  Adjust Material Master Data: If you find discrepancies, you may need to adjust the material master data for one or both materials to ensure they have the same unit of measure.
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, check the configuration settings for material types and units of measure in the SAP system. Ensure that the settings align with your business requirements.
