  The SAP error message RDM_OPT_OUTBOUND103 indicates that there is an issue with the conversion factor for a specific unit of measure (UoM) related to a material. This error typically arises in scenarios where the system is trying to convert quantities between different units of measure, but it cannot find the necessary conversion factor.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Conversion Factor: The most common cause is that the conversion factor for the specified unit of measure is not defined in the system for the material in question.
  Incorrect UoM Configuration: The unit of measure might not be properly configured in the material master or in the relevant UoM tables.
