  • What causes this issue?

    Referenced operation set with group &V1& and group counter &V2& has a
    different header unit than the operation set with group counter &V3& of
    the task list group which has been processed.
    This causes an error when further processing the routing (for
    example, when creating an order).
    Units in the task list header must be the same, or else converting
    standard values is inconsistent.

    Check the unit in the task list header.
