Hello Sumit,

Please check the material unit of measure again if the conversion are maintained right.

Also refer the link below:

In J1ID --- Material / Chapter id combination assign material to chapter id with specific material type as raw material/consumable/tools etc,Then select tab modvat determination and assigned input/output material combination and save.

Hope this helps

the message cannot be set to a warning, it is a hardcoded error message.

Even you add it in customizing as a warning, such customizing is only considered if the programmer has forseen it, which is not the case in program MJ1IHF01

        SELECT SINGLE * FROM marm WHERE
          matnr = jv_item-matnr AND
          meinh = jv_item-meins.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        MESSAGE e222 with 'Unit of measurement'.
      ENDIF.

If you can read the coding, then you can see that SAP is querying the material master based on the material number and unit you  just entered.
