• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message L1702 - For unit of measure & no conversion factor maintained ?

  The SAP error message L1702, which states "For unit of measure & no conversion factor maintained," typically occurs in the context of inventory management or material master data when there is an attempt to use a unit of measure (UoM) that does not have a defined conversion factor in the system. This can happen during various transactions, such as goods movements, inventory counts, or when creating purchase orders.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of a conversion factor for the specified unit of measure in the material master data. SAP requires that all units of measure used for a material have a defined conversion factor to ensure accurate calculations and transactions.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to maintain the conversion factor for the unit of measure in the material master. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access Material Master Data:
  
  Use transaction code MM02 to change the material master data.
  
  
  
  Select Views:
  
  Choose the "Basic Data 1" or "Purchasing" view (depending on where you want to maintain the UoM).
  
  
  
  Enter Material Number:
  
  Input the material number for which you are encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Maintain Units of Measure:
  
  Navigate to the "Units of Measure" section.
  Check if the unit of measure in question is listed. If it is not, you will need to add it.
  If it is listed, ensure that a conversion factor is defined for it relative to the base unit of measure.
  
  
  
  Define Conversion Factor:
  
  Enter the conversion factor for the unit of measure. This factor indicates how many of the base unit of measure are equivalent to the specified unit of measure.
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, save the material master data.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Unit of Measure (UoM): In SAP, a unit of measure is a standard quantity used to measure the amount of a material. Common examples include pieces (PC), kilograms (KG), liters (L), etc.
  Material Master Data: This is a central repository of information related to materials in SAP, which includes details like descriptions, units of measure, purchasing information, and more.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  MM01: Create Material
  MM02: Change Material
  MM03: Display Material
  
  
  Conversion Factors: These are essential for ensuring that materials can be accurately measured and converted between different units of measure, which is crucial for inventory management and reporting.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the L1702 error and ensure that your material master data is correctly configured for the units of measure you are using.
