How To Fix CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE132 - Check the conversion factor for the base unit of the planning product

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE -

• Message number: 132

• Message text: Check the conversion factor for the base unit of the planning product

What causes this issue?

If you do not specify a conversion factor for calculating quantities of
the product as quantities of the planning product, the system proposes a
conversion factor. This factor is determined as follows:
The system checks the alternative units of measure that are maintained
for the planning product. If an alternative unit is the same as the base
unit of the current product, the conversion factor is proposed
immediately. Otherwise, the system continues with point 2.
The system attempts to find a conversion factor using the standard units
of measure table. If is finds one, it proposes this value. Otherwise, it
continues with point 3.
The system proposes "1" as the conversion factor.
If you enter a conversion factor, the system asks you to check it. When
you enter a planning product the system cannot display its base unit of
measure until you select Enter.

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