Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Unit of Measure: The unit of measure (UoM) specified in the transaction is not allowed for the material or the specific context (e.g., sales order, purchase order).
  Configuration Issues: The UoM may not be properly configured in the material master or may not be assigned to the relevant material type.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:

  Adjust Transaction:
  
  If you are entering a transaction (like a sales order or purchase order), ensure that you are using a valid UoM for that specific transaction type.
  If necessary, change the UoM to one that is permitted for the material.
