  The SAP error message O8360 indicates that a specific unit of measure (UoM) has not been defined as a volume unit of measure in the system. This error typically arises when you are trying to perform operations that require a volume unit of measure, but the system does not recognize the specified unit as valid for volume-related transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Undefined Unit of Measure: The unit of measure you are trying to use is not defined in the system as a volume unit.
