What causes this issue?

The unit of measure for the sales order for which you are attempting to
perform <DS:GLOS. results_analysis>results analysis</> differs from the
unit of measure in the <DS:GLOS.standard_cost_estimate>standard cost
estimate</> for the material.
The base unit of measure in the costing view of the material master
record differs from the sales unit in the sales view. No conversion
factors have been defined.

System Response

The system cannot convert the base units of measure from the cost
estimate.

How to fix this error?

Check the master record of the material being produced.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KJ244 - Unit of measure in order (&) differs from unit of meas. in cost est. (&) ?

  The SAP error message KJ244 indicates a discrepancy between the unit of measure (UoM) used in a production order and the unit of measure defined in the cost estimate for that order. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when creating or processing production orders, and it typically arises when the UoM in the order does not match the UoM in the associated cost estimate.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch of Units: The unit of measure in the production order (e.g., pieces, kilograms, liters) is different from the unit of measure in the cost estimate.
  Cost Estimate Configuration: The cost estimate may have been created with a different unit of measure than what is being used in the production order.
  Master Data Issues: The material master data or the cost estimate may not be properly configured, leading to inconsistencies.
  Changes in UoM: If the unit of measure for the material was changed after the cost estimate was created, this could lead to the error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Production Order: Review the production order to confirm the unit of measure being used. Ensure it is the correct UoM for the material.
  Review the Cost Estimate: Check the cost estimate associated with the production order. Ensure that the unit of measure in the cost estimate matches the one in the production order.
  Adjust the Cost Estimate: If necessary, you may need to create a new cost estimate with the correct unit of measure that matches the production order.
  Update Master Data: Ensure that the material master data is correctly configured with the appropriate units of measure. This includes checking the base unit of measure and any alternative units of measure.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific steps on how to resolve unit of measure discrepancies.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like CO01 (Create Production Order) or CK11N (Create Cost Estimate) to review and adjust orders and estimates.
  Material Master: Use transaction code MM03 to view the material master data and check the units of measure.
  Costing Variants: Ensure that the costing variant used for the cost estimate is appropriate for the production order.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on this error.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the KJ244 error in SAP.
