This error typically occurs when you are trying to perform an operation that requires a valid unit of measure for a material, such as creating a purchase order, sales order, or inventory transaction.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Unit of Measure: The primary cause of this error is that the unit of measure for the material has not been defined in the material master record.
  Incorrect Configuration: The unit of measure might not be correctly configured in the system, or the material might not be assigned to the correct UoM group.

  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction code MM03 (Display Material) and enter the material number.
  Check the "Basic Data" and "Purchasing" views to see if the unit of measure is maintained.

  Check UoM Group:
  
  Ensure that the material is assigned to the correct unit of measure group. This can be checked in the "Basic Data" view of the material master.
  If the UoM group is incorrect, you may need to change it.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  If you have access, check the configuration settings for units of measure in the SAP system. This can be done through transaction code OMN3 (Maintain Units of Measure).
  Ensure that the UoM is defined and active in the system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct UoM to use, consult your organization's documentation or speak with a colleague who is knowledgeable about the material in question.
