This error indicates that the unit of measure (UoM) you are trying to use is not defined as a parallel unit of measure for the material in question.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Configuration: The unit of measure you are trying to use is not set up as a parallel unit of measure in the material master data.
  Material Master Data: The material may not have the necessary UoM settings configured correctly in the material master.
  Transaction Context: The error may arise during specific transactions where a parallel unit of measure is required, such as during goods movements, stock transfers, or inventory management.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the "Units of Measure" view to see if the unit of measure you are trying to use is listed as a parallel unit of measure.
  If it is not listed, you will need to add it.
  
  
  
  Add Parallel Unit of Measure:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can add the required unit of measure as a parallel unit of measure.
  Go to the transaction MM02 to change the material master.
  Navigate to the "Units of Measure" view and add the required UoM as a parallel unit.
  
  
  
  Consult with Your SAP Administrator:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, consult with your SAP administrator or the person responsible for material master data management in your organization.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  Ensure that the configuration settings for units of measure in the system are correctly set up. This may involve checking the settings in the customizing transaction SPRO.

  Parallel Units of Measure: In SAP, parallel units of measure allow for the use of different units of measure for the same material, which can be useful for various business processes.
  Material Master Views: The material master has several views, and the "Units of Measure" view is crucial for defining how materials can be handled in different units.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more detailed information on managing units of measure and material master data.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, further investigation may be required, potentially involving SAP support or consulting services.
