• Message number: 804

• Message text: Material &1 Plant &2: Proc. time cannot be converted to base unit

What causes this issue?

You want to update the scheduling data for material &V1& in plant &V2&.
However, this is not possible for the processing time because an error
(for example, field overflow) occurred while converting the base unit
of measure in the routing to the base unit of measure in the material

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CP804 - Material &1 Plant &2: Proc. time cannot be converted to base unit ?

  The SAP error message CP804 indicates that there is an issue with the processing time of a material in a specific plant. This error typically arises when the processing time defined for a material cannot be converted to the base unit of measure. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  
  Inconsistent Units of Measure: The processing time may be defined in a unit that is not compatible with the base unit of measure for the material. For example, if the processing time is defined in hours but the base unit is in minutes, the system may not be able to convert it correctly.
  
  
  Missing Configuration: There may be missing or incorrect configuration in the material master or the work center that defines how processing times are calculated and converted.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: There could be errors in the data entry for the processing time in the material master or the routing.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the relevant views (e.g., Basic Data, Work Scheduling).
  Ensure that the processing time is defined correctly and is in a compatible unit of measure with the base unit.
  
  
  
  Review Work Center Settings:
  
  Check the work center (transaction code CR01) associated with the material. Ensure that the processing times and units of measure are correctly defined.
  Verify that the standard values for processing times are set up correctly.
  
  
  
  Adjust Base Unit of Measure:
  
  If necessary, adjust the base unit of measure for the material to ensure compatibility with the processing time.
  
  
  
  Check Routing:
  
  If the material is part of a routing, check the routing (transaction code CA03) to ensure that the processing times are defined correctly and are consistent with the material master.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on how processing times and units of measure should be configured.
