Request failed with SID value not found

Question

Hi Gurus, I have this error message "No SID found for value '15.00' of charateristic 0CURKEY_TC" and similar message with "10.00" and "*0.0" value, when trying to activate data in standard DSO in BI7.0.
This is a Dev system just setup for traning purposes so I do not have any Master data to load. I am only loading transactional data from DataSource 0PU_IS_PS_32
I tried searching for the answer and did the following
1) Transfer Global Settings from the source system (which solved other problems but not this one)
2) In RSRV, I do not see any errors for this InfoObject
3) I am not sure how I can update table T006 and or TCURC with these values?
I also tried following the Note: 619987 and does not know how I can implement this function module "If you nevertheless receive this error message for the initial value, this means that there is an inconsistency in the SID table for the 0UNIT or 0CURRENCY characteristic. You can eliminate this inconsistency by calling the RSDMD_INITIAL_LINE_INSERT function module with I_CHABASNM = 0UNIT or 0CURRENCY"
Is there any help that anybody can extend, it will be greatly appreciated.

Dear,
SID error comes during activation of ODS because the related MD is not available for assigning SIDs.
So as a first step ensure that the related master data is loaded and Attribute change run has been triggered.
Or Load the MD and Activate the MD (Modeling > InfoObject > Search the Infoobject > Right click > Activate Master Data)
Once you perform this you can retrigger the activation. It should work fine.
Else as a workaround you can blank out these particular values and activate.
There is also one more workaround wherein you can create the Master data entries directly in BW itself. But both the above step should be done after consulting Business and considering data volume that needs to be edited/created.
In most case once you perform the loading and activation of MD your activation should work fine when repeated.
There are cases where it failed again with the same error. In that case try this also (ensure that PSA is there).
Delete the request in red.
Go to monitor
Edit > Setting for further update > Packet should be processed in the background.
Edit > Update Reversal > Read everything manually > Yes
Background processing successfully scheduled
Then you can see the Load running again.
Once this is done perform activation again
Hope it helps
