• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M!065 - Unit &1 should not be used as a key figure ?

  The SAP error message M!065, which states "Unit &1 should not be used as a key figure," typically occurs in the context of Material Management (MM) or Sales and Distribution (SD) modules when there is an issue with the configuration of key figures in a report or a data structure.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Unit of Measure (UoM): The unit of measure specified for a key figure is not appropriate for the context in which it is being used. For example, certain key figures may only accept specific units (like quantity, weight, volume) and using a unit that does not fit this category can trigger this error.
  Configuration Issues: The key figure may not be properly configured in the system, or it may be set up to accept only certain units of measure.
  Data Model Constraints: The data model or the InfoObject may have constraints that prevent the use of certain units as key figures.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Unit of Measure: Verify the unit of measure being used for the key figure. Ensure that it is appropriate for the context and aligns with the expected units for that key figure.
  Review Key Figure Configuration: Go to the configuration settings for the key figure in the relevant InfoObject or data model. Ensure that the unit of measure is correctly defined and that it allows for the unit you are trying to use.
  Adjust Data Model: If necessary, adjust the data model or InfoObject settings to accommodate the required unit of measure. This may involve changing the settings in the InfoProvider or adjusting the characteristics of the key figure.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on the use of key figures and units of measure in your version of SAP.
