• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSUOM118 - &1. No identical base unit of measure between character. and DataStore ?

  The SAP error message RSUOM118 indicates that there is a mismatch in the base unit of measure between a character (typically a material or product) and a DataStore object (DSO) in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA. This error usually arises when you are trying to load data into a DataStore object, and the unit of measure for the data being loaded does not match the expected unit of measure defined in the DataStore.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Mismatch: The most common cause of this error is that the unit of measure for the data being loaded does not match the base unit of measure defined for the corresponding characteristic in the DataStore.
  Data Source Configuration: The data source from which you are loading data may have a different unit of measure than what is defined in the DataStore.
  Master Data Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the master data, where the unit of measure for a material or product is not correctly defined or is different from what is expected.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Base Unit of Measure: Verify the base unit of measure for the characteristic in the DataStore. Ensure that it matches the unit of measure of the data being loaded.
  
  Go to the DataStore object in the SAP BW modeling tools and check the settings for the characteristic in question.
  
  
  
  Review Data Source: Check the data source from which you are loading the data. Ensure that the unit of measure in the source system matches the expected unit of measure in the DataStore.
  
  If necessary, adjust the data source or transformation rules to ensure consistency.
  
  
  
  Correct Master Data: If the issue is related to master data, review the master data for the materials or products involved. Ensure that the base unit of measure is correctly defined and consistent across all relevant objects.
  
  You may need to update the master data in the source system or in the BW system.
  
  
  
  Transformation Logic: If you are using transformation logic to convert units of measure, ensure that the logic is correctly implemented and that it handles the conversion appropriately.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the data load again to ensure that the error is resolved.
