Issue/Symptom/Question

  • We received the following error when running the Requisition Interface:
  • "ERROR: Unit Of Measure GA  is not valid."
  • Currently GA is defined as a unit and should otherwise be valid.

Resolution/Fix/Answer

  • There was a trailing space in the Unit of Measure field on the interface file
    E.g. the unit of measure in the interface file was "GA " when it should have been "GA"
  • Remove the trailing space and re-submit the interface request

Cause 

  • The trailing space causes the interface request program to look for a three character unit of measure when "GA" is only a two character unit of measure
