  The SAP error message FD011 indicates that there is an issue with the unit of measure (UoM) assignment for a specific item in the system. This error typically arises when the system cannot find a valid ISO unit of measure for the item in question, which can prevent transactions from being processed correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Missing UoM Assignment: The item does not have a valid ISO unit of measure assigned in the material master or in the relevant configuration settings.
