  The SAP error message RSUOM084 indicates that there is an issue with a key figure in a query or report that is expected to be of type QUAN (quantity) but is not. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when working with queries in BEx (Business Explorer) or similar reporting tools.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A key figure that is expected to represent a quantity (e.g., sales volume, inventory levels) is defined as a different data type (e.g., CHAR, NUMC, etc.) in the InfoProvider or InfoObject.
  The query is trying to perform operations or calculations that require the key figure to be of type QUAN, but it is not.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSUOM084 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Key Figure Definition:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance in the SAP BW system.
  Verify the data type of the key figure that is causing the error. Ensure that it is defined as QUAN (quantity).
  
  
  
  Adjust the Query:
  
  If the key figure is not supposed to be a quantity, you may need to adjust the query to use a different key figure that is of type QUAN.
  Review the calculations or aggregations in the query to ensure they are appropriate for the data types being used.
  
  
  
  Data Source Configuration:
  
  If the key figure is derived from a data source (e.g., an InfoCube or DSO), check the data source configuration to ensure that the key figure is correctly mapped and defined.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the Query:
  
  After making changes to the key figure or query, re-activate the query to ensure that the changes take effect.
