• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CATSXT059 - Diff. unit of meas. for stat.key fig. & and service no. & in derivation & ?

  The SAP error message CATSXT059 typically occurs in the context of the Cross-Application Time Sheet (CATS) when there is a mismatch in the units of measure between a statistical key figure and a service number in a derivation. This can happen when you are trying to post time or costs to a service that has a different unit of measure than what is defined for the statistical key figure.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Mismatch: The statistical key figure and the service number are defined with different units of measure. For example, if the statistical key figure is defined in hours and the service number is defined in days, this mismatch will trigger the error.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings in the system for the statistical key figures or service numbers may not be aligned properly.
  Data Entry Error: There may be an error in the data entry where the wrong service number or statistical key figure is being used.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the statistical key figures and service numbers in the SAP system.
  Ensure that both are using the same unit of measure. If they are not, you may need to adjust the configuration to align them.
  
  
  
  Review Data Entry:
  
  Verify the entries being made in the CATS. Ensure that the correct statistical key figure and service number are being used.
  If necessary, correct any data entry mistakes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to CATS and statistical key figures to understand the expected configurations and units of measure.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, perform a test entry in CATS to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Seek Help from SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the configuration and data entry, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
