  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OIUME082 - If Gravity indicator is Absolute density gravity UOM is required ?

    The SAP error message OIUME082 indicates that there is an issue with the gravity indicator in the context of handling materials, particularly in the Oil and Gas industry or similar sectors where density measurements are critical. The error specifically states that if the gravity indicator is set to "Absolute density," then a unit of measure (UOM) for gravity is required.

    Cause:

    This error typically arises when:

    1. The gravity indicator is set to "Absolute density" in the material master or during a transaction, but the corresponding unit of measure for gravity is not specified.
    2. The system expects a specific UOM (like kg/m³ or g/cm³) to be defined for absolute density, and its absence leads to this error.

    Solution:

    To resolve the OIUME082 error, you can follow these steps:

    1. Check Material Master Data:

      • Go to the material master record (transaction code MM02 or MM03).
      • Check the relevant views (like Basic Data, Purchasing, or Sales) to see if the gravity indicator is set to "Absolute density."
      • Ensure that the unit of measure for gravity is specified correctly.
    2. Specify the Unit of Measure:

      • If the gravity indicator is set to "Absolute density," make sure to enter a valid UOM in the appropriate field. Common UOMs for density include:
        • kg/m³
        • g/cm³
      • Save the changes to the material master.
    3. Review Configuration Settings:

      • If you are unable to resolve the issue through the material master, check the configuration settings in the SAP system. This may involve looking at the settings for the relevant module (like SAP Oil and Gas) to ensure that the UOMs and gravity indicators are correctly configured.
    4. Consult Documentation:

      • Review any relevant SAP documentation or notes related to the error message OIUME082 for additional context or updates that may apply to your version of SAP.
    5. Testing:

      • After making the necessary changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
    • User Manuals: Refer to user manuals or guides specific to the Oil and Gas industry module in SAP for detailed instructions on handling density and gravity indicators.
    • Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who specializes in material management or the specific industry module you are working with.

    By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the OIUME082 error and ensure that your material data is correctly configured for processing.
