  Recreate RFQ: If the RFQ is significantly flawed, consider recreating it from scratch after ensuring that all necessary data, including UoM, is correctly entered.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct UoM to use, consult your organization's documentation or speak with a colleague who is knowledgeable about the materials and their specifications.
