Have a look at OSS notes 1140831 & 727354. They explain the aggregation.

Hi,

Aggreegation needs to add when the particular characteristics is not being used while executing query. But that char. is used somewhere in your query design.

Aggregation authorization ("colon authorization") to view the values of an authorization-relevant characteristic in aggregated form.

Example:

The calendar year (0CALYEAR) characteristic is authorization-relevant and is contained in the InfoProvider that is in use. You defined a query as follows:

1. 0CALYEAR is in the free characteristics (not in the drilldown) without any selections (or)

2. 0CALYEAR does not exist in the query at all.

In both cases, no 0CALYEAR values are displayed in the query. Also, the query is not restricted to any 0CALYEAR values. A colon is required for the authorization check in this situation.

As said in the previous reply, When 0CALYEAR is not used in the query the key figure values in the query gets aggregated based on 0CALYEAR.

So you need authorization to display aggregated data.

In the characteristics, a row was inserted and the value is : . This did not resolve the issue. All of the characteristics have the specific values assigned AND the : to allow authorization to aggregated data.

For authorizations not to fail, it is good to provide aggregated authorization for all the characteristics to which you have restricted authorization.

Hi Koserk,

: (colon) allows access only to particular aggregated data maintained for example it allows report(authorization) on all

sales areas only on aggregated level u2013 not on particular sales areas).
