Specifically, it points out that the Unit of Measure (UoM) is missing either from the ASN item or from the Handling Unit (HU) associated with that item.
  Cause:
  
  Missing UoM in ASN Item: The ASN item does not have a defined Unit of Measure, which is necessary for calculating the net weight.
  Missing UoM in Handling Unit: The Handling Unit (HU) associated with the ASN item lacks a defined Unit of Measure.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the UoM from being correctly assigned or recognized.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect or incomplete data entry during the creation of the ASN or the Handling Unit.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check ASN Item:
  
  Navigate to the ASN document in SAP and verify that the UoM is correctly defined for the item in question.
  If the UoM is missing, you will need to enter the correct UoM for that item.
  
  
  
  Check Handling Unit:
  
  Review the Handling Unit associated with the ASN item to ensure that it has a UoM defined.

  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to the handling of Units of Measure. Ensure that the necessary settings are in place to allow for proper UoM assignment.
