  The SAP error message RSUOM087 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of key figures in a data transfer or transformation process, typically in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA. The error message states that the source and target key figures must be different, which means that the system is trying to map or transfer data between two key figures that are not allowed to be the same.
  Cause:
  
  Mapping Configuration: The error usually arises when there is a mapping configuration issue in the transformation rules where the source and target key figures are incorrectly set to the same key figure.
  Data Transfer Process (DTP): If you are using a DTP to transfer data from one InfoProvider to another, the source and target key figures must be distinct.
  Incompatible Key Figures: The key figures may have incompatible characteristics or attributes that prevent them from being treated as different entities.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Transformation Rules: Go to the transformation rules in the SAP BW system and verify the mapping of the source and target key figures. Ensure that they are set to different key figures.
  
  Navigate to the relevant transformation in the SAP BW modeling tools.
  Review the source and target key figure assignments.
  Change the target key figure to a different one if they are currently the same.
  
  
  
  Adjust Data Transfer Process (DTP): If the error occurs during a DTP execution, check the DTP settings to ensure that the source and target key figures are correctly defined.
  
  Open the DTP in the SAP BW system.
  Review the settings and ensure that the source and target key figures are not the same.
  
  
  
  Review InfoObjects: Ensure that the InfoObjects (key figures) involved are correctly defined and that their properties allow for the intended data transfer.
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the necessary adjustments, test the data transfer or transformation process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
