  The SAP error message EDESK_ERP_IPPE042 indicates that a unit of measure (UoM) in your system does not have an associated ISO code. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly when dealing with international trade or data exchange where standardized units of measure are required.
  Cause:
  
  Missing ISO Code: The unit of measure defined in the system does not have a corresponding ISO code assigned to it. ISO codes are standardized codes that represent units of measure (e.g., "kg" for kilograms, "m" for meters).

  Solution:
  
  
  Assign ISO Code:
  
  Go to the transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure Conversion).
  Check the units of measure defined in your system.
  For the specific unit of measure that is causing the error, ensure that an ISO code is assigned. If it is missing, you can add the appropriate ISO code.
  
  
  
  Use Standard Units: If possible, use standard units of measure that already have ISO codes assigned to avoid this issue.
  
  
  Check Custom Units: If you are using custom units, consider whether they need to be standardized or if you can map them to existing standard units with ISO codes.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or functional team to ensure that the units of measure are correctly configured.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the relevant transactions to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
