• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LB107 - The units of measure are not sorted consecutively ?

  The SAP error message LB107, which states "The units of measure are not sorted consecutively," typically occurs in the context of inventory management or logistics when there is an issue with the way units of measure (UoM) are defined or used in a transaction. This error can arise during various processes, such as goods movements, inventory counts, or when creating or modifying material master records.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following issues:
  
  
  Incorrect UoM Configuration: The units of measure for a material may not be defined in a consecutive order in the system. For example, if you have units like "EA" (each), "KG" (kilogram), and "G" (gram), they need to be sorted in a specific sequence.
  
  
  Missing UoM Conversion: If there are multiple units of measure defined for a material, the conversion factors between these units may not be set up correctly, leading to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: During data entry, if the units of measure are not entered in the expected order or if there are typos, this can trigger the error.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the LB107 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check UoM Configuration:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the units of measure defined for the material.
  Ensure that the units of measure are defined in a logical and consecutive order.
  
  
  
  Review UoM Conversion Factors:
  
  In the material master, check the conversion factors between different units of measure. Ensure that they are correctly defined and that there are no missing conversions.
  
  
  
  Correct Data Entry:
  
  If the error occurred during a specific transaction, review the data entry for that transaction. Ensure that the units of measure are entered correctly and in the expected order.
