  The SAP error message RSUOM008 indicates that a specific InfoObject (usually a characteristic or key figure) does not exist in the system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when trying to access or manipulate data related to InfoObjects that are not defined or have been deleted.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent InfoObject: The InfoObject you are trying to reference does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo in the name or the InfoObject being deleted.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoObject was recently transported from another system (e.g., from development to production), it may not have been transported correctly.
  Incorrect DataSource: The DataSource you are using may not be correctly linked to the InfoObject.
  Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations to access the InfoObject can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Existence:
  
  Go to the SAP BW modeling tools (transaction RSA1) and check if the InfoObject exists. You can search for it in the InfoObject catalog.
  Ensure that the name of the InfoObject is spelled correctly in your query or data model.

  Check Transport Requests:

  Review DataSource Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the DataSource is correctly configured and linked to the InfoObject. Check the extraction settings and mappings.
