This error typically arises in scenarios involving material planning, production planning, or inventory management where a unit of measure is essential for processing transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Unit of Measure: The most common cause is that the material master record does not have a unit of measure defined for the specific transaction or context.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings in the material master or the relevant planning parameters may not be set up correctly.
  Data Entry Error: During data entry, the unit of measure may have been omitted or incorrectly entered.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Verify that the unit of measure is defined in the Basic Data view and any relevant views (like Sales, Purchasing, etc.).
  If the UoM is missing, you can add it using transaction code MM02 to change the material master.

  Consult Documentation:

  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
