• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UJR_EXCEPTION012 - Member (&1) of dimension (&2) is not a base member (parent or formula) ?

  The SAP error message UJR_EXCEPTION012 indicates that there is an issue with a member in a dimension within the SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) environment. Specifically, the error states that the member you are trying to use is not a base member, meaning it is either a parent member or a formula member, which cannot be used in certain contexts where a base member is required.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Base Member: The member you are trying to reference is not a base member. In BPC, base members are the lowest level members in a hierarchy that contain actual data, while parent members are aggregations of base members, and formula members are calculated values.
  Incorrect Member Usage: You may be trying to perform an operation or calculation that requires a base member, but you are using a parent or formula member instead.
  Dimension Configuration: The dimension configuration may not be set up correctly, leading to the system not recognizing the member as a base member.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Member Type: Verify the type of the member you are trying to use. Ensure that it is a base member and not a parent or formula member. You can do this by checking the dimension structure in the BPC model.
  Use Base Members: If you need to perform calculations or data entry, ensure that you are using base members. Replace the non-base member with an appropriate base member in your calculations or data entry.
  Review Dimension Settings: If you believe the member should be a base member, review the dimension settings and hierarchy to ensure it is configured correctly. You may need to adjust the member properties or hierarchy.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP BPC documentation for more details on member types and their usage within dimensions.
