• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MG015 - Proportion units and product units have not been transferred ?

  The SAP error message MG015, which states "Proportion units and product units have not been transferred," typically occurs in the context of inventory management or production planning when there is a mismatch between the units of measure for a product and its proportional units. This can happen during various processes, such as goods movements, production orders, or inventory adjustments.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Configuration: The error often arises when the unit of measure (UoM) for a product is not correctly defined or is inconsistent between the material master and the transaction being processed.
  Proportion Units Not Defined: If the product is supposed to have proportion units (e.g., for batch management or specific production processes) and these are not set up in the system, the error can occur.
  Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the data between the material master, the bill of materials (BOM), or the routing that leads to this error.
  Incorrect Transaction Type: The transaction being executed may not support the current configuration of units of measure for the material.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and verify the unit of measure settings. Ensure that the base unit of measure and any alternative units of measure are correctly defined.
  Check if proportion units are defined if they are required for the material.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the configuration for units of measure in the system is correct. This can be done in the customizing settings (transaction code SPRO) under Logistics > General > Material Master > Settings for Key Fields.
  Check if the relevant settings for proportion units are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Check Transaction Data:
  
  Review the transaction that triggered the error. Ensure that the units of measure being used in the transaction match those defined in the material master.
  If you are working with a production order or a goods movement, ensure that the correct UoM is being used.
