This typically occurs in the context of materials management and planning, particularly when dealing with allocation tables in SAP's Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) or similar modules.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system cannot find a defined unit of measure for the allocation table quantity of the specified material. This can happen due to several reasons:

  Review Allocation Table Settings:
