SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: HRHCP00_PLAN - Messages About Personnel Cost Plan

• Message number: 206

• Message text: Customizing is incomplete for unit of measurement &1 (&2) in table T538A

What causes this issue?

Customizing is incomplete in the <LS>HR Time/Measurement Units</> table
(T538A) for unit &V1& (&V2&): The <LS>Unit of Measurement</> field
(MSEHI) is blank.
This means that an "HR Unit" (field ZEINH: <LS>Time/Meas. Unit</>) has
been defined, but no <LS>Unit of Measurement</> (field MSEHI) has been
assigned to it. The unit of measurement required here is the (base) unit
of measure used in Cost Accounting (CO).
Technically, it is needed to, for example, access the <LS>Units of
Measurement</> table (T006) to determine the <LS>ISO Code for Unit</>
(ISOCODE field).

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?

Correct Customizing by assigning a "CO unit" <LS>Unit of Measurement</>
(field MSEHI) from table T006 (F4 help) to the "HR unit" <LS>Time/Meas.
Unit</> (field ZEINH) in question.
If no suitable unit exists in table T006, then you must also complete
table T006.
Customizing activity for <LS>HR Time/Measurement Units</> table T538A:
