• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UJA_EXCEPTION185 - Member of dimension '&1' must have a '&2' field ?

  The SAP error message UJA_EXCEPTION185 indicates that there is a problem with the data model in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA. Specifically, it suggests that a member of a dimension is missing a required field. The placeholders &1 and &2 in the error message represent the dimension name and the required field name, respectively.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  A dimension member is defined without including a mandatory field that is required for that dimension.
  There may be inconsistencies in the data model, such as missing attributes or incorrect settings in the InfoObject.
  The data load process is trying to load data into a dimension that does not meet the required structure.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Dimension Definition:
  
  Go to the SAP BW modeling tools and check the definition of the dimension indicated by &1.
  Ensure that all required fields, including the one indicated by &2, are correctly defined and included in the dimension.
  
  
  
  Review InfoObject Settings:

  Data Load Process:
  
  Review the data load process that is triggering the error. Ensure that the source data contains all the necessary fields required for the dimension.
  If the source data is missing the required field, you may need to modify the data extraction or transformation process to include it.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Consistency:
  
  Run consistency checks on the data model to identify any other potential issues that may be causing the error.
  Use transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) to perform these checks.
  
  
  
  Reprocess the Data Load:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, reprocess the data load to see if the error persists.
