  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE735, which states "Invalid unit of measure. Select a valid UoM," typically occurs when a user attempts to enter or process a unit of measure (UoM) that is not recognized or valid within the context of the transaction or data entry they are performing. This can happen in various SAP modules, such as Materials Management (MM) or Sales and Distribution (SD).
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect UoM Entry: The user may have entered a UoM that does not exist in the system or is not valid for the specific material or transaction.
  Missing UoM Configuration: The UoM may not be defined in the system for the material being processed.
  Material Master Issues: The material master record may not have the correct UoM settings or may be incomplete.
  Unit of Measure Conversion: If there are conversion factors defined, they may not be set up correctly, leading to invalid UoM entries.
  Transaction Context: The UoM may be valid in one context (e.g., purchasing) but not in another (e.g., sales).
