  Solution:
  
  Check Units of Measure: Verify that all quantities involved in the compensation are expressed in the same unit of measure. If they are not, convert them to a common unit before proceeding with the compensation.
  Review Material Master Data: Ensure that the material master data is correctly configured with the appropriate base unit of measure and any alternative units of measure that may be needed.
  Adjust Transaction Data: If the error occurs during a specific transaction, review the data entered in that transaction to ensure that all quantities are consistent in terms of measurement units.
  Use Conversion Functions: If necessary, use SAP's unit conversion functions to convert quantities to a common unit before performing the compensation.
