OB230 - Details

• The SAP error message OB230 indicates that there is an issue with the unit of measure (UoM) used for excise duty in your configuration. Specifically, it suggests that the UoM being used is a non-standardized volume UoM, which is not acceptable for excise duty calculations in SAP.
  
  Cause:
  
  Non-Standardized UoM: The UoM assigned for excise duty is not one of the standardized units recognized by SAP for excise calculations. This could happen if a custom UoM is being used that does not conform to the expected standards.
  
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings for excise duty in the system may not be set up correctly, leading to the use of an inappropriate UoM.
  Master Data Issues: The material master or other related master data may have incorrect UoM settings that do not align with the requirements for excise duty.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check UoM Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for excise duty in SAP (Transaction code: OBCO or similar).
