  The SAP error message WB2_ASGT143 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the unit of measure (UoM) for a specific item and assignment partner in a transaction. This error typically occurs in the context of inventory management, logistics, or when dealing with materials that have different units of measure.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Mismatch: The quantity being processed is in a different unit of measure than what is expected for the item. For example, if the system expects the quantity in pieces (EA) but the input is in kilograms (KG), this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: The material master data may not be correctly configured to handle the conversion between different units of measure.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry of quantities may lead to incorrect UoM being used.
  Inconsistent Data: The assignment partner (e.g., vendor, customer) may have a different UoM setup that does not match the item’s UoM.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data: Verify the unit of measure settings in the material master record. Ensure that the base unit of measure and alternative units of measure are correctly defined.
  
  Transaction Code: MM03 (Display Material)
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Data: Look at the specific transaction that triggered the error. Ensure that the quantities entered match the expected UoM for the item.
  
  
  Adjust Quantity: If the quantity is incorrect, adjust it to match the expected UoM. This may involve converting the quantity to the correct unit of measure.
  
  
  Configuration Review: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings for the relevant modules (e.g., Inventory Management, Sales and Distribution) to ensure that UoM settings are consistent across the system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling UoM issues in your version of SAP.

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide patches related to UoM handling.
