  The SAP error message /ACCGO/CAS_QF057 Assignment UoM &1 differs from the base UoM &2; shadow item &3|&4 typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when dealing with materials and their unit of measure (UoM) assignments. This error indicates that there is a mismatch between the unit of measure assigned to a specific item and the base unit of measure defined for that material.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Mismatch: The primary cause of this error is that the unit of measure (UoM) assigned to a specific item (e.g., a shadow item in a document) does not match the base unit of measure defined for the material in the material master.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be incorrect configuration in the material master data, where the UoM settings are not aligned properly.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors during the creation or modification of documents can lead to this mismatch.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data: 
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and verify the base unit of measure and the alternative units of measure. Ensure that the UoM used in the document matches the base UoM.

  If the document has been created with an incorrect UoM, you may need to reverse or adjust the document to use the correct UoM that aligns with the base UoM of the material.
