• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SSB/CORE635 - KPI is local object but Story is transportable; Choose different KPI ?

  The SAP error message /SSB/CORE635 KPI is local object but Story is transportable; Choose different KPI typically occurs in the context of SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) or SAP BusinessObjects when you are trying to use a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) that is defined as a local object in a story that is intended to be transportable (i.e., it can be moved between different environments, such as from development to production).
  Cause:
  
  Local Object: The KPI you are trying to use is defined as a local object, meaning it is only available in the specific environment where it was created. Local objects cannot be transported to other environments.
  Transportable Story: The story you are working on is marked as transportable, which means it is expected to reference objects that can be moved between environments.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Choose a Different KPI: 
  
  Look for a KPI that is defined as a global object (i.e., it can be accessed across different environments). You can do this by checking the properties of the KPIs available in your system.
  
  
  
  Create a Global KPI:
  
  If you need to use a specific KPI that is currently a local object, consider creating a new KPI as a global object. This may involve duplicating the logic of the local KPI and saving it in a way that it can be transported.
  
  
  
  Modify the Story:
  
  If the story does not need to be transportable, you could change its settings to allow the use of local objects. However, this is not recommended if you plan to move the story to another environment.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Settings:
  
  Ensure that your transport settings and configurations are correctly set up to allow for the movement of objects between environments.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  KPI Definition: In SAP, KPIs are metrics used to evaluate the success of an organization or a particular activity. They can be defined at various levels and can be local or global.
  Transport Management: SAP systems have a transport management system (TMS) that allows for the movement of objects between different environments (development, quality assurance, production).
  Best Practices: It is generally a best practice to use global objects in transportable stories to avoid issues like this. Always check the object types when designing reports or stories that will be moved between environments.
