The SAP error message
/CFG/DB063 No selection criteria specified for Dimension
typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when you are trying to execute a query or a data extraction process without providing the necessary selection criteria for a specific dimension. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you are working with InfoProviders, queries, or data models.Cause:
- Missing Selection Criteria: The most common cause of this error is that the query or data extraction process does not have any selection criteria defined for one or more dimensions. This means that the system does not know which data to retrieve or process.
- Incorrect Query Design: If the query is not designed properly, it may not include the necessary filters or selection criteria for the dimensions involved.
- Data Model Issues: There may be issues with the underlying data model or InfoProvider that prevent the selection criteria from being recognized.
Solution:
- Define Selection Criteria: Ensure that you have defined selection criteria for all relevant dimensions in your query or data extraction process. This can typically be done in the query designer or the data extraction settings.
- Check Query Design: Review the design of your query to ensure that all necessary dimensions are included and that they have appropriate filters applied.
- Validate Data Model: Check the underlying data model or InfoProvider to ensure that it is correctly set up and that the dimensions are properly defined.
- Test with Sample Data: If possible, test the query or extraction with a smaller dataset or specific parameters to see if the issue persists.
- Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly set up selection criteria for dimensions in your specific context.

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.
