• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/WAREHOUSE049 - Different UoMs are assigned to the single characteristic ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/WAREHOUSE049 indicates that there is a mismatch in the units of measure (UoMs) assigned to a single characteristic in the context of warehouse management or inventory management. This typically occurs when you are trying to process or manage materials that have different units of measure assigned to the same characteristic, which can lead to inconsistencies in inventory management and reporting.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple UoMs Assigned: The characteristic in question has been assigned multiple units of measure, which is not allowed in the context of the operation you are trying to perform.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the material master or in the warehouse management settings that allows for multiple UoMs to be assigned incorrectly.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry during the creation or modification of material master records can lead to this error.
  Inconsistent Master Data: The material master data may not be consistent across different views (e.g., purchasing, sales, warehouse).
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data: Review the material master data for the affected material. Ensure that the units of measure assigned to the characteristic are consistent and correct.
  
  Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material) and check the relevant views (Basic Data, Purchasing, Sales, etc.) for UoM assignments.
  
  
  
  Adjust UoM Settings: If you find that multiple UoMs are assigned, you will need to adjust the settings to ensure that only one UoM is assigned to the characteristic.
  
  You can do this by going to transaction MM02 (Change Material) and modifying the UoM settings.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to units of measure. This can be done through transaction SPRO (Customizing) and navigating to the relevant sections for material management and warehouse management.
  
  
  Data Consistency Check: Run a consistency check on the material master data to identify any discrepancies. This can help in identifying other potential issues that may not be immediately visible.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling UoM issues in your version of SAP.
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If the issue persists and you are unable to resolve it, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance.
