• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDDTPS007 - Units of key figure &1 are not convertable ?

  The SAP error message RSDDTPS007, which states "Units of key figure &1 are not convertible," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when there is an issue with the unit of measure (UoM) for a key figure in a query or data model.
