  VO707 Unexpected return code UNITS_GET_FOR_DIMENSION: &
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  
  The error VO707 occurs during the processing of units of measure related to a dimension in SAP.
  The message indicates that the function/module UNITS_GET_FOR_DIMENSION returned an unexpected return code.
  This usually happens when the system tries to fetch or validate units of measure for a given dimension (e.g., length, weight, volume) but encounters an inconsistency or missing data.
  Common causes include:
  
  Missing or incorrect configuration of units of measure for the dimension in customizing.
  The unit of measure assigned to a material or transaction is not valid or not maintained for the dimension.
  Incomplete or inconsistent master data related to units of measure.
  Custom code or user exits/enhancements that call this function module incorrectly or with invalid parameters.
  
  
  
  
  Where it occurs:
  
  Typically during sales order processing, delivery processing, or any transaction involving quantity and units of measure.
  It can also appear during material master data maintenance or conversion if units are involved.
  
  
  How to Analyze:
  
  Check the exact return code: The message includes a placeholder "&" which should be replaced by the actual return code or error text. This code gives more insight into the problem.
  Review the units of measure configuration:
  
  Transaction CUNI (Units of Measure) — check if the unit exists and is assigned to the correct dimension.
  Transaction SPRO ? Logistics ? General ? Units of Measure ? Check unit assignments.
