• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MD735 - Only materials with unit of measure convertible to &1 are displayed ?

  The SAP error message MD735 "Only materials with unit of measure convertible to &1 are displayed" typically occurs in the context of Material Requirements Planning (MRP) or when working with material master data. This message indicates that the system is filtering materials based on their unit of measure (UoM), and only those materials that can be converted to the specified UoM (&1) are being displayed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Unit of Measure Conversion: The materials you are trying to view or work with have units of measure that cannot be converted to the specified unit of measure. For example, if you are trying to display materials in "pieces" but the materials are defined in "kilograms" or "liters," the system will not display those materials.
  
  
  Material Master Configuration: The material master data may not have the necessary conversion factors defined for the units of measure involved.
  
  
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria you are using in your MRP or material display transaction may be too restrictive, leading to the exclusion of materials that do not meet the UoM conversion requirement.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Unit of Measure Settings:
  
  Go to the material master data (transaction code MM03) and check the UoM settings for the materials you are trying to display.
  Ensure that the necessary conversion factors are defined in the material master for the relevant units of measure.
  
  
  
  Adjust Selection Criteria:
  
  Review the selection criteria you are using in the MRP or material display transaction. If possible, broaden the criteria to include more materials or change the UoM to one that is compatible with the materials you want to see.
  
  
  
  Define Conversion Factors:
  
  If you need to work with multiple units of measure, ensure that you define the conversion factors in the material master. This can be done in the "Units of Measure" view of the material master.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on unit of measure conversions and how they are handled in your specific version of SAP.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for any known issues related to this error message.
