  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UAS055 - Field &1 is not a key figure ?

    The SAP error message UAS055, which states "Field &1 is not a key figure," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP Analytics when working with queries, reports, or data models. This error indicates that the field you are trying to use as a key figure in your query or report is not defined as such in the underlying data model.

    Cause:

    1. Field Definition: The field you are trying to use is not defined as a key figure in the InfoObject or data model. Key figures are typically numeric values that can be aggregated (e.g., sales amounts, quantities).
    2. Query Design: The query or report you are designing may be incorrectly configured, attempting to use a characteristic or non-numeric field as a key figure.
    3. Data Source Issues: The data source you are using may not have the field defined correctly, or it may not be included in the data model as a key figure.

    Solution:

    1. Check Field Definition:

      • Go to the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) and check the InfoObject definition for the field in question. Ensure that it is defined as a key figure.
      • If it is not defined as a key figure, you may need to create or modify the InfoObject to include it as a key figure.
    2. Modify Query:

      • If you are working in a query designer (e.g., BEx Query Designer), check the query structure. Ensure that you are using the correct fields in the key figure section of the query.
      • Remove the field from the key figure area if it is not supposed to be a key figure.
    3. Data Source Configuration:

      • Verify the data source configuration to ensure that the field is included and correctly defined as a key figure.
      • If necessary, refresh the data source or re-import the data model to ensure all definitions are up to date.
    4. Consult Documentation:

      • Review SAP documentation or help resources for more information on key figures and their definitions in your specific version of SAP BW or Analytics.

    Related Information:

    • Key Figures: In SAP BW, key figures are numeric values that can be aggregated and analyzed. They are essential for reporting and analytics.
    • Characteristics: These are attributes or dimensions that provide context to key figures (e.g., product, customer, time).
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message, as there may be known issues or fixes available.
