  SAP Error Message:
  WGDS_COMMON007 The unit iso code (&1) is not valid.
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system encounters an invalid or unrecognized ISO unit code during processing. The ISO unit code is typically a standardized code representing units of measure (e.g., KG for kilogram, M for meter). If the code provided does not exist in the system's unit of measure catalog or is incorrectly entered, SAP throws this error.
  Common scenarios causing this error include:  
  
  The unit of measure code is not maintained in the system.  
  Typographical errors or incorrect unit codes in master data or transactional data.  
  Data migration or interface issues where unit codes are not mapped correctly.  
  Custom developments or integrations passing invalid unit codes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Unit of Measure Code:
  
  Verify the unit code (&1) mentioned in the error message. Confirm if it is a valid ISO unit code.
  
  
  Maintain the Unit of Measure in SAP:  
  
  Go to transaction CUNI (Units of Measure) or OMUM (Define Units of Measure).  
  Check if the unit code exists.  
  If missing, create or maintain the correct unit code according to ISO standards.
  
  
  
  Correct the Data Entry:  
  
  If the error occurs during data entry, correct the unit code to a valid one.  
  For master data, update the material master or relevant master records with the correct unit.
  
  
  
  Check Interfaces and Data Migrations:  
  
  If the error arises during data upload or interface processing, ensure the mapping of unit codes is correct.  
  Validate the source data for correct unit codes.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:  
  
  Sometimes, specific SAP Notes address issues related to unit codes in certain modules or versions.
