  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to transaction code MM03 (Display Material) and enter the material number.
  Check the "Basic Data" and "Sales Org. Data" or "Purchasing" views to see if the unit of measure is defined.

  Ensure that the UoM is set up correctly in the "Units of Measure" section of the material master.
  
  
  
  Check UoM Conversion:
  
  If you are using multiple units of measure, ensure that the conversion factors are correctly defined in the material master.
  
  
  
  Configuration Check:

  Navigate to Logistics - General > Material Master > Basic Settings > Units of Measure to ensure that the UoM is properly configured.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct UoM to use, consult your organization's documentation or speak with a colleague who is knowledgeable about the materials and their specifications.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
