What causes this issue?

Your SAP system tried to map the vendor material number for a Returnable
Packaging (RTP) item in the incoming XML to the corresponding ERP
material. To do this, it searched through your vendor info records.
However, the system has located several vendor info records in which
this vendor material number is mapped to different ERP materials with
different units of measurement (UoM).

System Response

Since the system cannot find one unique combination of ERP material and
UoM to map to the vendor material number, the purchase order validation
is stopped.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
