  The SAP error message RSCV182 typically relates to issues with the units of measure in an InfoCube. This warning indicates that there are inconsistencies or potential problems with the data being loaded into the InfoCube, particularly regarding the units of measure used for key figures.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Units of Measure: The data being loaded into the InfoCube may have different units of measure for the same key figure. For example, one record might be in kilograms while another is in grams.
  Missing Unit of Measure: Some records may not have a unit of measure defined, leading to ambiguity in how the data should be interpreted.
  Data Source Issues: The source system from which the data is being extracted may have inconsistencies in how it handles units of measure.
  Transformation Errors: During the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process, there may be errors in how units are transformed or mapped.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Data Source: Check the source data for consistency in units of measure. Ensure that all records for a particular key figure use the same unit.
  Data Cleansing: If inconsistencies are found, cleanse the data before loading it into the InfoCube. This may involve converting all values to a common unit of measure.
  Update InfoObject Settings: Ensure that the InfoObjects associated with the key figures in the InfoCube are correctly configured to handle the expected units of measure.
  Check Transformation Rules: Review the transformation rules in the Data Transfer Process (DTP) to ensure that they correctly handle units of measure.
  Use Unit Conversion: If necessary, implement unit conversion logic in the ETL process to standardize units before loading them into the InfoCube.
  Testing: After making changes, perform testing to ensure that the data loads correctly without warnings.
