• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_BO074 - Maintain values in another unit of measure ?

  The SAP error message GHO_BO074, which states "Maintain values in another unit of measure," typically occurs in the context of handling materials or inventory management where there is a discrepancy between the unit of measure (UoM) used in the transaction and the UoM defined in the material master or other related settings.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Mismatch: The error usually arises when the system expects a value in a specific unit of measure, but the value provided is in a different unit. This can happen during transactions like goods movements, inventory adjustments, or when entering data in a material master record.
  Missing Conversion Factors: If the conversion factors between different units of measure are not properly defined in the material master, the system may not be able to convert the values correctly.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for units of measure in the material master or in the relevant transaction may not be set up correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the units of measure defined for the material. Ensure that the base unit of measure and any alternative units of measure are correctly maintained.
  Verify that the conversion factors between the base unit and any alternative units are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Data:
  
  If the error occurs during a specific transaction, review the data being entered. Ensure that the unit of measure used in the transaction matches the expected unit of measure for the material.
  If necessary, change the unit of measure in the transaction to match the one defined in the material master.
  
  
  
  Maintain UoM Settings:
  
  If you are responsible for configuration, check the settings in the SAP system for units of measure. This can be done through transaction code OME1 (for maintaining units of measure) or OME2 (for maintaining conversion factors).
  Ensure that the necessary units of measure are defined and that conversion factors are set up correctly.
