  Material Master Data Issues: Problems with the material master data, such as missing information or incorrect settings for the material's UoM, can also trigger this error.
  
  
  Location-Specific Settings: The error may be related to specific settings or configurations for the location in question, which may not align with the material's requirements.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors during transactions can lead to incorrect quantity inputs, causing conversion issues.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Unit of Measure Settings: Verify that the unit of measure for the material is correctly defined in the material master. Ensure that the UoM used in the transaction matches the expected UoM.
  
  
  Review Conversion Factors: Go to the material master and check the conversion factors for the different units of measure. Ensure that they are correctly defined and that there are no missing entries.
  
  
  Validate Material Master Data: Review the material master data for the affected material. Ensure that all necessary fields are filled out correctly, especially those related to UoM and conversion settings.
