This error typically occurs in the context of logistics and shipping processes when dealing with item quantities and units of measure.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Mismatch: The base unit of measure for the item in the SAP system (base unit &3) does not match the base unit of measure provided in the API request (base unit &2).
  Data Entry Error: There may be a mistake in the data being sent through the OData API, such as incorrect unit of measure or item number.
  Configuration Issues: The item master data may not be correctly configured, leading to discrepancies in the base unit of measure.

  Ensure that the item is set up correctly in the system with the appropriate units of measure.
  
  
  
  Correct API Request:
  
  Review the OData API request to ensure that the base unit of measure being sent (base unit &2) matches the base unit of measure defined in the item master data.
  If necessary, adjust the API request to use the correct base unit of measure.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that all relevant data is consistent across the system. This includes checking for any recent changes to the item master data that may not have been reflected in the API request.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
