Error in Custom Calculation Profile: "kg doesn't result in a CO2e weight/mass value" – How to Fix?

I have Stationary Combustion activity data for Sub Bituminous Coal in kg.

I created a Custom Emission Factor Library called TGO Stationary Combustion, which includes an emission factor for Sub Bituminous Coal. The emission factor unit is kg, and CO₂, CH₄, N₂O, and CO₂e units are also in kg.

I have a Unit Group set to Weight/Mass, with Base Unit = kg and Reporting Unit = mtCO₂e.

I then created a Custom Calculation Model that references the TGO Stationary Combustion factor library and the emission factor for Sub Bituminous Coal.

However, when I run the Custom Calculation Profile, I get this error:

"kg doesn't result in a CO₂e weight/mass value. Either adjust the unit in the activity data or factor mapping, or choose a different conversion unit in the calculation."

How can I resolve this error? Should I change the emission factor units, the activity data units, or adjust the conversion settings? Any guidance or best practices would be appreciated.
