This can happen during various processes, such as planning, order processing, or inventory management.
  Causes:
  
  
  Unit of Measure (UoM) Configuration: The error may arise if the unit of measure is not properly defined in the system. This includes missing conversion factors or incorrect settings in the material master data.
  
  
  Inconsistent Data: If there are inconsistencies in the data related to the material, such as different units of measure being used in different transactions or master data records, it can lead to conversion errors.
  
  
  Missing Conversion Factors: If the conversion factors between the base unit of measure and the alternative units of measure are not maintained, the system will not be able to perform the conversion.
  
  
  Data Type Issues: Sometimes, the error can be caused by data type mismatches, such as trying to convert a string to a numeric value.
  
  
  Custom Code or Enhancements: If there are custom developments or enhancements in the system that manipulate quantity conversions, they may introduce errors.

  Maintain Conversion Factors: If conversion factors are missing, you can maintain them in the material master under the "Units of Measure" tab.
