  The SAP error message /ECRS/BL_TD061 Unit of measurement for kilograms is not defined uniquely typically occurs in the context of SAP's Extended Change Request Management (ECRS) or similar modules where unit of measurement (UoM) definitions are critical for processing data related to materials, products, or transactions.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that there is ambiguity in the definition of the unit of measurement for kilograms (KG) in the system. This can happen due to several reasons:
