  The SAP error message OIJ_IF_EXT104, which states "Unit of measure &1 is not defined for material &2," typically occurs in the context of SAP Oil and Gas (OIJ) when there is an issue with the unit of measure (UoM) configuration for a specific material in the system. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Missing Unit of Measure: The specified unit of measure (UoM) for the material is not defined in the system. This can happen if the UoM was never set up or if it was deleted.
  Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master data may not have the correct UoM assigned, or the UoM may not be valid for the specific transaction being processed.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the UoM from being recognized for the material.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, there may have been errors in the migration process that resulted in missing UoM definitions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the Material Master (transaction code MM03) and check the UoM settings for the material in question. Ensure that the UoM is defined and correctly assigned.
  Verify that the UoM is valid for the specific plant and storage location.
  
  
  
  Define Unit of Measure:
  
  If the UoM is missing, you can define it in the system. Use transaction code CUNI to create or modify units of measure.
  Ensure that the UoM is linked to the appropriate material type and is set up correctly in the system.
  
  
  
  Check UoM Conversion:
  
  If the material uses multiple UoMs, ensure that the conversion factors between the UoMs are defined correctly in the material master.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in SPRO (SAP Reference IMG) under Logistics General > Material Master > Basic Settings > Units of Measure to ensure that the UoM is configured correctly.
  
  
  
  Data Migration Review:
  
  If the issue arose after a data migration, review the migration logs and ensure that all necessary data, including UoM definitions, was migrated correctly.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on managing units of measure and material master data.
