  Check Scale Base Definition: Review the definition of the scale base in the TMS configuration. Ensure that the scale base is defined as a numeric type.
  Correct Data Entry: If you find that a non-numeric value has been entered, correct it to a valid numeric value.
  Review Configuration Settings: Go through the configuration settings for the scales in TMS to ensure that all parameters are set correctly and that the scale base is appropriate for the type of scale you are trying to create.
