• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06734 - Base unit entered differs from base unit & of material ?

  The SAP error message "06734 Base unit entered differs from base unit of material" typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the base unit of measure (UoM) that you are trying to use in a transaction and the base unit of measure defined for the material in the material master record.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Base Unit of Measure: The base unit of measure you are trying to enter in a transaction (e.g., during goods movement, sales order creation, etc.) does not match the base unit of measure defined in the material master for that specific material.
  Incorrect Configuration: The material may have been configured incorrectly, or the user may be trying to use a unit of measure that is not allowed for that material.
  Data Entry Error: There may be a simple typographical error in the unit of measure being entered.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the base unit of measure defined for the material in the Basic Data view.
  Ensure that the base unit of measure is correct and matches what you intend to use in your transaction.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Unit of Measure:
  
  When entering data in the transaction, ensure that you are using the correct base unit of measure as defined in the material master.
  If you need to use a different unit of measure, ensure that it is properly defined in the material master and that the conversion factors are set up correctly.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If the base unit of measure needs to be changed, you may need to update the material master (transaction code MM02), but be cautious as this can have implications on existing transactions and inventory.
  Ensure that any changes made are in line with your organization's policies and procedures.
