What causes this issue?

You wish to create a release order against a contract.
The contract item, which was created without a material number,
contains the <DS:GLOS.3526C0C9AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>order unit</>
&V2&. In the release order, you have entered a material that has the
<DS:GLOS.3526BF21AFAB52B9E10000009B38F974>base unit of measure</> &V1&.
The base unit &V1& of the material cannot be converted into the order
unit &V2& of the contract item. The entry is therefore not allowed.

How to fix this error?

Check the contract entered or maintain conversion factors in the
material master record where necessary.
<DS:TRAN.MM02>Change material master</>

06739 - Details

• The SAP error message "06739 Base unit &1 and order unit &2 incompatible" typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the base unit of measure and the order unit of measure for a material in a purchasing or inventory management context. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when creating purchase orders, production orders, or inventory transactions.

  Unit of Measure Configuration: The base unit of measure (UoM) defined for the material does not match the order unit of measure being used in the transaction. For example, if the base unit is set to "pieces" and the order unit is set to "boxes," and the conversion factor is not defined or is incorrect, this error can occur.
  Material Master Data: The material master data may not be correctly configured. The base unit of measure and the order unit of measure must be compatible.
  Conversion Factors: If there are no conversion factors defined
