This error typically arises when the system is unable to determine how to round quantities due to the absence of a defined unit of measure.

  Missing Unit of Measure: The most common cause is that the relevant material or product does not have a unit of measure defined in the master data.

  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the APO system related to units of measure. Ensure that the settings for rounding and unit conversions are correctly defined.
  Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the master data to identify any discrepancies that might be causing the issue. This can often be done using transaction codes like /SAPAPO/TS or similar tools.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the ATP logic to identify where the unit of measure is being referenced and why it is not being found.
