  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WT403 - The selected key figure does not exist in the selected info structure ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WT403 - The selected key figure does not exist in the selected info structure


    Cause:

    This error occurs in SAP when you try to select or use a key figure (a data field or measure) that is not available or defined in the chosen InfoStructure. InfoStructures are used in SAP Logistics Information System (LIS) to store summarized data for reporting and analysis. Each InfoStructure contains a specific set of key figures and characteristics.

    Common reasons for this error:

    • The key figure you are trying to report on or select is not part of the InfoStructure you have chosen.
    • The InfoStructure has not been updated or activated properly after changes.
    • You might be using an incorrect or outdated InfoStructure for the data you want to analyze.
    • The key figure was removed or never included in the InfoStructure definition.

    Solution:

    1. Check the InfoStructure Definition:

      • Go to transaction KOB1 or KOB2 (depending on your SAP version) to display or change the InfoStructure.
      • Verify if the key figure you want to use is included in the InfoStructure.
    2. Add the Key Figure to the InfoStructure (if missing):

      • If the key figure is not part of the InfoStructure, you need to enhance the InfoStructure by adding the required key figure.
      • Use transaction KOB2 to change the InfoStructure and add the missing key figure.
      • After adding, activate the InfoStructure.
    3. Update the InfoStructure:

      • After changes, update the InfoStructure using transaction KOB1 or KOB2.
      • This ensures that the InfoStructure contains the latest data and key figures.
    4. Use the Correct InfoStructure:

      • Confirm that you are using the correct InfoStructure for your reporting needs.
      • Sometimes, multiple InfoStructures exist for similar data but with different key figures.
    5. Check the Reporting Tool Settings:

      • If you are using a report or query, ensure that the key figure is selected from the correct InfoStructure.
      • Adjust the selection criteria or report parameters accordingly.

    Related Information:

    • InfoStructure: A data structure in SAP LIS that stores aggregated data for reporting.
    • Key Figure: A measurable quantity or value (e.g., quantity, amount) used in reports.
    • Transactions:
      • KOB1 - Display InfoStructure
      • KOB2 - Change InfoStructure
      • KOB3 - Activate InfoStructure
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP OSS notes for any known issues related to your SAP version and InfoStructure.
    • LIS Reporting: Ensure that the InfoStructure and key figures align with your reporting requirements.

    Summary:

    The error WT403 indicates a mismatch between the key figure you want to use and the InfoStructure selected. To resolve it, verify and possibly modify the InfoStructure to include the required key figure, then update and activate it before running your report again.
