  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 06760 - Unit of measure & not convertible into base unit & ?

    The SAP error message "06760: Unit of measure & not convertible into base unit &" typically occurs when there is an issue with the conversion of a unit of measure (UoM) into its base unit of measure in the SAP system. This can happen in various contexts, such as during material master data processing, inventory management, or when performing transactions that involve quantities and units of measure.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Conversion Factors: The unit of measure you are trying to use does not have a defined conversion factor to the base unit of measure in the system.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The unit of measure may not be properly configured in the system, or the conversion settings may be incorrect.
    3. Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the material master data or the unit of measure settings.
    4. Unit of Measure Group Issues: The unit of measure might not belong to the same unit of measure group as the base unit.

    Solution:

    1. Check Unit of Measure Configuration:

      • Go to the transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure Conversion) to check if the conversion factors for the unit of measure in question are defined correctly.
      • Ensure that the unit of measure is properly linked to the base unit of measure.
    2. Review Material Master Data:

      • Use transaction code MM03 to display the material master data and check the units of measure assigned to the material.
      • Ensure that the base unit of measure is correctly defined and that the unit of measure you are trying to use is included in the allowed units of measure.
    3. Define Conversion Factors:

      • If the conversion factor is missing, you can define it in the same transaction (CUNI) or through the material master data.
    4. Check Unit of Measure Groups:

      • Ensure that the unit of measure is part of the same group as the base unit of measure. You can check this in the material master or in the unit of measure configuration.
    5. Consult Documentation:

      • If you are unsure about the configuration or the units of measure, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • CUNI: Unit of Measure Conversion
      • MM03: Display Material Master
