  The SAP error message RSAU704 indicates that a key figure in your data model is only updated in a specific version using a routine. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when working with data models, especially during the data loading process.
  Cause:
  
  Version-Specific Key Figure: The key figure you are trying to update is configured to be updated only in a specific version (e.g., a planning version). This means that the key figure is not available for updates in the current version you are working with.

  Check Version Settings: Verify the version settings for the key figure in the InfoObject or the data model. Ensure that you are working with the correct version that allows updates to this key figure.
  Modify the Routine: If you have access to the routine that updates the key figure, you may need to modify it to allow updates in the desired version. This may involve changing the logic to accommodate multiple versions or ensuring that the routine is executed for the correct version.
  Data Load Process: Review the data load process to ensure that it is correctly configured to handle the versioning of key figures. Make sure that the data is being loaded into the appropriate version.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling key figures and versioning in your particular SAP BW or SAP BW/4HANA environment.
