This error typically arises in the context of SAP Advanced Information Management (AIN) or when dealing with integration scenarios where UoMs are involved.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to maintain the ISO code for the specific UoM that is causing the issue. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Identify the UoM: Check the error message to identify the specific UoM (represented by &1 in the error message).
  
  
  Access UoM Configuration:

  Maintain ISO Code:
  
  In the UoM configuration screen, find the UoM that corresponds to the one mentioned in the error message.
  Check if the ISO code field is empty or not maintained.
  If it is empty, enter the appropriate ISO code for that UoM. You can refer to the ISO 4217 standard for currency codes or ISO 1000 for other units of measure.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After entering the ISO code, save your changes.
  
  
  Test the Process: Retry the process that generated the error to ensure that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  ISO Codes: Familiarize yourself with the relevant ISO standards for units of measure. ISO 4217 is commonly used for currency, while ISO 1000 covers other units.
  Unit of Measure Settings: Ensure that all necessary UoMs used in your business processes are properly configured with their respective ISO codes to avoid similar issues in the future.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on managing UoMs and ISO codes.
