This error typically occurs in the context of materials management, particularly when dealing with inventory, purchasing, or production processes.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Mismatch: The primary cause of this error is that the unit of measure defined for the material does not match the unit of measure expected for the specific transaction or process.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the material master data or in the settings for the relevant transaction.

  Update Related Documents:
  
  If the material master has been changed, ensure that all related documents (like purchase orders, sales orders, etc.) are updated to reflect the correct unit of measure.
