• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UASBW050 - Missing selection condition for characteristic &1 (&2) of posting level ?

  The SAP error message UASBW050 indicates that there is a missing selection condition for a characteristic in the context of a posting level. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when you are trying to execute a query or a data extraction process, and the system requires specific selection criteria that have not been provided.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Selection Condition: The error arises when a characteristic (denoted as &1) is expected to have a selection condition defined, but it is not provided. This could be due to:
  
  The characteristic not being included in the query or report.
  The characteristic being set as mandatory in the data model but not being filled in the selection screen.
  Incorrect configuration in the InfoProvider or query definition.
  
  
  
  Posting Level Issues: The posting level (denoted as &2) may not have the necessary characteristics defined, leading to the error when the system tries to process the data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Query Definition: 
  
  Go to the query definition in the SAP BW system and ensure that all required characteristics are included in the selection criteria.
  Make sure that the characteristic mentioned in the error message is either included in the query or is set to optional if it is not needed.
  
  
  
  Review InfoProvider Settings:
  
  Check the InfoProvider (e.g., InfoCube, DSO) to ensure that the characteristic is correctly defined and that it has the necessary attributes and hierarchies.
  Ensure that the posting level is correctly configured and that all required characteristics are included.
  
  
  
  Adjust Selection Conditions:
  
  If the characteristic is mandatory, ensure that it is filled in the selection screen when executing the query.
  If it is optional, consider adjusting the query to allow for execution without it.
  
  
  
  Test the Query: After making the necessary adjustments, test the query again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue continues, refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to the specific version of SAP BW you are using, as there may be version-specific considerations.
