  The SAP error message L2413 indicates that the unit of measure (UoM) specified for a material is not allowed in the context of the operation you are trying to perform. This error typically occurs in inventory management, material master data, or during transactions involving materials.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Unit of Measure: The unit of measure you are trying to use for the material is not defined or not allowed for that specific material type or transaction.
  Material Master Configuration: The material master may not have the correct UoM settings. For example, the base unit of measure might not match the UoM you are trying to use.
  UoM Conversion Issues: If there are conversion factors defined between different units of measure, they may not be set up correctly.
