• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W0CSRS012 - Only maintain data for the required data source (LIS or BW) ?

  The SAP error message W0CSRS012: Only maintain data for the required data source (LIS or BW) typically occurs in the context of data extraction and reporting, especially when working with Logistics Information System (LIS) or Business Warehouse (BW) data sources.
  
  Cause
  This warning message appears when you try to maintain or enter data for a data source that is not relevant or required for the current context or system setup. Specifically:
  
  The system expects you to maintain data only for the data source type that is configured or required (either LIS or BW).
  If you attempt to maintain data for both LIS and BW data sources simultaneously or for a data source that is not active/configured, the system raises this warning.
  It often happens during customizing or data extraction setup when the data source type is ambiguous or incorrectly assigned.
  
  
  Explanation
  
  LIS (Logistics Information System) and BW (Business Warehouse) are two different reporting/data warehousing solutions in SAP.
  In some SAP systems, you configure data extraction either for LIS or for BW, but not both at the same time for the same data source.
  The system enforces this to avoid data inconsistencies and redundant data maintenance.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check the Data Source Configuration:
  
  Verify which data source type (LIS or BW) is active and required for your scenario.
  This can be done in the relevant customizing transaction or IMG node where data sources are maintained.
  
  
  
  Maintain Data Only for the Required Data Source:
  
  If your system is set up for BW extraction, do not maintain LIS data for the same data source.
  Conversely, if LIS is used, avoid maintaining BW data.
  
  
  
  Adjust Customizing Settings:
  
  Go to the customizing path related to the data source or extraction setup.
  Ensure that only the relevant data source type is selected or activated.
  
  
  
  Check User Entries:
  
  If the error occurs during manual data entry or maintenance, ensure that you are entering data only for the required data source.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation or Basis Team:
  
  Sometimes, this message can be related to system-specific settings or transport issues.
  If unsure, consult your SAP Basis or BW team to confirm the correct data source configuration.
