  The SAP error message UPC_FW135 "No restriction is possible for variable &1" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when you are trying to apply a restriction or filter on a variable that does not support it.

  Query Design: The query or report may not be configured correctly to allow restrictions on that specific variable.
  Data Source Limitations: The underlying data source may not support restrictions for that variable due to its structure or the way it is defined in the InfoProvider.
  Variable Properties: The properties of the variable may not allow for restrictions, such as being set to "No Restriction" in the variable settings.

  Check Variable Properties: Go to the variable settings in the query designer or the relevant data model and check if the variable is set to allow restrictions. You may need to change its properties to enable restrictions.
  Review Query Design: Ensure that the query is designed correctly and that the variable is placed in a context where restrictions can be applied.
