  Unit of Measure (UoM) Configuration: The material master may have a different base unit of measure than what is being used in the transaction.
  Inconsistent Data Entry: The user may have entered a quantity in a unit that is not compatible with the unit defined for the material.
  Conversion Issues: If there are conversion factors defined between different units of measure, they may not be set up correctly.
