  The SAP error message FRMLCALC024 indicates that a specific unit of measure (UoM) referenced in a formula or calculation does not exist in the system. This error typically arises in the context of formula calculations, especially in modules like SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO).
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Unit: The unit of measure specified in the formula or calculation does not exist in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The unit may have been deleted or not properly configured in the system.
  Typographical Error: There may be a typo in the unit of measure name or code.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Unit of Measure:
  
  Verify the unit of measure you are trying to use. Ensure that it is correctly spelled and exists in the system.
  You can check this in the SAP GUI by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., CUNI for unit of measure conversion).

  If the unit exists but is not configured correctly, update the settings as necessary.
  
  
  
  Review Formula Configuration:
  
  Go to the formula or calculation where the error is occurring and check the units being used. Ensure that all units referenced are valid and exist in the system.
