  Review Material Master Data: Check the material master data for the affected material. Ensure that the unit of measure is correct and consistent with what is expected in the planning and production processes.

  Unit of Measure Settings: Familiarize yourself with the settings in the SAP system related to units of measure, including conversion factors and how they are defined in the material master.
  
  
  Impact on Production: Understand the impact of changing the unit of measure on production schedules, inventory management, and reporting.
