How To Fix O3269 - AGA c-codes require correct temperature,pressure and density units

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: O3 - IS-Oil: HPM messages (goods movements, QCI, deliveries)

• Message number: 269

• Message text: AGA c-codes require correct temperature,pressure and density units

What causes this issue?

You have chosen a conversion handling for natural gas, where the AGA
c-codes are called. These c-codes require that the base temperatures and
pressures are entered in units of Kelvin (K) for the temperature and
Megapascal (MPa) for the pressure. The AGA c-codes also return a base
density in the unit kg/m3 (kilogram per cubic meter, the SI unit of the
density ). You thus have to maintain that unit as an external base
density unit.

System Response

If you do not follow this warning, the calculations will either fail or
be incorrect.

How to fix this error?

Convert your set of standard pressure and temperature values to these
units. You can use the conversion calculator to perform that conversion
(Transaction CUNI). Select <ZK>Units of measure</> for the correct
dimension (either temperature or pressure), and select the details
screen of your unit of measure. Use the conversion calculator to convert
the value to the unit required (either Kelvin or MPa). Enter the unit
that represents kg/m3 into the external density unit field. If you also
maintain a unit in the base density field, the Quantity Conversion
Interface (QCI) will then convert the base density from kg/m3 to that
unit and pass the value with that unit to the calling application .

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O3269 - AGA c-codes require correct temperature,pressure and density units ?

  The SAP error message O3269 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the c-codes (calculation codes) related to the temperature, pressure, and density units in the system. This error typically arises in the context of Advanced Globalization (AGA) calculations, which are used in various industries, including oil and gas, for accurate measurement and reporting.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the units of measurement for temperature, pressure, and density do not match the expected units defined in the system. This mismatch can happen due to:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The settings for the measurement units in the SAP system may not be aligned with the requirements of the AGA standards.
  Data Entry Errors: Users may have entered values using incorrect units, leading to inconsistencies.
  Missing Master Data: Required master data for the c-codes may not be properly set up or may be incomplete.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the O3269 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for the AGA c-codes in SAP.
  Ensure that the units for temperature, pressure, and density are correctly defined according to the AGA standards you are using.
  
  
  
  Review Master Data:
  
  Verify that all relevant master data (e.g., measurement points, equipment, etc.) is correctly set up with the appropriate units.
  Ensure that the units of measurement are consistent across all related master data.
  
  
  
  Data Validation:
  
  Review the data entries for the specific transaction or process that triggered the error.
  Correct any entries that are using the wrong units.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation or AGA guidelines for the specific requirements regarding units of measurement.
  Ensure that your system settings align with these guidelines.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the process again to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Seek Support:
  
  If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who specializes in AGA calculations.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  AGA Standards: Familiarize yourself with the relevant AGA standards (e.g., AGA 3, AGA 7) that dictate the required units for temperature, pressure, and density.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to error O3269, as they may provide additional insights or patches that could resolve the issue.
  Training: Consider training for users involved in data entry or configuration to minimize the risk of similar errors in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and correct the underlying issues causing the O3269 error in your SAP system.
