  The SAP error message EAML111, which states "Unit of measurement for marker &1 not valid," typically occurs in the context of materials management or production planning when the system encounters an issue with the unit of measurement (UoM) assigned to a specific marker or material.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Unit of Measurement: The unit of measurement assigned to the marker (material) is not recognized by the system. This could be due to a typo, a missing entry in the UoM table, or the UoM being deactivated.
  Configuration Issues: The unit of measurement may not be properly configured in the system, or it may not be assigned to the relevant material type.
  Master Data Issues: The material master data for the marker may be incomplete or incorrect, leading to the system not recognizing the UoM.
  Cross-Plant or Cross-Company Code Issues: If the marker is used across different plants or company codes, there may be inconsistencies in the UoM definitions.

  Check the Unit of Measurement:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the UoM assigned to the marker.

  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Ensure that all relevant fields in the material master are filled out correctly, especially in the Basic Data and Purchasing views.
  If necessary, update the material master with the correct UoM.
