• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /STMC/CR_MSG590 - All stacked data series must be on the same axis (SAP GUI only) ?

  The SAP error message /STMC/CR_MSG590 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of stacked data series in a chart or report within the SAP GUI. Specifically, this error occurs when the data series that you are trying to stack do not share the same axis, which is a requirement for stacked charts.
  Cause:
  The error is typically caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Different Axes: The data series you are trying to stack are assigned to different axes (e.g., one series is on the primary axis and another on the secondary axis).
  Inconsistent Data Types: The data series may have different data types or units that make them incompatible for stacking.
  Chart Configuration: The chart configuration may not be set up correctly to allow for stacking of the selected data series.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Axis Assignment:
  
  Ensure that all data series you want to stack are assigned to the same axis (either all to the primary axis or all to the secondary axis).
  You can usually find this setting in the chart properties or configuration options.
  
  
  
  Review Data Series:
  
  Verify that all data series are compatible for stacking. They should represent similar types of data (e.g., all should be sales figures, quantities, etc.).
  Ensure that the units of measurement are consistent across the data series.
  
  
  
  Modify Chart Type:
  
  If the data series cannot be made compatible, consider using a different chart type that does not require stacking, such as a clustered bar or line chart.
  
  
  
  Reconfigure Chart:
  
  If you have made changes to the data series or their configurations, reconfigure the chart to ensure it reflects the correct settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific instructions on configuring charts and handling data series.
