Specifically, it occurs when the unit of measurement for one characteristic does not match the unit of measurement for another characteristic that is being compared or used together in a configuration.

  Solution:
  
  Check Characteristic Definitions: Go to the characteristic definitions in the SAP system and verify the units of measurement for both characteristics involved
