  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) for the affected material.
  Verify the unit of measure settings. Ensure that 'Each (EA)' is defined as the base unit of measure.
  If necessary, update the material master to include 'Each (EA)' as the appropriate unit of measure.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Data:
  
  If the error occurs during a specific transaction (e.g., sales order, purchase order), review the details of that transaction.
  Ensure that the unit of measure selected is 'Each (EA)'.
  
  
  
  Configuration Review:
  
  If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to units of measure in the relevant modules (MM, SD, etc.).
