This error indicates that there is an attempt to change the unit of measure for weight or volume in a context where it is not allowed.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Context: The error often arises when trying to change the unit of measure in a transaction or screen where it is not permitted, such as during certain types of document processing or in specific views.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the material master or in the relevant module that restrict changes to units of measure.
  Data Inconsistencies: If there are inconsistencies in the data related to the material master or the transaction being processed, it may trigger this error.
  Locked Records: The record you are trying to modify may be locked by another user or process, preventing changes.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check the Context: Ensure that you are in the correct transaction or screen where changing the unit of measure is allowed. For example, changing the unit of measure is typically done in the material master rather than during a transaction.
  Review Material Master Settings: Go to the material master (transaction MM03) and check the units of measure defined for the material. Ensure that the base unit of measure is correctly set and that any alternative units of measure are properly configured.
  Consult Configuration: If you have access, check the configuration settings in SPRO related to units of measure and ensure that they are set up correctly.
  Data Consistency Check: Run any relevant reports or transactions to check for data inconsistencies in the material master or related documents.
  User Lock Check: Verify if the record is locked by another user. You can use transaction SM12 to check for locks and release them if necessary.
