  SAP Error Message:
  WES_OUTBOUND047
  
  Text: Store a table at filter object &1 for simple filter &2
  
  Cause:
  This message typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when working with filter objects in queries or data extraction processes. The system expects a table (an internal table or a data structure) to be stored or assigned to a filter object for a simple filter condition, but this has not been done properly.
  More specifically:
  
  The filter object &1 (e.g., a characteristic or a variable) requires a table of values to be assigned for the simple filter &2.
  The system is trying to process or store filter values but cannot find the expected table or data structure.
  This can happen during query execution, data extraction, or when setting filters programmatically (e.g., via ABAP code or BEx queries).
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  
  Check the filter object &1:
  
  Verify that the filter object (characteristic or variable) is correctly defined.
  Ensure that it is designed to accept a table of values (multiple values) if needed.
  
  
  
  Assign the table for the simple filter &2:
  
  Make sure that the filter values are passed as a table (internal table or value range table) rather than a single value.
  If you are using ABAP code, ensure that the table is properly filled and assigned to the filter object.
  
  
  
  Review the filter assignment in the query or extraction:
  
  In BEx Query Designer or BW Query Monitor, check the filter settings.
  If the filter is a variable, ensure that the variable is set up to accept multiple values or a range, and that the values are correctly passed.
  
  
  
  Check the program or interface passing the filter:
  
  If this error occurs during data extraction or interface processing, review the code or configuration that sets the filter values.
  Make sure the filter object is assigned a table of values, not just a single value or empty.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If you have access to ABAP debugging, trace the point where the filter object is assigned.
  Check the contents of the table being assigned to the filter object.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is informational or warning-like, indicating that the system expects a table for the filter but did not find it.
  It is related to filter processing in SAP BW queries, data extraction, or reporting.
  Similar messages may appear when working with filter objects, variables, or selection options in BW.
  Proper handling of filter objects and their value assignments is crucial for correct query execution and data extraction.
  If you are using custom ABAP code or user exits to set filters, ensure that the data structures conform to expected formats.
