How To Fix WXP566 - Infocube &3 does not contain key figure field &2


SAP Error Message - Details

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: WXP - Retail Planning

  • Message number: 566

  • Message text: Infocube &3 does not contain key figure field &2

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    You want to use the BW system for providing actual data. This means
    that the actual data is taken from the info cubes for all key figures
    that have assignments to info cube fields. The info cube fields that
    have been assigned exist in the relevant info cubes.
    This is not true of info cube &V3&: key figure &V1& is assigned to info
    cube field &V2&. This field is not, however, used in the info cube.
    This means that no actual data can be taken from info cube &V3& for
    this key figure.

    How to fix this error?

    If you want to take actual data for key figure &V1& from info cube &V3&
    for your planning, you must include info cube field &v2& and update the
    actual data for this fey figure to the info cube.

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP566 - Infocube &3 does not contain key figure field &2 ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WXP566 Infocube &3 does not contain key figure field &2


    Meaning / Cause:

    This warning message indicates that the specified InfoCube (represented by &3) does not contain the key figure field (represented by &2) that is being referenced or expected in the context of a query, transformation, or data model.

    In other words, the system is trying to access or use a key figure field in the InfoCube that does not exist in the InfoCube's definition.


    Common Scenarios Where This Occurs:

    • When creating or executing a query that references a key figure not present in the InfoCube.
    • During transformations or data loads where a key figure is expected but missing.
    • When InfoCube structures have changed (e.g., key figures removed or renamed) but dependent objects (queries, transformations) have not been updated accordingly.
    • When a BEx query or report references a key figure that was deleted or is not part of the InfoCube.

    Solution / How to Fix:

    1. Verify the Key Figure in the InfoCube:

      • Go to transaction RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench).
      • Navigate to the InfoCube &3.
      • Check the list of key figures defined in the InfoCube.
      • Confirm whether the key figure &2 exists.
    2. Update or Correct the Query/Transformation:

      • If the key figure &2 does not exist in the InfoCube, update the query or transformation to remove or replace references to this key figure.
      • If the key figure should exist, check if it was accidentally deleted or renamed. Restore or rename it accordingly.
    3. Adjust InfoCube Structure if Needed:

      • If the key figure is missing but required, consider adding it back to the InfoCube.
      • After adding, activate the InfoCube and adjust dependent objects.
    4. Check Transport and Activation Status:

      • Sometimes, changes in the InfoCube are not transported or activated properly.
      • Ensure that the InfoCube and related objects are properly activated and transported across systems.
    5. Regenerate or Rebuild Queries:

      • After changes, regenerate or adjust queries to reflect the current InfoCube structure.

    Additional Information:

    • This is a warning message (WXP566), so it may not stop processing but indicates a potential inconsistency.
    • Always ensure that InfoCube structures and dependent objects (queries, transformations, reports) are synchronized.
    • Use transaction RSRT to test queries and identify missing key figures.
    • If you are working with BW on HANA or BW/4HANA, similar principles apply but check for any modeling changes in the new environment.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Message WXP566 Infocube &3 does not contain key figure field &2
    Cause Key figure &2 is referenced but not present in InfoCube &3
    Solution Verify InfoCube structure, update or remove references to missing key figure, add key figure if needed, activate objects
    Transactions RSA1 (InfoCube), RSRT (Query testing)

    If you provide the actual InfoCube name and key figure, I can help you with more specific steps.
