  SAP Error Message: VHU01056
  Message Text:
  
  Include the unit of measure when you enter &1
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you enter a quantity value in a field that requires a unit of measure (UoM), but the unit of measure is missing or not specified. In SAP, when dealing with quantities (e.g., material quantities, order quantities), the system needs to know the unit of measure to correctly process the data.
  For example, if you enter a quantity like "10" without specifying whether it is "10 KG", "10 EA" (each), or "10 L" (liters), the system cannot interpret the quantity correctly and throws this error.
  
  Solution
  
  
  Always enter the unit of measure along with the quantity.
  
  For example, instead of entering just 10, enter 10 KG or 10 EA depending on the context.
  
  
  Check the input field:
  
  Make sure the field where you enter the quantity is designed to accept both quantity and unit of measure. Sometimes, the unit of measure is a separate field and must be filled explicitly.
  
  
  Verify master data:
  
  Ensure that the material master or relevant master data has the correct base unit of measure maintained. The system often defaults to this unit, but if it is missing or incorrect, it can cause issues.
  
  
  Check user input format:
  
  In some cases, the input format might require the unit of measure to be appended or selected from a dropdown.
