Summary :
This SAP note addresses issues with a query utilizing a formula variable with a replacement path where the expected substitution doesn't execute correctly, resulting in incorrect display values. The complexity arises from the multiple enhancements and extensions of the replacement path function, especially in scenarios involving double structures and exception cells. Detailed knowledge of the replacement process is crucial for error identification. Solutions include specific database configurations (RSZGLOBV values) and detailed technical steps for attribute-based replacements. Guidance covers various adjustments and settings essential for accurate data aggregation and display, ensuring optimal system performance. Recommendations are valid from Release 3.X to Release 7.00, with subsequent corrections necessary post Release 7.00 enhancements.
