  Check Unit of Measure: Review the items involved in the transaction and ensure that they all have the same unit of measure. If they do not, you may need to convert them to a common unit of measure.
  Adjust Material Master Data: If the issue is related to material master data, check the UoM settings in the material master for the affected items. Ensure that the base unit of measure and alternative units of measure are correctly defined.
  Review Freight Settings: If applicable, check the freight settings in the system to ensure that they are configured to handle different units of measure appropriately.
  Data Entry Verification: Verify that all data entries are correct and consistent. If there are discrepancies, correct them before processing the items again.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling unit of measure issues in your version of SAP.
