• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CP491 - Unit &1 in sub-oper. &3 does not agree with unit &2 in operation &4 ?

  The SAP error message CP491 indicates a mismatch between the units of measure for a component in a sub-operation and the unit of measure defined for the operation in which it is being used. This typically occurs in the context of production orders or process orders where components are assigned to operations and sub-operations.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Mismatch: The unit of measure for the component in the sub-operation does not match the unit of measure defined for the operation. For example, if the operation is defined in kilograms and the component is defined in grams, this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the material master or the routing where the units of measure are not aligned.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry during the creation of the production order or routing can lead to this mismatch.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Routing: Review the routing for the production order to ensure that the units of measure for the operations and sub-operations are consistent with the components being used.
  Verify Material Master Data: Check the material master data for the components involved. Ensure that the unit of measure defined for the component matches the expected unit of measure in the operation.
  Adjust the Production Order: If the production order has been created with incorrect data, you may need to adjust the order or re-create it with the correct units of measure.
  Consult with Configuration Team: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the settings for units of measure in the system are correctly configured.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like CO02 (Change Production Order) or C202 (Change Routing) to review and modify the relevant data.
  Unit of Measure Settings: Familiarize yourself with the unit of measure settings in the material master (transaction MM02) and routing (transaction CA02).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on handling this error.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CP491 error and ensure that the units of measure are consistent across your production order and its components.
