This error typically occurs in scenarios involving inventory management, sales, or production where the unit of measure is critical for processing transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Unit of Measure: The unit of measure you are trying to use for the material is not defined or allowed in the material master data.

  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).

  If the UoM is not present, you may need to add it or change the UoM to one that is allowed.
  
  
  
  Review UoM Configuration:

  If necessary, change the unit of measure in the transaction to one that is valid for the material.
