  The SAP error message /SCMB/MD_CHECKTABLES119 indicates that there is a missing definition for the unit of measure (UoM) for technical distances associated with a specific equipment type in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) or Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) modules, where technical distances are used for planning and logistics purposes.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of a defined unit of measure for the technical distances of the specified equipment type (denoted by &1 in the error message). This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Configuration: The unit of measure for the equipment type has not been set up in the system.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be a typo or incorrect entry in the configuration settings.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was recently transported from another system, it may not have included the necessary UoM definitions.
