  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors when defining setup times in the routing or work center can lead to this issue.
  Missing Conversion Factors: If the conversion factors between the units of measure are not defined or are incorrect, the system will not be able to convert the setup time properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Unit of Measure: Verify the unit of measure for the setup time in the routing and ensure it matches the base unit of measure defined for the material in the material master.
  Review Routing and Work Center: Go to the routing and work center definitions and check the setup time entries. Ensure that they are correctly defined and consistent with the base unit of measure.
  Adjust Conversion Factors: If there are conversion factors involved, ensure that they are correctly defined in the system. You can check this in the configuration settings for units of measure.
  Correct Data Entry: If there are any manual entries that seem incorrect, correct them to ensure that the setup time is defined in a compatible unit of measure.
