• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/CMGL_APPL026 - Error while converting the quantity from UoM &1 to UoM &2 ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/CMGL_APPL026 typically occurs during the conversion of quantities between different Units of Measure (UoM) in the context of materials management or inventory management. This error indicates that there is an issue with converting a quantity from one UoM to another.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Conversion Factors: The most common cause of this error is that there are no defined conversion factors between the two Units of Measure in the system. For example, if you are trying to convert from kilograms (kg) to grams (g), but the conversion factor is not defined in the material master, the system will throw this error.
  
  
  Incorrect UoM Configuration: The UoM settings in the material master may not be configured correctly. This includes the base UoM and any alternative UoMs.
  
  
  Inactive UoM: The UoM you are trying to convert to or from may be inactive or not allowed for the material in question.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the material or the UoM settings.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the UoM settings under the "Basic Data" and "Purchasing" views.
  Ensure that the conversion factors between the UoMs are defined correctly.
  
  
  
  Define Conversion Factors:
  
  If conversion factors are missing, you can define them in the material master. This can be done in the "Basic Data" view by specifying the conversion factors for the relevant UoMs.
  
  
  
  Review UoM Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the UoMs involved in the conversion are correctly configured in the system. You can check this in the configuration settings (transaction code SPRO).
  Navigate to Logistics - General > Material Master > Basic Settings > Units of Measure to review and configure UoMs.
  
  
  
  Check UoM Status:
  
  Ensure that the UoMs are active and allowed for the material. You can check this in the UoM configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Test the Conversion:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the conversion again to see if the error persists.
