• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMMFDOR_DRVTV_ORDER171 - UoM &1 of document qty to be filled differs from order qty UoM &2 ?

  The SAP error message CMMFDOR_DRVTV_ORDER171 indicates a mismatch between the Unit of Measure (UoM) of the document quantity and the order quantity in a transaction. This typically occurs in scenarios involving inventory management, production orders, or material documents where quantities are being processed.
  Cause:
  
  UoM Mismatch: The primary cause of this error is that the UoM of the quantity being entered or processed does not match the UoM defined for the order. For example, if the order is in kilograms (kg) but the document quantity is being entered in grams (g), this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the material master or the order type that define how quantities and UoMs are handled.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors can also lead to this mismatch, such as entering the wrong UoM or quantity.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check UoM Settings: Verify the UoM settings in the material master for the relevant material. Ensure that the UoM used in the document matches the UoM defined in the order.
  
  Transaction Code: MM03 (Display Material)
  Check the UoM in the Basic Data and Purchasing views.
  
  
  
  Review the Order: Look at the order details to confirm the UoM used there. You can do this using:
  
  Transaction Code: CO03 (Display Production Order) or ME23N (Display Purchase Order), depending on the context.
  
  
  
  Adjust Document Entry: If you are entering a document (like a goods receipt or production confirmation), ensure that you are using the correct UoM that corresponds to the order.
  
  
  Conversion Factors: If necessary, use conversion factors to convert quantities from one UoM to another. Ensure that the conversion is valid and that the system is set up to handle such conversions.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to UoM handling in the system. This may involve checking the configuration in the following areas:
  
  Material Master settings
  Order type settings
  UoM conversion settings
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Unit of Measure (UoM): In SAP, UoM is a critical aspect of inventory and order management. Each material can have multiple UoMs defined, and it is essential to ensure consistency across documents.
  Material Master: The material master contains all the information related to a material, including its UoM settings. It is crucial to maintain accurate data here to avoid errors.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. Sometimes, specific versions of SAP may have bugs that are documented in SAP Notes.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that the UoM used in your transactions is consistent with the order requirements.
