• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MU111 - Procurement material for sales material &1 exists with same UoM (&2, &3). ?

  The SAP error message MU111 indicates that there is a conflict in the unit of measure (UoM) for a material that is being used in both procurement and sales processes. Specifically, it means that the same material is defined with different units of measure in the procurement and sales views, which can lead to inconsistencies in inventory management and reporting.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Different Units of Measure: The material is set up in the system with different units of measure for procurement and sales. For example, it might be defined as "pieces" for sales and "boxes" for procurement.
  Material Master Configuration: The material master data may not be correctly configured, leading to discrepancies in how the material is treated in different processes.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors during the creation or modification of material master records can lead to this issue.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the MU111 error, you can take the following steps:

  Review Material Type Settings:
