No dimension assigned to restrict calculation scope...

Question

Hi BPC Experts,
I am trying to load the rate information into the rate application using the Import data package when I am encountering the following error: "No dimension assigned to restrict calculation scope". I am wondering what might be going on. I am on BPC 5.1. Thanks.

Tim,
I am trying to load the rate information in the rate application.
A few typical record in my ASCII import file look like:
RATESRC,CATEGORY,INPUTCURRENCY,TIME,RATE,AMOUNT
RateInput,ACTUAL,GBP,2008.JAN,Avg,1.8325
RateInput,ACTUAL,GBP,2008.JAN,End,1.8415
The RATE application has the same dimensions as in ApShell - so nothing new here:
Actually if I run the import data management package without default logic, it seems to run fine. The error crops up when I run the "Import" data management package to run with the default logic.
Interestingly, if I comment out all the logic script and run the "Import" data management package with default logic, the error still persists. So, in my opinion, the error has nothing to do with the logic itself.
The Import data management package automatically runs with standard Transformation File "Import.xls" if I don't pick any transformation file. It is my understanding that I don't have to pick any transformation file if there is a header record in the data file.
The logic in the default logic is:
Here is what the Debug log for logic looks like:
