• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRAIN_DEV628 - Value '&2' is not valid for characteristic &1 ?

  The SAP error message BRAIN_DEV628 indicates that a value you are trying to use for a characteristic in a query or data model is not valid. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when working with characteristics in InfoObjects, queries, or data models.
  Cause:
  
  
  Invalid Value: The value you are trying to assign to the characteristic does not exist in the master data for that characteristic. This could happen if:
  
  The value has been deleted or is not yet loaded into the system.
  There is a typo or formatting issue in the value being used.
  The characteristic is restricted to a specific set of values, and the value you are trying to use is outside that set.
  
  
  
  Data Model Issues: If you are working with a composite provider or a calculation view, the underlying data model may not support the value you are trying to use.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access certain values for a characteristic.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Master Data: Verify that the value you are trying to use exists in the master data for the characteristic. You can do this by:

  Correct the Value: If the value is incorrect, correct it in your query or data model. Ensure that you are using the correct format and spelling.
  
  
  Load Missing Data: If the value is missing from the master data, you may need to load the relevant data into the InfoObject. This could involve running a data load process or checking the data source.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the characteristic and its values. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify this.
  
  
  Review Data Model: If you are using a composite provider or calculation view, review the underlying data model to ensure that it supports the values you are trying to use.
