How To Fix K6108 - Please don't make all column units input-ready

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: K6 - EC-EIS/EC-BP data basis: Data entry and collection

• Message number: 108

• Message text: Please don't make all column units input-ready

What causes this issue?

You have placed the periods in the rows or columns of the layout.
Simultaneously a quantity key-figure without a fixed unit has been
chosen in a row.

System Response

If entries are only made for one period, you can ignore this message.
Otherwise no entries can be made for the unit of the quantity key
figure, because no differing unit can be entered per period with
otherwise identical characteristic values.

How to fix this error?

There are other possibilities:
Put the periods in the general selections. An entry for the unit can
then be carried out during the data entry in the overview screen.
Set all unit columns to 'not ready for input' (Menu path: Formatting-->
Ready for input y/n).
Put the key-figures in the columns. Then all you have to do is set the
unit columns of the quantity key-figures without a fixed unit to 'Ready
for input'
Attention
In the last two cases you couldn't make any entries for the key-figure
without a fixed unit, as entries without a unit are reset. You can
only show values that are already available.

  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on configuring input-ready columns in your reports.
