• Message number: 490

• Message text: Unit &1 for operation &3 does not agree with unit &2 in wrk ctr op set &4

What causes this issue?

You want to cumulate the standard values from the operations of a
refernce operation set in the work center operation set &v4&. However,
unit &v1& in operation &v3& has a different dimension as unit &v2& in
work center operation set &v4&.

System Response

The standard values in operation &v3& are not taken into account during

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CP490 - Unit &1 for operation &3 does not agree with unit &2 in wrk ctr op set &4 ?

  The SAP error message CP490 indicates a mismatch between the units of measure for a specific operation in a work center operation set. This error typically arises in the context of production planning and control, particularly when dealing with routing and work center definitions.
  Cause:
  The error message CP490 occurs when:
  
  The unit of measure defined for the operation in the routing does not match the unit of measure defined for the work center.
  There may be inconsistencies in the configuration of the work center or the routing, such as:
  
  The operation is set to use a different unit of measure than what is defined in the work center.
  The work center is configured to use a specific unit of measure that is not compatible with the operation's unit of measure.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CP490 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Routing:
  
  Go to the routing transaction (e.g., CA03) and check the operation details.
  Verify the unit of measure assigned to the operation.
  
  
  
  Check the Work Center:
  
  Go to the work center transaction (e.g., CR02) and check the details of the work center.
  Verify the unit of measure assigned to the work center.
  
  
  
  Align Units of Measure:
  
  If there is a mismatch, you will need to either change the unit of measure in the routing to match the work center or vice versa.
  Ensure that both the routing and work center are using compatible units of measure.
  
  
  
  Recheck Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, review the configuration settings for both the routing and work center to ensure that they are set up correctly.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the changes by attempting to create or process the production order again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Unit of Measure (UoM): In SAP, units of measure are critical for ensuring that quantities are correctly interpreted and processed. Common units include pieces, kilograms, liters, etc.
  Routing: A routing defines the sequence of operations required to produce a product, including the work centers involved and the time required for each operation.
  Work Center: A work center is a location where operations are performed, and it is associated with specific resources and capacities.
  
  By ensuring that the units of measure are consistent across both the routing and work center, you should be able to resolve the CP490 error and proceed with your production planning activities.
