This error typically arises when you are trying to perform operations that require a valid ISO code for a unit of measurement, such as during the creation of documents, transactions, or when working with materials.

    Cause:

    1. Missing ISO Code: The unit of measurement you are trying to use does not have an associated ISO code in the system.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The unit of measurement may not be properly configured in the system.
    3. Custom Units: If you are using a custom unit of measurement that has not been defined with an ISO code, this error can occur.

    Solution:

    To resolve the FRE649 error, you can follow these steps:

    1. Check Unit of Measurement Configuration:

      • Go to the transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure Conversion).
      • Check if the unit of measurement in question is listed and if it has an ISO code assigned to it.
    2. Assign ISO Code:

      • If the unit of measurement does not have an ISO code, you can assign one. This is typically done in the same configuration area where you manage units of measurement.
      • You may need to consult with your SAP administrator or a functional consultant to ensure that the correct ISO code is assigned.
    3. Create or Modify UoM:

      • If the unit of measurement does not exist, you may need to create it using transaction code CUNI.
      • Ensure that you provide the necessary details, including the ISO code.
    4. Check Material Master:

      • If the error occurs during material transactions, check the material master data (transaction code MM03) to ensure that the unit of measurement is correctly defined and linked to the material.
    5. Consult Documentation:

      • Review SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on managing units of measurement and ISO codes.

    Related Information:

    • ISO Codes: ISO codes are standardized codes that represent units of measurement. They are important for ensuring consistency in data exchange and reporting.
