  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FTR_COMS025 - &1: Unit of commodity &2 and unit &3 have different dimensions ?

    The SAP error message FTR_COMS025 indicates that there is a mismatch in the dimensions of the units of measure for a commodity in the financial transaction.

For example, if the commodity is measured in kilograms, but the transaction is trying to use pounds, this discrepancy will trigger the error.

    3. Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors can also lead to this issue, where the user selects an incorrect unit of measure.

    Solution:

    1. Check Units of Measure: Verify the units of measure assigned to the commodity in the system. Ensure that the unit of measure used in the transaction matches the expected unit for that commodity.
    2. Adjust Transaction Data: If the unit of measure in the transaction is incorrect, correct it to match the unit defined for the commodity.
    3. Review Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the SAP system for commodities and units of measure. Ensure that they are correctly set up and that there are no discrepancies.
