  Cause:

  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If the UoM settings are incorrect, you may need to adjust the configuration in the material master or the controlling area settings.
  Ensure that the UoM used in the assignment and shadow item is consistent with the settings in the system.
  
  
  
  Data Correction:
  
  If the error is due to incorrect data entry, correct the entries in the relevant documents or master data.
  You may need to delete and recreate the assignment or shadow item with the correct UoM.
