  Cause:
  This error typically arises when:
  
  Inconsistent Units: The quantities involved in the operation are not all expressed in compatible units of mass. For example, if some quantities are in kilograms and others are in grams or liters, the system may not be able to perform the necessary conversions.
  Missing Data: There may be missing or incomplete data for certain materials or components that are required for the conversion process.
  Configuration Issues: There could be configuration issues in the material master data or in the settings related to the specific module (like PLM or EHS) that is being used.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Units of Measure:
  
  Ensure that all quantities involved in the calculation are expressed in the same unit of mass. Convert any quantities that are not in the correct unit.
  You can use transaction codes like MM03 to check the material master data and see the units of measure defined for the materials.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Verify that all relevant materials have the correct unit of measure and that the conversion factors are properly defined.
  Ensure that the material types and their associated settings are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Data Completeness:
  
  Check if all necessary data for the calculation is available and complete. This includes ensuring that all relevant components and their quantities are defined.
