  The SAP error message FRMLMSC881 indicates that the system is unable to find a unit of measure for the target input quantity in the database. This error typically occurs in the context of material management, production planning, or when dealing with formulas and recipes in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Unit of Measure: The most common cause is that the unit of measure for the target input quantity has not been defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for the material or the formula may not be set up correctly, leading to the system not recognizing the unit of measure.
