• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CO706 - Order qty cannot be converted from &1 to &2 (unit of meas., mast. recipe) ?

  The SAP error message CO706 indicates that there is an issue with converting the order quantity from one unit of measure to another in the context of a master recipe. This typically occurs in the production planning and control module when dealing with production orders or process orders.
  Cause:
  
  
  Unit of Measure Configuration: The error often arises when the system cannot find a valid conversion factor between the two units of measure specified in the master recipe and the order. This can happen if the units of measure are not properly defined in the material master or if the conversion factors are missing.
  
  
  Inconsistent Units: The order quantity specified in the production order may be in a different unit of measure than what is defined in the master recipe. For example, if the master recipe is set up to use kilograms, but the order is trying to use grams without a proper conversion defined.
  
  
  Missing or Incorrect Master Data: If the master recipe or material master data is incomplete or incorrectly configured, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Unit of Measure Settings:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the units of measure defined for the material. Ensure that the base unit of measure and any alternative units of measure are correctly set up.
  Verify that the conversion factors between the units of measure are defined correctly.
  
  
  
  Review Master Recipe:
  
  Check the master recipe (transaction code C201 or C202) to ensure that the units of measure used in the recipe match those in the production order.
  Ensure that the recipe is correctly configured to allow for the conversion of quantities.
  
  
  
  Define Conversion Factors:
  
  If necessary, define the conversion factors between the units of measure in the material master. This can be done in the "Units of Measure" view of the material master.
  
  
  
  Check Production Order:
  
  Review the production order (transaction code CO02) to ensure that the order quantity is specified in a unit of measure that can be converted to the unit of measure used in the master recipe.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
