  • What causes this issue?

    You have entered the unit &V1& for this <GL:operation>operation</> on
    <GL:completion_confirmation>completion confirmation</>.
    No unit has been maintained in the <GL:standard_value>standard
    values</> for this operation. You should note the system response.

    System Response

    The system will copy the unit entered into the standard values of the
    operation. This means that after you have saved, any further
    confirmation for this operation can be made in a unit that has the same
    dimension as that of the unit you have entered.
    Example:
    You confirm <ZH>hours</>. The dimension is therefore <ZH>time</>. From
    now on, you can therefore enter confirmations for this operation in
    <ZH>seconds</>, <ZH>minutes</>, <ZH>days</> and so on, but not in
    <ZH>meters</>, for example, since this is a unit belonging to the
    dimension <ZH>length</>.

    How to fix this error?

    Check that you have entered the required unit.
