• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHFND_PRPTY_COMN009 - More than one default unit of measure for "&1" have been defined. ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHFND_PRPTY_COMN009 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the unit of measure (UoM) for a specific material or product. The message states that more than one default unit of measure has been defined for the specified object (indicated by "&1"). This can lead to confusion in transactions where a single default UoM is expected.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises from one of the following scenarios:
  
  Multiple Default UoMs Defined: The material or product has been assigned multiple default units of measure in the system, which is not allowed.
  Configuration Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the configuration settings for units of measure in the material master or related tables.
  Data Entry Errors: During the creation or modification of the material master, incorrect entries may have been made, leading to multiple defaults.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record for the affected material (transaction code MM03).
  Check the "Basic Data" and "Sales Org. Data" views to see the defined units of measure.
  Ensure that only one unit of measure is marked as the default.
  
  
  
  Review Unit of Measure Settings:
  
  Use transaction code OMN1 to check the configuration of units of measure.
  Ensure that the unit of measure settings are correctly defined and that there are no duplicates.
  
  
  
  Adjust Default UoM:
  
  If you find multiple default UoMs, decide which one should be the default and remove the others.
  You can do this by editing the material master record and adjusting the UoM settings.
  
  
  
  Check Related Tables:
  
  If necessary, check related tables (like MARA, MARC, etc.) to ensure there are no inconsistencies in the data.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If changes are made in a development environment, ensure that they are transported to the production environment properly.
