  The SAP error message RS2HANA_VIEW087 indicates that a key figure in an external SAP HANA view is not supported. This typically occurs when you are trying to use a key figure that is either not defined correctly or is incompatible with the HANA view you are working with.
  Cause:
  
  Unsupported Key Figure: The key figure you are trying to use may not be supported in the context of the HANA view. This can happen if the key figure is not defined in the underlying data model or if it is not compatible with the HANA view's structure.
