• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LE_SHP_BF_EAN128016 - SAP unit for ISO code &1 does not exist or is not unique ?

  The SAP error message LE_SHP_BF_EAN128016 indicates that there is an issue with the unit of measure (UoM) associated with the ISO code in the context of handling EAN-128 barcodes. This error typically arises when the system cannot find a valid unit of measure for the specified ISO code, or if there are multiple entries that match the criteria, leading to ambiguity.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent UoM: The specified ISO code does not correspond to any existing unit of measure in the SAP system.
  Non-Unique UoM: There are multiple units of measure defined for the same ISO code, causing confusion for the system.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration for handling EAN-128 barcodes may not be set up correctly, leading to issues in recognizing the UoM.
  Data Entry Errors: There may be a typo or incorrect entry in the data that is being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check UoM Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure Conversion) in SAP.

  Ensure that there are no duplicate entries for the same ISO code.
  
  
  
  Maintain UoM:
  
  If the UoM does not exist, create a new entry for the required ISO code.
  If there are duplicates, consolidate them to ensure that each ISO code has a unique corresponding UoM.
  
  
  
  Review EAN-128 Configuration:
