Key figure issue

Question

I am loading some data from a flat file to a cube. The file does not supply base unit of measure and currency as a field. And I have that in my info source , because of that when I run the query I am seeing the symbol "ERR" next to the key figures.
So I thought of writting a routine for the individual key figures in the update rules and the routine is :
PROGRAM UPDATE_ROUTINE.
$$ begin of global - insert your declaration only below this line  -
TABLES: ...
DATA:   ...
DATA: IN    TYPE F,
      OUT   TYPE F,
      DENOM TYPE F,
      NUMER TYPE F.
DATA: DEB_CRED(2) TYPE C VALUE 'HK'.
DATA: QUOT(1) TYPE C VALUE 'B'.
constants: c_msgty_e value 'E'.
$$ end of global - insert your declaration only before this line   -
FORM compute_data_field
  TABLES   MONITOR STRUCTURE RSMONITOR "user defined monitoring
  USING    COMM_STRUCTURE LIKE /BIC/CSZSD_SALHIST_HDR
           RECORD_NO LIKE SY-TABIX
           RECORD_ALL LIKE SY-TABIX
           SOURCE_SYSTEM LIKE RSUPDSIMULH-LOGSYS
  CHANGING RESULT LIKE /BIC/VZSD_C03T-SUBTOT_2S
           UNIT LIKE /BIC/VZSD_C03T-STAT_CURR
           RETURNCODE LIKE SY-SUBRC
           ABORT LIKE SY-SUBRC. "set ABORT <> 0 to cancel update
$$ begin of routine - insert your code only below this line        -
fill the internal table "MONITOR", to make monitor entries
<b>* result value of the routine
  RESULT = COMM_STRUCTURE-SUBTOT_2S.
result value of the unit
  UNIT = 'USD'.</b>* if the returncode is not equal zero, the result will not be updated
  RETURNCODE = 0.
if abort is not equal zero, the update process will be canceled
  ABORT = 0.
$$ end of routine - insert your code only before this line         -
ENDFORM.
But now when I am loading the data , it is takin very long. I want move this code to the start routine. I have the same code for the key figures also.
I know I can get rid of the error using "NO DIM " function in BEX but I do not want the users to do that .
Thanks

Hi Jimmy,
You may in transfer rules just assign your currency to 'USD' constant. You can assign a constant to unit too (if you know it) - or assign a routine if you know the logic of the unit determination.
