WXP161 - Details

• SAP Error Message:
  WXP161 Field & has not yet been assigned to an infocube field
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when a field (characteristic or key figure) that is being used in a query, transformation, or process chain has not been assigned or mapped to any field in the target InfoCube. Essentially, the system expects that every field used in reporting or data processing should correspond to a field in the InfoCube, but it finds that the particular field is missing or not linked.
  Common scenarios causing this message include:
  
  A new characteristic or key figure added to the source or query but not yet included in the InfoCube.
  A mismatch between the query definition and the InfoCube structure.
  During transformation or data load, a field is referenced but not mapped to the InfoCube.
  Changes in the InfoCube structure (e.g., deletion or renaming of fields) without updating related objects.
