  The SAP error message G0769, which states "Cons unit is set, cons group is missing," typically occurs in the context of inventory management or material master data. This error indicates that a consumption unit (cons unit) has been defined for a material, but the corresponding consumption group (cons group) has not been set up or is missing.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The consumption group is not defined in the system for the material in question.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the material master data where the consumption unit is specified, but the related consumption group is not.

  Update Material Master:
