• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UJCTRL_EXCEPTION169 - Dimension &1 should not have input member ?

  The SAP error message UJCTRL_EXCEPTION169 indicates that there is an issue with a dimension in your SAP system, specifically that a dimension should not have an input member. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation) when dealing with planning models or data input.
  Cause:
  
  
  Input Member Misconfiguration: The dimension in question has been configured to allow input members, but the specific member being referenced is not allowed to be an input member. This can happen if the member is defined incorrectly in the model or if it is a calculated member that should not accept input.
  
  
  Dimension Settings: The dimension settings may not be correctly configured to allow input for certain members. For example, if a member is set as a "calculated" member, it typically should not accept direct input.
  
  
  Data Model Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the data model or planning model that lead to this error, such as incorrect relationships or hierarchies.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Dimension Configuration: Review the configuration of the dimension in the planning model. Ensure that the members are correctly defined and that only appropriate members are set as input members.
  
  
  Adjust Member Properties: If the member in question is a calculated member or should not accept input, adjust its properties to reflect that it should not be an input member.
  
  
  Review Planning Model: Check the overall planning model for any inconsistencies or misconfigurations that could lead to this error. Ensure that all dimensions and their members are correctly set up.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring dimensions and input members in your version of SAP BW or BPC.
