• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UCMI100 - Only a key figure-type of attribute can be used for the tax rate ?

  The SAP error message UCMI100 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a tax rate in the context of a key figure in SAP. This error typically arises when a non-key figure attribute is being used where a key figure-type attribute is required for tax rate calculations.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Incorrect Attribute Type: The attribute you are trying to use for the tax rate is not defined as a key figure in the data model. In SAP, tax rates must be associated with key figures, which are numerical values that can be aggregated.
  Data Model Configuration: The data model or the InfoObject configuration may not be set up correctly, leading to the use of an inappropriate attribute type for tax rates.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the UCMI100 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Attribute Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP BW or SAP HANA modeling environment.
  Verify the attributes of the InfoObject you are using for the tax rate.
  Ensure that the attribute intended for the tax rate is defined as a key figure.
  
  
  
  Modify the Data Model:
  
  If the attribute is not a key figure, you may need to create a new key figure that represents the tax rate.
  Adjust the data model to ensure that the tax rate is linked to a key figure-type attribute.
  
  
  
  Review Tax Rate Settings:
  
  Check the settings in the relevant tax configuration area (e.g., tax codes, tax rate determination) to ensure that they are correctly set up to use key figures.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error no longer appears and that tax calculations are functioning as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Key Figures in SAP: Key figures are numerical values that can be aggregated and are essential for calculations in reporting and analytics.
  InfoObjects: In SAP BW, InfoObjects are the building blocks of the data model, and they can be classified as key figures or characteristics (attributes).
  Tax Configuration: Understanding how tax rates are configured in SAP is crucial for ensuring compliance and accurate financial reporting.
