• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MSR_REPLACEMENT211 - Only the following UoM can be selected; base UoM: &1 ?

  The SAP error message MSR_REPLACEMENT211 indicates that there is an issue with the unit of measure (UoM) being used in a transaction or process. Specifically, the message states that only the base unit of measure (UoM) can be selected, which is indicated by the placeholder &1 in the error message.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in scenarios where:
  
  A non-base unit of measure is being used in a transaction that requires the base unit of measure.
  The configuration of the material master or the transaction does not allow for the selected UoM.
  There may be inconsistencies in the UoM settings in the material master data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Verify the UoM settings in the Basic Data and Sales views.
  Ensure that the base unit of measure is correctly defined and that the UoM you are trying to use is compatible with the base UoM.
  
  
  
  Use Base UoM:
  
  If the transaction requires the base UoM, ensure that you are selecting the base UoM for the operation you are performing.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Settings:
  
  Check the transaction or process you are executing to ensure that it is set up to accept the UoM you are trying to use.
  If you are using a custom transaction or program, review the logic to ensure it allows for the correct UoM selection.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific transaction or module you are working with to understand the UoM requirements.
