• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ARUN_ITA_MESSAGES071 - Quantity &1 canÆt be &2 from order/item &3. UoM &4 doesnÆt allow decimals ?

  The SAP error message ARUN_ITA_MESSAGES071 indicates that there is an issue with the quantity being processed in relation to the unit of measure (UoM) defined for a specific order or item. The message states that the quantity cannot be a decimal because the UoM does not allow it.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Configuration: The UoM associated with the item/order is set up to only allow whole numbers (integers) and does not permit decimal values. This is common for UoMs like "pieces" or "units" where fractional quantities do not make sense.
  Data Entry Error: The user may have inadvertently entered a decimal quantity when creating or modifying the order/item.
  Master Data Issues: The material master or the order/item configuration may have incorrect settings regarding the UoM.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check UoM Settings:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the UoM settings for the material in question. Ensure that the UoM is correctly defined and that it is set to allow decimals if that is required.
  If the UoM should allow decimals, you may need to change the UoM settings in the material master.
  
  
  
  Adjust Quantity:
  
  If the UoM does not allow decimals, you will need to adjust the quantity being entered to a whole number. Review the order/item and modify the quantity accordingly.
  
  
  
  Review Order/Item Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the order or item to ensure that it aligns with the UoM settings. If necessary, consult with your SAP configuration team to make adjustments.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for further details on UoM settings and how they impact order processing.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Unit of Measure (UoM): In SAP, UoMs are defined in the material master and can be set to allow or disallow decimal quantities. This is crucial for inventory management and order processing.
  Material Master: The material master contains all the information related to a material, including its UoM settings. It is essential to ensure that the data is accurate and reflects the business requirements.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM03 (Display Material), ME21N (Create Purchase Order), and others that may be involved in the process.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant for further assistance.
