With otherwise identical characteristic values data records with
different periods have different units with a (value-) key-figure.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

These records cannot be modified. Only a zero appears in the
corresponding field, even if values not equal to zero are on the

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message K6105 - Not all values can be shown (different quantity units) ?

  The SAP error message K6105, which states "Not all values can be shown (different quantity units)," typically occurs in the context of cost center accounting or internal orders when there are discrepancies in the units of measure for the values being processed. This can happen when you are trying to display or analyze data that involves different units of measure, such as kilograms and liters, or when the system is unable to aggregate values due to differing units.
  Cause:
  
  Different Units of Measure: The primary cause of this error is that the system is trying to display values that are measured in different units. For example, if you have costs in different currencies or quantities that are not directly comparable, the system cannot aggregate or display them together.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the way units of measure are defined in the system, leading to inconsistencies.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry or inconsistent unit definitions in master data can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Units of Measure: Review the units of measure for the values you are trying to display. Ensure that they are consistent and compatible. If necessary, convert the values to a common unit of measure before attempting to display them.
  Adjust Configuration: If the issue is related to configuration, you may need to adjust the settings in the SAP system to ensure that units of measure are defined correctly and consistently across relevant master data.
  Data Validation: Validate the data entries in the relevant cost centers or internal orders to ensure that all entries are using the correct and consistent units of measure.
  Use Aggregation: If applicable, consider using aggregation functions that can handle different units of measure, or filter the data to only include entries with the same unit of measure.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for more details on handling units of measure and cost accounting.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as KSB1 (Cost Centers: Actual Line Items) or KOB1 (Orders: Actual Line Items) to analyze the data further.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If you have custom developments, check if there are any user exits or Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) that might be affecting how units of measure are handled in your specific implementation.
  
  If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a technical consultant who can provide more tailored assistance based on your specific system configuration and data.
