  The SAP error message G0326, which states "No lead column 'Unit of measure' defined," typically occurs in the context of reporting or data analysis within SAP systems, particularly when working with queries or reports that involve unit of measure (UoM) fields.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The error usually indicates that the system is unable to find a defined lead column for the unit of measure in the context of the report or query being executed. This can happen if the report is not properly configured to include the UoM as a lead column.
  Data Model Issues: If the underlying data model or InfoProvider does not have the necessary attributes or characteristics defined for the unit of measure, this error can occur.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Query Configuration:
  
  Open the query in the Query Designer.
  Ensure that the "Unit of Measure" is included as a lead column in the query definition.

  Make sure that the UoM is included in the relevant characteristics or key figures.
  
  
  
  Adjust Report Settings:
  
  If you are using a report that pulls data from a query, ensure that the report settings are correctly configured to include the unit of measure.
  Verify that any filters or selections applied do not exclude the UoM.

  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on configuring lead columns and handling unit of measure in your version of SAP.
