  The SAP error message WRF_MATERIAL067 ("Enter the permitted units of measure first") typically occurs in the context of material master data maintenance, particularly when dealing with units of measure (UoM) for materials in the SAP system. This error indicates that the system requires you to define the permitted units of measure for a material before you can proceed with other related activities.
  Cause:
  The error is triggered when:
  
  You are trying to create or modify a material master record without having defined the permitted units of measure.
  The system expects that the units of measure (like base unit, alternative units, etc.) are set up before you can perform certain actions, such as creating sales orders, purchase orders, or inventory transactions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the permitted units of measure are defined for the material in question. Here are the steps to do this:

  Ensure that you have defined the conversion factors if you are using alternative units.
  
  
  
  Save the Changes:
  
  After entering the necessary information, save the material master record.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt the Action:
