• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MEOUT126 - Unit of measure &1 not a points unit ?

  The SAP error message MEOUT126 indicates that the unit of measure (UoM) specified in a transaction is not recognized as a "points" unit. This error typically arises in the context of purchasing or inventory management when dealing with materials that are expected to be measured in points but are instead provided in a different unit of measure.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Unit of Measure: The unit of measure used in the transaction does not match the expected unit of measure defined in the material master or the purchasing info record.
  Configuration Issues: The system may not be configured correctly to recognize certain units of measure as valid points units.
  Material Master Data: The material master data may not be set up correctly, particularly in the "Units of Measure" section.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the "Basic Data" and "Purchasing" views.
  Ensure that the unit of measure is set correctly and that it includes a valid points unit.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Data:
  
  Verify the transaction where the error occurred (e.g., purchase order, goods receipt) and ensure that the unit of measure being used is appropriate for the material.
  
  
  
  Adjust Unit of Measure:
  
  If the unit of measure is incorrect, change it to a valid points unit in the transaction or in the material master.
  
  
  
  Configuration Check:
  
  If you have access to configuration settings, check the settings for units of measure in the relevant configuration area (e.g., SPRO settings for material management).
  Ensure that the points unit is defined and recognized in the system.
