  The SAP error message /SPE/ID_HANDLING061 indicates that there is an issue with unit of measure (UOM) conversion for a specific item in the system. The message states that the calculation of the characteristic quantity (CQ) could not be performed because the necessary conversion data is not available.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing UOM Conversion Data: The primary cause of this error is that the system lacks the necessary conversion factors between the units of measure for the item in question. This can happen if the UOMs are not properly defined in the material master or if the conversion factors are not maintained.

  Verify that the UOMs are correctly defined and that the conversion factors between the base unit of measure and the alternative units of measure are maintained.
  
  
  
  Maintain UOM Conversion:

  Review Configuration Settings:
  
  Check the configuration settings related to UOM handling in the relevant SAP module (e.g., Sales and Distribution, Materials Management).

  Check for Custom Code:
