  Adjust Unit of Measure: If the standard value is in a different unit (like minutes or seconds), consider converting it to hours or adjusting the configuration to accept the current unit.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings for units of measure in the SAP system. Ensure that the necessary conversion factors are defined correctly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to set up units of measure and standard values correctly.
