This error indicates that a required field for the "Basis Unit of Measure" (UoM) is not filled in, which is essential for processing pricing information.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Data: The Basis UoM field is not populated in the relevant material master record or during the mass pricing process.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
