  The SAP error message /SCWM/UI_GR068 typically indicates an issue related to the conversion of quantities between different units of measure (UoM) in the SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error often arises when the system is unable to find a valid conversion factor for the specified EAN (European Article Number) or when the UoM conversion is not properly defined in the system.

  Incorrect EAN: The EAN being used may not be correctly assigned to the material or may not exist in the system.
