• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE153 - The unit of measure specified is not allowed for this product ?

  The SAP error message CI_DRAFTPRD_MESSAGE153 indicates that the unit of measure (UoM) specified for a product is not allowed or not valid in the context of the product's configuration. This error typically arises during the creation or modification of product master data, particularly in the areas of inventory management, sales, or production.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Unit of Measure: The UoM entered does not match the allowed units defined for the product in the system.
  Configuration Issues: The product may not be configured to accept the specified UoM due to settings in the material master or product master data.
  Missing UoM in Master Data: The UoM may not be defined in the relevant master data tables for the product.
  Unit of Measure Group: The UoM might not be part of the unit of measure group assigned to the product.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Product Master Data:
  
  Go to the product master data (transaction code MM03 for material master) and verify the allowed units of measure.
  Ensure that the UoM you are trying to use is listed in the "Units of Measure" tab.
  
  
  
  Update Allowed Units of Measure:
  
  If the UoM is not allowed, you may need to add it to the product's allowed UoMs. This can be done in the material master or product master data maintenance (transaction code MM02 for material master).
  
  
  
  Review Unit of Measure Group:
  
  Check the unit of measure group assigned to the product. Ensure that the UoM you are trying to use is included in this group.
