• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ATP_SOT_VDM713 - The unit &1 of attribute &2 does not match the unit selection for &3. ?

  The SAP error message ATP_SOT_VDM713 indicates a mismatch between the unit of measure (UoM) of an attribute and the unit selection for a specific object. This typically occurs in the context of Advanced ATP (Available-to-Promise) or during the processing of sales orders, where the system expects certain units to be consistent across different attributes or data points.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Mismatch: The unit of measure for the attribute specified does not match the expected unit for the object being processed. For example, if you are trying to process a sales order for a product that is measured in kilograms, but the attribute is set to pounds, this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the material master or in the sales order settings that lead to this mismatch.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry during the creation of the sales order or material master can lead to this error.
  Inconsistent Master Data: The master data for the product may have inconsistent units defined across different views (e.g., sales, purchasing, etc.).
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Unit of Measure: Verify the unit of measure for the attribute in question and ensure it matches the expected unit for the object. You can do this by checking the material master data and the sales order data.
  Adjust Master Data: If there is a discrepancy in the master data, update the material master to ensure that the units of measure are consistent across all relevant views.
  Review Sales Order Entry: If the error occurs during sales order processing, review the sales order entry to ensure that the correct units are being used.
  Configuration Review: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the system related to ATP and sales order processing to ensure that they are set up correctly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling unit of measure issues in your version of SAP.
