  The SAP error message RSUOM050, which states "Conversion factors: Enter InfoObject," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when there is an issue related to the conversion factors for units of measure (UoM). This error indicates that the system is expecting an InfoObject (usually a characteristic or key figure) to be specified for the conversion factors, but it is missing or not properly defined.
  Cause:
  
  Missing InfoObject: The error often arises when the InfoObject that is supposed to hold the conversion factors is not specified or is incorrectly configured.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for the unit of measure or the conversion factors may not be set up correctly in the InfoObject settings.
  Data Source Issues: If the data source from which the data is being extracted does not have the necessary InfoObject defined, this error can occur.
  Transport Issues: If the InfoObject was recently transported from another system and the transport did not include all necessary components, this could lead to the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check InfoObject Configuration:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1) and verify that the InfoObject related to the conversion factors is correctly defined.
  Ensure that the InfoObject has the necessary attributes and settings for conversion factors.

  Review Data Source:
