How To Fix FINS_CFIN_CMT_MSG003 - Source system unit of measurement &1 inconsistent with Central system &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: FINS_CFIN_CMT_MSG - Central Finance Commitment Message Class

• Message number: 003

• Message text: Source system unit of measurement &1 inconsistent with Central system &2

What causes this issue?

For purchasing orders (PO), the commitments can be value based or
quantity based handled, based on the unit of measure (UOM) used on the
PO.
For purchasing requisitions (PR), the commitments reduction can only be
value based for service items.
For non-service items, the purchasing requisitions commitments reduction
is always quantity based.
If the source system unit is inconsistent with the Central system,
return the warning message.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

The unit of measure can be checked via transaction CUNI, or in the field
T006-KZWOB.
If you want to deactivate the error message, you should change this
message from an error message into a warning message. To do this, see
the Implementation Guide (IMG) "Controlling General" under workstep
"Change Message Control" (application area FINS_CFIN_CMT_MSG, message

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FINS_CFIN_CMT_MSG003 - Source system unit of measurement &1 inconsistent with Central system &2 ?

  The SAP error message FINS_CFIN_CMT_MSG003 indicates that there is an inconsistency between the unit of measurement (UoM) used in the source system and the one defined in the central system. This error typically arises during the data transfer process in a Central Finance (CFIN) scenario, where financial data is replicated from various source systems to a central SAP S/4HANA system.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent UoM Definitions: The unit of measurement used in the source system for a particular financial transaction does not match the unit of measurement defined in the central system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration discrepancies between the source and central systems regarding how units of measurement are defined or mapped.
  Data Migration Issues: During data migration or replication, if the UoM is not correctly mapped or transformed, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check UoM Configuration:
  
  Verify the unit of measurement settings in both the source and central systems. Ensure that the UoM used in the source system is defined in the central system.
  Use transaction codes like CUNI (for unit of measure) to check the configuration.
  
  
  
  Mapping UoM:
  
  If the UoM in the source system is different from the one in the central system, you may need to create a mapping table or adjust the mapping in the Central Finance configuration to ensure consistency.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  Review the data being transferred to identify any discrepancies in UoM. This may involve checking the specific transaction or document that triggered the error.
  
  
  
  Adjust Master Data:
  
  If necessary, adjust the master data in the source system to ensure that the UoM aligns with what is expected in the central system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to Central Finance and unit of measurement issues for any specific guidance or patches that may address the problem.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, perform tests to ensure that the data can be replicated without errors.
