  The SAP error message /SCF/CL_MESSAGES_SMI070: Unit of measure is not consistent with base unit of measure typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the unit of measure (UoM) used in a transaction and the base unit of measure defined for a material or product in the system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during the creation of purchase orders, sales orders, or inventory management activities.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in UoM: The unit of measure used in the transaction does not match the base unit of measure defined for the material in the material master.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for units of measure in the material master may not be set up correctly.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the "Basic Data" view to confirm the base unit of measure.
