What causes this issue?

Item &v3& is part of a predecessor document chain, that is, it refers

The system tried to process one or more items of the predecessor
document chain that has item &v1& as its highest level predecessor

How to fix this error?

Correct the revenue accounting items of the predecessor document chain
that have a different quantity unit and process the chain again.
