  The SAP error message GA760 "No unit of measure defined for receiver" typically occurs in the context of financial accounting or controlling when a transaction is being processed that requires a unit of measure (UoM) for a specific receiver (such as a cost center, internal order, or other accounting object). This error indicates that the system cannot find a defined unit of measure for the specified receiver, which is necessary for the transaction to be completed.
  Causes:

  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the relevant modules (e.g., Controlling (CO), Materials Management (MM), or Financial Accounting (FI)).
  Master Data Issues: The master data for the receiver may not be properly maintained, leading to missing or incorrect unit of measure settings.
