Explanation

In SAP BW Query Designer, the Fixed Values area (part of the filter section) allows you to restrict query data using objects that can act as selection criteria - only Characteristics (A) and Navigation Attributes (C) qualify because they are both treated as selectable dimensions in the query context. Navigation attributes are explicitly enabled in the InfoObject as "navigation-capable," which grants them the same filtering power as standalone characteristics.

Key figures (B) are measures/metrics, not dimensional filters - they belong in the Columns or Rows area, and data restriction by measure value is handled through Conditions, not Fixed Values. Display attributes (D) are purely presentational; they depend on their parent characteristic and cannot be independently used for selection or filtering - they have no "navigation" capability in the query engine.

Memory tip: Ask "Can it navigate?" - if yes (Characteristics and Navigation Attributes), it can filter in Fixed Values. Display attributes only display; Key figures only measure.
