This can happen in various contexts, such as during the processing of sales orders, purchase orders, or inventory management.
  Cause:
  
  Undefined Unit of Measure: The specified unit of measure (represented by &1 in the error message) is not defined in the SAP system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The unit of measure may not be properly configured in the relevant master data (e.g., material master, vendor master).
  Data Entry Error: There may be a typo or incorrect entry when specifying the unit of measure in the transaction.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Unit of Measure Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure Conversion) to check if the unit of measure exists in the system.

  Check for Typos:
  
  Review the input data for any typos or incorrect entries related to the unit of measure.
