What causes this issue?

During Gross/Net volume UoM substitution an error has occurred
(Function module GROSS_NET_UNIT_CHECK).

System Response

The specified unit of measure '&V1&' is not a volume unit of measure.
Gross/Net volume UoM substitution is only designed for volume unit of
measures. Therefore the call of function module GROSS_NET_UNIT_CHECK
does not make sense.

How to fix this error?

The following explanation concerns customizing of Gross/net volume unit
of measure substitution in the R/3 system. If you do not have detailed
knowledge in that area or if you do not have the appropriate
authorizations, contact your system administrator.
Check from where the function module GROSS_NET_UNIT_CHECK is called.
The calling modularization unit should ensure:
that the function module is only called for volume unit of measures
or that it handles the exception 'NO_VOLUME_UNIT' of the function
module correctly.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
