  SAP Error Message:
  WXP772 - Additional key figure &1 does not exist any more
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a query or report tries to reference an additional key figure (AKF) that has been deleted or is no longer available in the system. Additional key figures are custom-calculated key figures created in the BEx Query Designer or within the BW system, and if they are removed or renamed, any queries still referencing them will trigger this error.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The system is trying to access an additional key figure identified by the placeholder &1 (which will be replaced by the actual key figure technical name or description in the runtime message).
  Since this key figure has been deleted or is missing, the system cannot find it in the metadata repository.
  This typically happens after changes in the query design, transport issues, or inconsistencies between development and production systems.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Query Design:
  
  Open the affected query in BEx Query Designer.
  Look for any additional key figures used in the query.
  Identify the key figure that corresponds to the name in the error message.
  
  
  
  Verify Existence of the Additional Key Figure:
  
  Go to the InfoProvider or the relevant BW object where the additional key figure was created.
  Check if the additional key figure still exists.
  If it was deleted, you need to either:
  
  Recreate the additional key figure with the same name and logic.
  Or remove the reference to this key figure from the query.
  
  
  
  
  
  Adjust the Query:
  
  If the additional key figure is no longer needed, remove it from the query.
  If it is needed, recreate or restore it.
  
  
  
  Transport and System Consistency:
  
  Ensure that all transports containing the additional key figure and the query are properly imported into the target system.
  Sometimes, the additional key figure exists in development but not in production due to missing transports.
  
  
  
  Regenerate or Rebuild the Query:
  
  After fixing the additional key figure, regenerate the query.
  Save and activate the query again.
  
  
  
  Check for User Exits or Custom Code:
  
  If the additional key figure is created or manipulated via user exits or custom code, verify that the code is consistent and the key figure exists.

  SAP Notes:
  
  Check SAP Notes related to additional key figures and query errors for any known issues or patches.
  
  
  
  Additional Key Figures:
  
  Additional key figures are often created for custom calculations that are not part of the standard InfoProvider.
  They are stored in the BW metadata and linked to queries.
  
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Transport inconsistencies between DEV, QA, and PROD.
  Manual deletion of additional key figures without updating queries.
  Changes in InfoProvider structure affecting additional key figures.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  The error WXP772 indicates that a query references an additional key figure that no longer exists. To resolve it, verify the existence of the key figure, adjust or recreate it as needed, and ensure query consistency across systems.
  
  If you provide the exact key figure name or the context (e.g., query name, BW version), I can help you with more specific steps.
