Specifically, it states that both the sales unit and the base unit of measure are missing for the item identified by the placeholders &1 (item number) and &2 (material number).
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Missing Configuration: The material master data for the item does not have the sales unit of measure or the base unit of measure defined. This can happen if the material was created without specifying these units.
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data, such as changes made to the material master that were not properly updated in related documents.
  
  
  Incorrect Sales Document Type: The sales document type being used may not be compatible with the material or may not have the necessary settings to handle the units of measure.

  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).

  Review Sales Document:
  
  Check the sales document (transaction code VA03) to ensure that it is correctly configured and that the item in question is properly referenced.
