• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06194 - Use a material with order unit &1 ?

  The SAP error message 06194, which states "Use a material with order unit &1," typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the order unit specified in the transaction and the order unit defined for the material in the system. This error is common in scenarios involving inventory management, purchasing, or production planning.
  Cause:
  
  Order Unit Mismatch: The material you are trying to use has a different order unit than what is specified in the transaction. For example, if the material is defined with an order unit of "EA" (each) but you are trying to order it in "KG" (kilograms), this error will occur.
  Material Master Data: The material master data may not be correctly set up, leading to inconsistencies in the order unit.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the order unit defined for the material.
  Ensure that the order unit matches what you are trying to use in your transaction.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Order Unit:

  Review Transaction Settings:
