• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP224 - Key figure &1 is not defined within database table &2 ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WXP224 Key figure &1 is not defined within database table &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message occurs in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA environments during query execution or design time when a key figure (a measure or numeric field) referenced in a query or report is not found in the underlying database table (such as the InfoProvider or the fact table).
  In other words:
  
  The query or report is trying to access a key figure (measure) that does not exist or is not defined in the specified database table.
  Common causes include:  
  
  The key figure was deleted or renamed in the InfoProvider but the query still references the old key figure name.  
  The InfoProvider or underlying database table was changed (e.g., during transport or modeling) but the query was not adjusted accordingly.  
  The query or report is based on an outdated or inconsistent metadata cache.  
  There is a mismatch between the InfoProvider metadata and the actual database table structure.
  
  
  Where it occurs:
  
  In SAP BW Query Designer or Analysis for Office when executing queries.  
  During query runtime in BEx Analyzer or other reporting tools.  
  In BW modeling tools when activating or validating queries or InfoProviders.
  
  
  Solution / How to fix:
  
  
  Check the Key Figure Definition:
  
  Go to the InfoProvider (e.g., InfoCube, ADSO) and verify if the key figure mentioned in the error message (&1) exists.
  If it was deleted or renamed, update the query to use the correct key figure.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Query:
  
  Open the query in Query Designer or BW Modeling Tools.
  Remove or replace the key figure that is not defined.
  Save and activate the query again.
  
  
  
  Synchronize Metadata:
  
  Sometimes metadata inconsistencies cause this error.
  Refresh or regenerate the metadata cache.
  In BW Modeling Tools, you can try to re-activate the InfoProvider or regenerate the DSO/InfoCube.
  
  
  
  Check Transport and Changes:
  
  If the error appeared after a transport, verify that all objects (InfoProvider, queries) were transported correctly.
  Ensure that the query and InfoProvider are consistent in the target system.
  
  
  
  Check Database Table:
  
  Use transaction SE11 or database tools to check if the physical table (&2) contains the key figure field.
  If the field is missing, the InfoProvider activation might have failed or the table is inconsistent.
  
  
  
  Rebuild or Reactivate InfoProvider:
  
  If the InfoProvider is an ADSO or InfoCube, try to reactivate it to rebuild the underlying tables.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Message Class: WXP (related to BEx Query Designer / BW Query)
  Message Number: 224
  Typical Scenario: Occurs when queries are not updated after changes in InfoProviders.

  Summary:
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Details
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  Query references a key figure not present in the underlying database table.
  
  
  Effect
  Query execution or activation fails or shows warning; data may be incomplete or incorrect.
  
  
  Solution
  Verify and correct key figure references in queries; synchronize metadata; reactivate InfoProvider.
  
  
  Prevention
  Always update queries after InfoProvider changes; transport objects consistently.
