This error is due to master data setup issue with your unit of measure as per e-invoicing requirement.

Since GST portal expects the UoMs to be minimum of 3 characters.

Kindly adapt all your UoMs which you will be using to send to GST portal to minimum 3 characters via BC activity “Quantities and Units of Measure”.

For example, from “ea” to “nos” or “eac” OR "h" to "hrs" etc. This ‘nos’ or ‘eac’ or 'hrs' are just suggestions, it could be anything that your end user also understands, but with minimum of 3 characters since GST portal needs it.

1. Go to the Business Configuration work center.
2. Select the Implementation Projects view.
3. Select your implementation project and click on the Open Activity List button.
4. Navigate to the Fine Tune step.
5. Open the fine tuning activity Quantities and Units of Measure.
6. Select the respective hyperlink for the Unit e.g. for EA select Create and Maintain Trading Units.
7. Change the UoM Symbol of the respective Unit of measure e.g. ea to nos or eac.
8. Save your changes.

For affected e-invoices which are already created, you could either

1) change the UoM symbol in file manually and upload in GST portal or

2) you could 'Rollback Legal Approval' and then 'Request Legal Approval' in case you would prefer system to generate file with new UoM symbol value(Re-Login and try this)
