• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSUOM079 - The data object contains no key figure column of type unit ?

  The SAP error message RSUOM079 indicates that the data object you are working with does not contain a key figure column of type "unit." This error typically arises in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when dealing with data models, InfoProviders, or queries that require key figures to be defined with a unit of measure.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Key Figure Definition: The data object (e.g., InfoCube, DataStore Object, or CompositeProvider) does not have any key figures defined with a unit of measure.
  Incorrect Data Model: The data model may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of key figures that are expected to have units.
  Data Source Issues: The data source from which the data is being pulled may not have key figures defined properly.
  Query Design: If you are trying to create or execute a query, it may be referencing key figures that do not exist in the underlying data model.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Definitions:
  
  Go to the data model (e.g., InfoProvider) in the SAP BW system.
  Ensure that there are key figures defined and that at least one of them is of type "unit."
  If necessary, create or modify key figures to include a unit of measure.
  
  
  
  Review Data Source:
  
  Verify the data source that feeds into the InfoProvider. Ensure that it includes key figures with units.
  If the data source is incorrect, adjust it to include the necessary key figures.
  
  
  
  Adjust Query Design:
  
  If you are working with a query, check the query definition in the Query Designer.
  Ensure that the key figures being used in the query are correctly defined in the underlying data model.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the InfoProvider:
  
  Sometimes, re-activating the InfoProvider can resolve issues related to metadata. This can be done in the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on key figures and units of measure in your version of SAP BW or HANA.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
