• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICL586 - Only &2 is permitted as the unit for item number &1 ?

  The SAP error message ICL586 indicates that there is a restriction on the unit of measure (UoM) for a specific item in a transaction. The message states that only a specific unit (denoted as &2) is permitted for the item number (denoted as &1). This typically occurs in the context of inventory management, sales, or purchasing where the unit of measure for an item is predefined and must be adhered to.

  Review Configuration: If necessary, review the configuration settings in the SAP system to ensure that the allowed units of measure are correctly defined for the item category or material type.
  
  This may involve checking the configuration in SPRO under "Logistics General" > "Material Master" > "Basic Settings" > "Define Units of Measure".
