This error typically arises in the context of SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) when dealing with data transfer processes (DTPs) or data models.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Deleted Consolidation Area: The consolidation area referenced in the transfer scope has been deleted or is no longer valid in the system.
  Configuration Changes: Changes in the configuration of the data model or the underlying data sources may have led to the inconsistency.
  Transport Issues: If the system has undergone a transport of objects, it may have led to inconsistencies if the transport did not include all necessary objects or if the target system is not in sync with the source system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSSEM230 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Transfer Scope:

  If the consolidation area has been deleted, you may need to recreate it or adjust the DTP to reference a valid consolidation area.
  
  
  
  Update the DTP:
  
  If the DTP is referencing an outdated or invalid consolidation area, update the DTP to reflect the current configuration.
  You can do this by editing the DTP and selecting the correct consolidation area.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly.
  You may need to re-transport the missing objects or manually adjust the configuration in the target system.
