• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UMM_CUSTOMIZING307 - One characteristic has to be assigned to each of the X and Y axis ?

  The SAP error message UMM_CUSTOMIZING307 indicates that when you are trying to create or modify a chart in SAP, you have not assigned a characteristic to either the X-axis or the Y-axis. This is a common issue when working with SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP Analytics tools where visualizations are created based on data characteristics.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the system requires that each axis of the chart (X and Y) must have a characteristic assigned to it. If one or both axes are left unassigned, the system cannot render the chart properly, leading to this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that you have assigned a characteristic to both the X-axis and the Y-axis in your chart configuration. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Open the Chart Configuration: Go to the area where you are configuring your chart (e.g., in a report or dashboard).
  
  
  Assign Characteristics:
  
  Locate the settings for the X-axis and Y-axis.
  Ensure that you select a valid characteristic for each axis. This could be a dimension or a measure that you want to visualize.
  
  
  
  Check Data Source: Make sure that the data source you are using has the necessary characteristics available for selection.
  
  
  Save and Test: After assigning the characteristics, save your changes and test the chart to ensure it displays correctly without errors.
  
  
  Related Information:
