• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UPX_KPI263 - Line &1: Key figure already exists. Set "Display Only" indicator ?

  The SAP error message UPX_KPI263 indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify a key figure in a planning application or data model where a key figure with the same name or identifier already exists. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) or SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when working with planning models or data models.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Key Figure: The primary cause of this error is that you are trying to create a new key figure that has the same name or identifier as an existing key figure in the model.
  Model Configuration: The model may not be configured to allow multiple key figures with the same name, leading to this conflict.
  User Permissions: In some cases, user permissions may restrict the ability to modify or create key figures, leading to confusion about existing key figures.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Key Figures: Review the existing key figures in the model to confirm if a key figure with the same name already exists. If it does, you can either:
  
  Rename the new key figure to avoid the conflict.
  Modify the existing key figure if changes are needed.
  
  
  
  Set "Display Only" Indicator: If the intention is to keep the existing key figure and not create a new one, you can set the "Display Only" indicator for the existing key figure. This will allow you to view the key figure without attempting to create a duplicate.
  
  
  Modify Model Configuration: If you need to allow for multiple key figures with similar names, check the model configuration settings to see if there are options to enable this feature.
  
  
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to create or modify key figures in the model. If not, contact your system administrator to adjust your permissions.
