How to fix this error?

Specify the unit of measurement.
During determination of gas factors (for example, in gas billing), the
quantities issued per month are multiplied by the calorific values of
the corresponding calorific value districts. This only occurs provided
that in the <DS:DE.BWVERF>calorific value procedure</> for the
<DS:DE.THGVER>gas procedure</>, the weighted calculation of average
value is set according to the table for energy feeding per calorific
value district.
The unit of measurement (for volume) to which the
<DS:GLOS.calorific_value>calorific value</> refers must be maintained
for the quantities issued.
