• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NAA086 - The order unit is missing for item &2 of purchasing document &1 ?

  The SAP error message NAA086 indicates that there is a missing order unit for a specific item in a purchasing document. This typically occurs in the context of procurement processes where the system expects a unit of measure (UoM) to be defined for the item in question.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Order Unit: The most common cause is that the order unit (the unit of measure in which the item is ordered) has not been defined for the item in the purchasing document.
  Material Master Data: The material master record for the item may not have the order unit specified, or it may be incorrectly configured.
  Purchasing Info Record: If the item is linked to a purchasing info record, the order unit may not be defined there.
  Document Type Configuration: The document type used for the purchasing document may not be configured correctly to handle the order unit.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) for the item in question.
  Ensure that the order unit is defined in the purchasing view. If it is missing, you will need to update the material master to include the correct order unit.
  
  
  
  Review Purchasing Info Record:
  
  Check the purchasing info record (transaction code ME13) for the vendor and material combination.
  Ensure that the order unit is specified. If it is missing, you can create or update the info record to include the order unit.
  
  
  
  Update Purchasing Document:
  
  If the purchasing document is already created, you may need to update it to include the order unit. This can often be done by editing the item details in the purchasing document (transaction code ME22N).
  
  
  
  Check Document Type Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, review the configuration of the document type used for the purchasing document. Ensure that it is set up to handle order units correctly.
