How To Fix AJ569 - Cannot determine usage factor (operand &1/&2 equals unit of measure &3)

AJ569 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AJ - Billing program

• Message number: 569

• Message text: Cannot determine usage factor (operand &1/&2 equals unit of measure &3)

What causes this issue?

You are using operand &V2& in the <DS:DE.CSNO>schema step during
billing</> &V4& to differentiate a usage factor. However, this operand
has the same unit of measurement &V3& as in an operand &V1& used in a
previous schema step.
The usage factor is always determined with reference to a unit of
measurement. The operand is only used for a flexible definition of the
actual usage in the schema.
To differentiate between various usage factors it is necessary to use
different units of measurements.
The usage that is to be used when calculating a usage factor must not
be differentiated using the input operand of variant QUANTI24.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Check your billing schema with regard to the use of variant QUANTI24
and its input operands.
Also refer to the documentation of this variant program.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AJ569 - Cannot determine usage factor (operand &1/&2 equals unit of measure &3) ?

  The SAP error message AJ569, which states "Cannot determine usage factor (operand &1/&2 equals unit of measure &3)," typically occurs in the context of material management or production planning when the system is unable to calculate the usage factor for a specific operation or material due to issues with the unit of measure (UoM) configuration.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Unit of Measure Configuration: The error often arises when there is a mismatch or incorrect configuration of units of measure in the material master or in the relevant transaction. This can happen if the system is trying to perform a calculation using incompatible units.
  
  
  Missing or Incorrect Usage Factor: The usage factor may not be defined for the specific combination of materials or operations being used, leading to the inability to determine how one unit relates to another.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the material, such as missing entries in the material
