Specifically, it means that the system encountered a problem converting the quantity for a particular item in the document, and as a result, that item has been skipped.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:

  Configuration Review: Review the configuration settings related to units of measure and quantity conversions in the EWM system. Ensure that they are set up correctly.
  
  
  Check for Data Inconsistencies: Run consistency checks on the relevant data to identify any discrepancies that may be causing the issue.
