• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M2386 - Units for stock value and receipts/issues field do not agree ?

  The SAP error message M2386 indicates that there is a mismatch between the units of measure for stock value and the units of measure for receipts/issues in a material document. This typically occurs during inventory management transactions, such as goods movements, where the system expects consistent units of measure for the stock value and the quantities being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Different Units of Measure: The stock value might be in one unit of measure (e.g., pieces) while the receipts/issues are in another (e.g., kilograms or liters).
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the material master data, where the base unit of measure and alternative units of measure are not set up correctly.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors during the posting of goods movements can lead to discrepancies in units of measure.
