• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message L0700 - Unit of measure & not allowed acc. to material master ?

  The SAP error message L0700, which states "Unit of measure & not allowed according to material master," typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the unit of measure (UoM) being used in a transaction and the unit of measure defined in the material master record for that specific material.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Unit of Measure: The unit of measure being used in the transaction (e.g., sales order, purchase order, inventory movement) is not defined in the material master for that material.
  Material Master Configuration: The material master may not have the required UoM set up in the relevant views (e.g., Basic Data, Sales, Purchasing).
  UoM Conversion Issues: If there are conversion factors defined, they may not be set up correctly, leading to the error.
  Transaction Context: The context of the transaction may require a specific UoM that is not allowed for the material in question.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the Basic Data view and ensure that the required unit of measure is listed under the "Units of Measure" section.
  If the UoM is missing, you can add it using transaction code MM02 (change material master).
  
  
  
  Add Allowed Units of Measure:
  
  If the UoM is not allowed, you can add it in the material master by navigating to the relevant view and adding the UoM.
  Ensure that the UoM is correctly defined as a base unit of measure or alternative unit of measure as needed.
  
  
  
  Review UoM Conversions:
  
  If applicable, check the UoM conversion settings to ensure that they are correctly defined. This can be done in the material master under the "Units of Measure" section.
  
  
  
  Transaction Context:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are trying to perform is appropriate for the UoM you are using. For example, some transactions may only allow certain UoMs based on the business process.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct UoM to use, consult your organization's documentation or speak with a colleague who is knowledgeable about the material and its usage.
