• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GK564 - The proportion for the cons unit will also be changed elsewhere ?

  The SAP error message GK564 typically relates to issues with the configuration of the material master data, particularly in the context of handling units or packaging. This error indicates that when you change the proportion of a conversion unit (for example, changing the quantity of a base unit of measure to a different unit of measure), it will also affect other related units of measure or conversion factors in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Configuration: The error often arises when there is an inconsistency in the unit of measure settings for a material. If you attempt to change the conversion factor for a unit of measure that is linked to other units, the system warns you that this change will have a cascading effect.
  Material Master Data: The material master may have multiple units of measure defined, and changing one can impact others if they are interrelated.
  Handling Units: If the material is part of a handling unit, changes to the conversion factors can affect how the handling units are processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Unit of Measure Settings: Check the unit of measure settings in the material master. Ensure that the conversion factors are correctly defined and that any changes you want to make are consistent with the existing configuration.
  Analyze Dependencies: Before making changes, analyze how the unit of measure is linked to other units. You may need to adjust other related units of measure accordingly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on managing units of measure and handling units.
  Test Changes in a Development Environment: If possible, test the changes in a development or sandbox environment before applying them to the production system to avoid unintended consequences.
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If the issue persists or if you are unsure about the changes, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with an SAP expert.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like MM02 (Change Material) to access and modify the material master data.
  Unit of Measure Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the configuration settings for units of measure in SAP, which can be found in the customizing settings (SPRO).
  Handling Units: If your material is part of a handling unit, review the handling unit management settings to ensure they align with your changes.
  
  By carefully reviewing the unit of measure settings and understanding the implications of your changes, you can resolve the GK564 error effectively.
