filter item dropdown box_1 specified an invalid characteristic - WAD

[Former Member]

Hi,

A couple of the users have reported the following error message when accessing reports and charts in the portal. The user is using the drop down filter, to filter by plant and is getting the following error message 'filter item dropdown box_1 specified an invalid characteristic'. This problem arises at different time intervals to different users. Security team has pointed out that it is not a security issue. Let me know the resolution, if you have already encountered it.

Thank You,

Bala

Hi Bala,

Check this note: SAP Note Number- 975991

Also, fo through this forum:

It basically might be due to the authorization problem.

Hi Pradnya,

I checked that Forum before I put my question. Security is saying that it is not an authorization problem.

But I will check the OSS note.

Thanks,

Bala
