How to fix this error?

Maintain the material at all plants with the same IS-Oil data before
any stock is posted to the material.
Correctly maintain the material at all of the applicable plants. The
IS-Oil data has to be uniform for a material, regardless of plant. Do
this before stock is posted, otherwise the material could be damaged
and no longer usable. The conversion groups do not have to be the same,
but you have to enter a conversion group for this material/plant
combination.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O3193 - Other plants exist which maintain conversion group ?

  The SAP error message O3193, "Other plants exist which maintain conversion group," typically occurs when you are trying to delete or modify a conversion group in the SAP system, but there are other plants that are still using that conversion group. This is a common issue in SAP when dealing with material master data and conversion factors.

  The error arises because the conversion group is linked to multiple plants, and SAP enforces data integrity by preventing the deletion or modification of a conversion group that is still in use. This is to ensure that all related data remains consistent across the system.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Plants Using the Conversion Group:

  Delete or Modify the Conversion Group:
  
  Once you have ensured that no plants are using the conversion group, you can proceed to delete or modify it using transaction code OMN3.
