  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DLCN010 - IDOC &1, unit of measure &2: conversion from ISO to SAP units - errors ?

    The SAP error message DLCN010 typically indicates an issue with the conversion of units of measure (UoM) when processing an IDoc (Intermediate Document). This error arises when there is a mismatch or an error in converting the ISO unit of measure to the SAP unit of measure specified in the IDoc.

    Cause:

    1. Unit of Measure Mismatch: The ISO unit of measure provided in the IDoc does not have a corresponding entry in the SAP system.
    2. Conversion Factors Missing: There may be no defined conversion factors between the ISO unit and the SAP unit in the system.
    3. Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for unit of measure conversion may not be set up correctly in the SAP system.
    4. Data Entry Errors: There could be typographical errors in the IDoc data, leading to invalid unit of measure values.

    Solution:

    1. Check Unit of Measure Configuration:

      • Go to the SAP transaction code CUNI (Maintain Units of Measure) to verify that the ISO unit of measure is correctly defined in the system.
      • Ensure that the conversion factors between the ISO unit and the SAP unit are correctly maintained.
    2. Review IDoc Data:

      • Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to analyze the IDoc that generated the error. Check the segment where the error occurred and verify the values for the unit of measure.
      • Correct any discrepancies in the IDoc data if necessary.
    3. Maintain Conversion Factors:

      • If the conversion factors are missing, you can maintain them in the SAP system. This can typically be done in the same transaction (CUNI) or through specific configuration settings related to unit conversions.
    4. Consult Documentation:

      • Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on how to handle unit of measure conversions and any related configuration settings.
    5. Testing:

      • After making the necessary changes, reprocess the IDoc to see if the error is resolved.

    Related Information:

    • IDoc Types: Different IDoc types may have specific requirements for units of measure. Ensure that you are using the correct IDoc type for your data.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on handling unit of measure conversions.
    • User Exits or BAdIs: If the standard conversion logic does not meet your requirements, consider implementing user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) to customize the conversion process.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the DLCN010 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
