You are recommended to assign a key figure to a field that gets its unit
of measure or currency from unit &V1& . Alternatively you can assign the

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSOBI_MF209 - Unit &1 not used by a key figure; see long text ?

  The SAP error message RSOBI_MF209 indicates that a specific unit (denoted as &1 in the message) is not being used by any key figure in the context of a data model or InfoProvider. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when working with InfoObjects, key figures, and units of measure.
  Cause:
  
  Unused Unit: The unit specified in the error message is defined in the system but is not assigned to any key figure. This can happen if the unit was created but never linked to a key figure or if the key figure was deleted or modified in a way that it no longer uses the unit.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model, such as the removal of key figures or modifications to existing ones, can lead to this error if the unit is still referenced in the metadata.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the InfoObject settings or in the data model that prevent the unit from being associated with a key figure.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Key Figures: Review the key figures in your InfoProvider or data model to see if the unit is indeed not assigned. You can do this by navigating to the relevant InfoObject and checking its properties.
  Assign the Unit: If the unit is required, you can assign it to an appropriate key figure. This can be done in the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., transaction code RSD1).
  Remove the Unit: If the unit is not needed, you can consider removing it from the system. This can be done in the unit maintenance transaction (e.g., transaction code RSD1 for units).
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies or references to the unit in other objects or processes that might be affected by its removal or reassignment.
  Re-activate the InfoProvider: After making changes, you may need to re-activate the InfoProvider or the data model to ensure that the changes take effect.
