• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EDI_SD015 - Internal unit of measure cannot be determined by ISO unit &1 ?

  The SAP error message EDI_SD015, which states "Internal unit of measure cannot be determined by ISO unit &1," typically occurs in the context of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) when there is an issue with the unit of measure (UoM) being used in a transaction. This error indicates that the system is unable to map the ISO unit of measure provided in the EDI message to an internal unit of measure defined in the SAP system.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Mapping: The ISO unit of measure provided in the EDI message does not have a corresponding internal unit of measure defined in the SAP system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for unit of measure conversion may not be set up correctly in the system.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data, such as material master records, where the unit of measure is not properly defined.
  Unsupported Unit: The unit of measure used in the EDI message may not be supported or recognized by the SAP system.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Unit of Measure Mapping:
  
  Go to the transaction code OMW1 (or relevant transaction for your version) to check the mapping of ISO units to internal units.
  Ensure that the ISO unit of measure used in the EDI message has a corresponding internal unit of measure defined.
  
  
  
  Update Master Data:
  
  Review the material master records (transaction code MM03) to ensure that the unit of measure is correctly defined for the materials involved in the transaction.
  If necessary, add or update the unit of measure in the material master.
  
  
  
  Configure Unit of Measure Conversion:
  
  If the mapping is missing, you may need to configure the unit of measure conversion in the system. This can typically be done in the customizing settings under Logistics or Sales and Distribution.
  
  
  
  Check EDI Configuration:
  
  Review the EDI configuration settings to ensure that the correct message types and segments are being processed.
  Ensure that the EDI partner profile is correctly set up to handle the specific units of measure.
