In the fact tables (E and F tables) of an InfoCube, a search is being
carried out for those records that contain values other than zero for
key figures that have units, but for which the unit of the key figure
is blank (has no value).
Since the value of the unit has to correspond to the value of the key
figure, such records would indicate an error in the data upload. The
values of the units have not been loaded correctly into BW.
