  The SAP error message K/823 "No unit of measure for CO-PA valuation with transfer prices" typically occurs in the context of Controlling (CO) and Profitability Analysis (CO-PA) when there is an issue with the unit of measure (UoM) for the valuation of transfer prices. This error can arise during the posting of documents or during the execution of certain transactions related to CO-PA.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Unit of Measure: The most common cause of this error is that the system cannot find a valid unit of measure for the material or service being transferred. This can happen if the material master data is incomplete or if the relevant UoM is not defined in the system.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration settings in CO-PA or the transfer pricing settings in the system. This includes settings related to valuation methods, pricing procedures, or the assignment of UoM in the material master.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the master data or transaction data that lead to the inability to determine the UoM for the valuation.
  
  
  Solution:

  Review CO-PA Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in CO-PA (transaction code OKKP) to ensure that the valuation methods and transfer pricing settings are correctly defined. Make sure that the UoM is correctly assigned in the pricing procedure.
  
  
  
  Update UoM in Master Data:
  
  If the UoM is missing, you may need to update the material master or service master data to include the necessary UoM.
  
  
  
  Check Transfer Pricing Settings:
