  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 30070 - Units & and & have same dimension but no conversion factor ?

    The SAP error message 30070 indicates that there is a mismatch in the unit of measure (UoM) being used in a transaction or operation. Specifically, it states that two units have the same dimension but there is no conversion factor defined between them. This can occur in various contexts, such as when creating or processing materials, sales orders, or production orders.

    Cause:

    1. Unit of Measure Configuration: The units involved may be configured in the system without a defined conversion factor, even though they share the same dimension (e.g., both are in weight, volume, etc.).
    2. Incorrect Unit Usage: The user may have selected units that are intended to be interchangeable but are not properly linked in the system.
    3. Master Data Issues: The material master or other relevant master data may not have the necessary conversion factors set up for the units being used.

    Solution:

    1. Check Unit of Measure Settings:

      • Go to the transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure Conversion) in SAP.
      • Verify if there is a conversion factor defined between the two units in question. If not, you will need to create one.
    2. Update Material Master:

      • If the error occurs during a material transaction, check the material master data using transaction code MM03.
      • Navigate to the "Basic Data" or "Purchasing" views and ensure that the units of measure are correctly defined and that conversion factors are set up.
    3. Review Transaction Data:

      • If the error occurs during a specific transaction (like sales order creation), review the data entered to ensure that the correct units are being used.
    4. Consult Documentation:

      • If you are unsure about the units or their conversions, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional team for guidance.
    5. Testing:

      • After making changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs.

    Related Information:

    • Unit of Measure Types: Understand the different types of units of measure in SAP (e.g., base unit, alternative unit, sales unit).
    • Conversion Factors: Familiarize yourself with how conversion factors work in SAP and how they can be set up for different units.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance related to this error message.

    By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message 30070 and ensure that your unit of measure configurations are correct.
