BRAIN_SUP040 - Details

• The SAP error message BRAIN_SUP040 indicates that you are trying to use the same dimension on different axes in a query or report, which is not allowed in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP Analytics Cloud. This error typically arises when you are designing a query in the BEx Query Designer or creating a report in SAP Analytics Cloud.
