• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message C5620 - You cannot convert the charge quantity unit to the material quantity unit ?

  The SAP error message C5620, "You cannot convert the charge quantity unit to the material quantity unit," typically occurs in the context of materials management or production processes when there is a mismatch between the units of measure for a charge quantity and a material quantity. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during the creation of production orders, goods movements, or when dealing with batch management.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Unit of Measure (UoM) Configuration: The charge quantity and material quantity may be defined with different units of measure that are not compatible for conversion. For example, if the charge quantity is in liters and the material quantity is in kilograms, SAP may not be able to convert between these units without a defined conversion factor.
