This error typically arises when the unit of measure specified for a material is not compatible with the conditions defined in the pricing procedure or the material master data.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Unit of Measure: The unit of measure specified for the material in the transaction does not match the allowed units of measure defined in the material master or pricing conditions.
  Missing Configuration: The unit of measure may not be configured correctly in the system, or it may not be included in the allowed units for the specific condition type.
