• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CWM/IDGT002 - Use parallel UoM and quantity for material &1 in billing &2 ?

  The SAP error message /CWM/IDGT002 Use parallel UoM and quantity for material &1 in billing &2 typically occurs in the context of billing processes within the SAP system, particularly when dealing with materials that have a parallel unit of measure (UoM) defined.
  Cause:
  This error indicates that the system expects the use of a parallel unit of measure and quantity for the specified material during the billing process. The parallel UoM is often used in scenarios where a material can be measured in different units (e.g., kilograms and pounds) and the system requires that both the primary and parallel units of measure be specified for accurate billing.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record for the material specified in the error message (material &1).
  Ensure that the parallel unit of measure is correctly defined in the material master. You can do this by navigating to the relevant views in the material master (e.g., Basic Data, Sales, and Purchasing views).
  
  
  
  Verify Billing Document:
  
  Check the billing document (billing &2) to ensure that both the primary and parallel quantities are being used.
  If the billing document is being created through a sales order or delivery, ensure that the sales order or delivery also has the correct unit of measure and quantity.
  
  
  
  Adjust Billing Configuration:
  
  If necessary, review the configuration settings related to billing and units of measure in the SAP system. This may involve checking the settings in the relevant customizing transactions (e.g., SPRO) to ensure that the system is set up to handle parallel units of measure correctly.
  
  
  
  User Input:
  
  If the system is prompting for input, ensure that users are entering both the primary and parallel quantities when creating billing documents.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on handling parallel units of measure in billing processes.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
