O4214 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: O4 - IS-Oil: MAP message pool

• Message number: 214

• Message text: Error during Gross/Net volume UoM substitution. See long text.

What causes this issue?

During Gross/Net volume UoM substitution an error has occurred
(Function module GROSS_NET_UNIT_CHECK).

System Response

The system cannot find a corresponding gross volume unit of measure for
the specified net volume of measure '&V1&' .
The system checks the unit of measure table to find a unit of measure,
with the same values like the net volume unit of measure for the
following properties
Dimension ( = Volume)
Numerator for the conversion to the SI unit of this dimension
Denominator for the conversion to the SI unit of this dimension.
and which has an empty temperature field.
The system cannot find an entry in the unit of measure table, which
satisfies the mentioned condition.

How to fix this error?

The following explanation concerns customizing of unit of measures in
the R/3 system. If you do not have detailed knowledge in that area or
if you do not have the appropriate authorizations, contact your system
administrator.
Check the values in the system table T006 for the net unit of measure '
&V1&' and check for a corresponding gross volume unit of measure, which
satisfies the above mentioned criteria.
If a corresponding gross volume unit of measure does not exist in T006
and you want to convert the net unit to it, you have to maintain the
gross volume unit of measure in table T006 with the above described
properties via the path:
Customizing -> General Settings -> Check units of measurement

  Causes of Error O4214
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The UoM settings in the material master or the configuration for the relevant movement types may not be set up correctly.
  Missing UoM Conversion: There may be no defined conversion factors between the gross and net volume units in the system.
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the data related to the material, such as missing or incorrect volume data.
  Material Master Issues: The material master record may not have the necessary UoM data or may be incomplete.
  Custom Code or Enhancements: If there
