  The SAP error message RSUOM086 indicates that there is an issue with the target key figure in a data processing operation, typically in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence). The error message specifically states that the target key figure is not of type QUAN (quantity), which is required for the operation you are trying to perform.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Key Figure Type: The target key figure you are trying to use is not defined as a quantity (QUAN) in the InfoObject settings. It may be defined as a different type, such as CHAR (character), NUMC (numeric), or another incompatible type.
  Data Model Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the data model, such as in the InfoCube, DSO (DataStore Object), or transformation rules that are leading to this error.
  Transformation Logic: The transformation logic may be incorrectly set up, where a non-QUAN key figure is being mapped to a QUAN key figure.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Key Figure Definition:
  
  Go to the InfoObject maintenance (transaction code RSD1) and check the definition of the target key figure. Ensure that it is defined as a QUAN type.
  
  
  
  Review Transformation Rules:
  
  Check the transformation rules (transaction code RSFT) that are being used to load data into the target key figure. Ensure that the source key figures being mapped to the target key figure are compatible and of the correct type.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Model:
  
  If the target key figure is part of an InfoCube or DSO, ensure that the data model is correctly configured. You may need to adjust the key figure types in the InfoCube or DSO definition.
  
  
  
  Test Data Load:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the data load again to see if the error persists.
