• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AH097 - Only maintain rounding rules when using 'conversion factor' ?

  The SAP error message AH097, which states "Only maintain rounding rules when using 'conversion factor'," typically occurs in the context of maintaining rounding rules for units of measure in SAP. This error indicates that there is a conflict in the settings related to rounding rules and conversion factors for a specific unit of measure.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to maintain rounding rules for a unit of measure that is already defined with a conversion factor. In SAP, rounding rules can only be applied to units of measure that do not have a conversion factor associated with them. When a conversion factor is defined, the system expects that the rounding rules are not needed or applicable.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Unit of Measure Settings:
  
  Go to the transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure Conversion) or OMN1 (Maintain Units of Measure).
  Look for the specific unit of measure that is causing the error.
  
  
  
  Review Conversion Factor:
  
  If the unit of measure has a conversion factor defined, you need to decide whether you want to keep the conversion factor or the rounding rules.
  If you need the conversion factor, you should remove any rounding rules associated with that unit of measure.
  
  
  
  Remove Rounding Rules:
  
  If you determine that the conversion factor is necessary, navigate to the rounding rules section and delete any existing rounding rules for that unit of measure.
  
  
  
  Maintain Rounding Rules for Other Units:
  
  If you need rounding rules for other units of measure, ensure that those units do not have conversion factors defined.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, save your changes and exit the transaction.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Rounding Rules: Rounding rules in SAP are used to define how quantities are rounded when they are displayed or processed. They are important for ensuring that quantities are represented accurately in financial and inventory transactions.
  Conversion Factors: Conversion factors are used to convert quantities from one unit of measure to another. They are essential for maintaining consistency in measurements across different units.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as CUNI, OMN1, and OMN2 for managing units of measure and their settings.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, consider consulting your SAP administrator or support team for further assistance.
