• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UJO_READ_EXCEPTION002 - Dimension cannot exist on both the axis and slicer ?

  The SAP error message UJO_READ_EXCEPTION002 indicates that there is a conflict in the way dimensions are being used in a query or report. Specifically, it means that a dimension is being placed both on the axis (e.g., rows or columns) and in the slicer (filter) at the same time, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises in scenarios where:
  
  A dimension (e.g., a characteristic or attribute) is included in both the axis of the report (like rows or columns) and in the slicer (filter) section.
  The query or report is trying to aggregate or display data in a way that is logically inconsistent due to the dual placement of the same dimension.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review the Query Design:
  
  Open the query or report in the query designer.
  Check the dimensions placed on the axis (rows/columns) and the slicer (filter) section.
  
  
  
  Remove Duplicate Dimension:
  
  If you find that the same dimension is being used in both the axis and the slicer, decide where it should be placed based on your reporting needs.
  Remove the dimension from either the axis or the slicer to eliminate the conflict.
  
  
  
  Test the Query:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, run the query again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  If the dimension is required in both places for specific reasons, consider restructuring your query or using different dimensions that can achieve the desired outcome without causing conflicts.
