Check Aggregation Function: Review the query definition and ensure that the aggregation function used is valid. Common aggregation functions include SUM, AVG, COUNT, etc. Make sure there are no typos.
Field Compatibility: Verify that the field you are trying to aggregate supports the function you are using. Some fields may only support certain types of aggregations.
Update Query: If you find that the function is indeed unknown, consider replacing it with a valid aggregation function that is supported by your SAP system.
Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific version you are using to ensure that the aggregation functions you are trying to use are supported.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
