How To Fix COM_PRODUCT_UNIT010 - Conversion factors are greater than 99999 or exponent is not equal to 0

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: COM_PRODUCT_UNIT - Messages on Units of Measure

• Message number: 010

• Message text: Conversion factors are greater than 99999 or exponent is not equal to 0

What causes this issue?

You have specified conversion factors greater than 99999, or you have
specified a base ten exponent that is not equal to 0. Since these
conversion factors cannot be displayed in an SAP System, they cannot be
transferred to an SAP System.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Specify smaller conversion factors or set the base ten exponent to zero.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_PRODUCT_UNIT010 - Conversion factors are greater than 99999 or exponent is not equal to 0 ?

  The SAP error message COM_PRODUCT_UNIT010 indicates that there is an issue with the conversion factors defined for product units of measure in the system. Specifically, the error arises when the conversion factors exceed the maximum allowable value of 99999 or when the exponent of the conversion factor is not equal to 0.
  Cause:
  
  Conversion Factor Exceeds Limit: The conversion factor defined for a unit of measure is greater than 99999. SAP has a limit on the size of conversion factors to ensure data integrity and prevent overflow issues.
  Exponent Issue: The exponent associated with the conversion factor is not equal to 0. This can happen if the conversion factor is defined in a way that is not compatible with SAP's requirements.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Conversion Factors:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction in SAP (e.g., CUNI for unit of measure conversion).
  Review the conversion factors defined for the product in question.
  Ensure that all conversion factors are less than or equal to 99999.
  
  
  
  Adjust Exponents:
  
  If the conversion factor has an exponent, ensure that it is set to 0. This means that the conversion factor should be a simple ratio without any exponential scaling.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Invalid Entries:
  
  If you find any conversion factors that exceed the limit or have an incorrect exponent, modify them to comply with SAP's requirements.
  If necessary, delete any invalid entries and recreate them with valid values.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the changes, test the relevant transactions to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Unit of Measure (UoM): In SAP, units of measure are used to define how quantities of products are measured and converted. Each product can have multiple units of measure, and conversion factors are used to convert between these units.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  CUNI: This transaction is used to maintain units of measure and their conversion factors.
  MM02: This transaction can be used to change material master data, including unit of measure settings.
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on unit of measure management and conversion factors.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the COM_PRODUCT_UNIT010 error and ensure that your unit of measure configurations are valid.
