This error typically occurs when you are trying to perform an operation that requires a valid unit of measurement, but the system cannot find one associated with the material or the transaction you are attempting to execute.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Unit of Measurement: The material you are working with does not have a unit of measurement defined in the material master data.
  Incorrect Configuration: The unit of measurement might not be correctly configured in the system, or it may not be assigned to the material.

  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the Material Master (Transaction Code: MM03).
