• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCO202 - Document &1 has different unit of measure than cost estimate ?

  The SAP error message FCO202 indicates that there is a mismatch between the unit of measure (UoM) of a document (such as a purchase order or a production order) and the unit of measure used in the cost estimate. This typically occurs in scenarios where the cost estimate is based on a different unit of measure than what is being used in the document.
  Cause:
  
  Different Units of Measure: The document (e.g., a purchase order) is using a different unit of measure than the one defined in the cost estimate. For example, if the cost estimate is in kilograms but the document is in grams, this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the material master or in the cost estimate settings that lead to this mismatch.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors during the creation of the document or the cost estimate can lead to discrepancies in the units of measure.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Units of Measure: Verify the unit of measure in both the document and the cost estimate. Ensure that they match. You can do this by:
  
  Viewing the material master data (transaction code MM03) to check the base unit of measure.
  Checking the cost estimate (transaction code CK11N or CK40N) to see the unit of measure used.
  
  
  
  Adjust Document or Cost Estimate: If there is a mismatch, you may need to adjust either the document or the cost estimate to ensure they are using the same unit of measure. This could involve:
  
  Changing the unit of measure in the document if it is incorrect.
  Updating the cost estimate to reflect the correct unit of measure.
  
  
  
  Recreate Cost Estimate: If the cost estimate is incorrect, you may need to recreate it with the correct unit of measure.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the settings for units of measure in the material master and cost estimation are correctly configured.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Check any relevant documentation or guidelines within your organization regarding the handling of units of measure in SAP.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Master: The material master contains information about the material, including its unit of measure. Ensure that the base unit of measure is correctly defined.
  Costing Variants: Review the costing variant settings to ensure that they are configured to handle the units of measure appropriately.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Training: Ensure that users are trained on the importance of maintaining consistent units of measure across documents and cost estimates to prevent this error in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the FCO202 error and ensure that your documents and cost estimates are aligned in terms of units of measure.
