query to ensure that all paths used in the aggregate function are aligned.
  
  
  Modify Aggregate Functions: If you are using multiple aggregate functions, consider breaking them down into simpler components or using subqueries to ensure that each aggregation is performed in a compatible context.
  
  
  Check Data Model: Review the data model to ensure that the relationships between different data sources are correctly defined. If there are issues with the data model, you may need to work with your data architect or SAP consultant to resolve them.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the aggregate functions and how they should be used in your context.
