  Dimension Mismatch: The unit of measure (UoM) being used in the calculation does not match the expected dimensions defined in the system. For example, if a formula expects a unit of measure in "tons" but receives "liters," this error can occur.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the units of measure or the dimensions associated with them may not be set up correctly in the system.
  Formula Definition Issues: The formula itself may be incorrectly defined, leading to the use of incompatible units of measure.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry in the relevant fields can lead to this error, especially if the wrong unit of measure is selected.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Unit of Measure: Verify that the unit of measure being used in the calculation matches the expected dimensions. Ensure that the UoM is appropriate for the context of the calculation.
  Review Formula Configuration: Go to the formula configuration in SAP and check the definitions. Ensure that the units of measure and their dimensions are correctly defined and aligned with the expected inputs.
