• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OIJ_SHIPSHORE018 - Agreed quantity UOM must be &1 ?

  The SAP error message OIJ_SHIPSHORE018, which states "Agreed quantity UOM must be &1," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Oil and Gas (OIJ) module when there is a mismatch between the unit of measure (UOM) specified in a transaction and the expected UOM defined in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in UOM: The quantity being entered or processed does not match the expected unit of measure defined for the transaction. For example, if the system expects a quantity in barrels but the user is trying to enter it in liters, this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the material master or in the transaction settings that define the expected UOM.
  Data Entry Errors: Users may inadvertently enter the wrong UOM when creating or processing documents.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check UOM Configuration:
  
  Verify the UOM settings in the material master for the relevant product. Ensure that the base UOM and any alternative UOMs are correctly defined.
  Check the configuration settings in the OIJ module to ensure that the expected UOM for the transaction is set correctly.
  
  
  
  Correct Data Entry:
  
  Ensure that the quantity being entered matches the expected UOM. If the system expects a certain UOM (e.g., barrels), make sure to enter the quantity in that unit.
  If you are unsure of the expected UOM, consult the relevant documentation or system settings.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Settings:
  
  If the error occurs during a specific transaction (e.g., shipment, delivery), review the transaction settings to ensure that they align with the expected UOM.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for further guidance on handling UOM-related issues in the OIJ module.
