Specifically, the error states that the only valid unit for SNP PPMs is "days."
  Cause:

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Unit of Measure:
  
  Ensure that the unit of measure you are using for the SNP PPM is set to "days." If you are using a different unit (e.g., hours, weeks), change it to "days."
  
  
  
  Modify the PPM:

  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for SNP PPMs in your SAP system. Ensure that the settings allow for the correct unit of measure and that there are no restrictions or customizations that might be causing this issue.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
