  The SAP error message RSM472 "No unit maintained for key figure &" typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when a key figure in a query or InfoProvider does not have a unit of measure defined. This can lead to issues when trying to execute queries or reports that involve that key figure.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Unit of Measure: The key figure in question does not have an associated unit of measure defined in the InfoObject settings.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the InfoObject or InfoProvider where the key figure is defined.
  Data Source Issues: The data source from which the key figure is derived may not have the unit of measure defined or may not be correctly mapped.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Settings:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSD1).
  Locate the InfoObject corresponding to the key figure that is causing the error.
  Ensure that a unit of measure is defined for the key figure. If not, you can define a unit of measure in the InfoObject settings.
  
  
  
  Update InfoProvider:
  
  If the key figure is part of an InfoProvider (like an InfoCube or DSO), ensure that the InfoProvider is correctly configured to include the unit of measure for the key figure.
  You may need to regenerate the InfoProvider after making changes.
  
  
  
  Check Data Source:
  
  If the key figure is derived from a data source (like an ODS or a DataSource), check the data source settings to ensure that the unit of measure is correctly defined and mapped.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the InfoObject:
  
  Sometimes, simply reactivating the InfoObject can resolve issues related to configuration changes not being recognized.
  
  
  
  Check Query Design:
  
  If the error occurs in a specific query, check the query design in the Query Designer (transaction RSRQ) to ensure that the key figure is correctly included and that the unit of measure is properly set.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If changes were made in a development environment, ensure that the transport requests are correctly moved to the production environment.
