• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OIUME073 - & volume and rate must be 0 based on producing method: &. ?

  The SAP error message OIUME073 typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when dealing with production planning and inventory management, particularly in the handling of production orders or process orders. The message indicates that there is a mismatch between the expected volume and rate for a specific producing method, which is often related to the configuration of the production process or the master data associated with the materials involved.
