  The SAP error message REBDMS043 indicates that an obsolete measurement type has been added to a document or transaction. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Real Estate Management (RE) module, where measurement types are used to define how certain measurements (like area, volume, etc.) are recorded and processed.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when a measurement type that is marked as obsolete is included in a transaction. This can happen due to:

  Solution:
  To resolve the REBDMS043 error, you can take the following steps:
