• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OPS_SE_APPL_SHP002 - Item &1 cannot be picked in unit &2. Use unit &3 or &4 ?

  The SAP error message OPS_SE_APPL_SHP002 indicates that there is an issue with picking an item in a specific unit of measure (UoM). The message typically arises in the context of warehouse management or inventory management processes when trying to pick an item that is not available in the requested unit of measure.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Mismatch: The item you are trying to pick is not available in the unit of measure you specified (unit &2). Instead, it is available in other units of measure (unit &3 or &4).
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the material master or warehouse management settings that restrict the picking of items in certain units of measure.
  Stock Availability: The stock for the item may only exist in the alternative units of measure, and the system is prompting you to use those instead.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Available Units of Measure: Review the material master data for the item in question to see which units of measure are defined and available. You can do this by navigating to the material master (transaction code MM03) and checking the "Units of Measure" tab.
  Change the Picking Unit of Measure: If possible, change the picking unit of measure in your picking document or transaction to one of the suggested units (unit &3 or &4).
  Adjust Stock Levels: If you need to pick in the specified unit of measure (unit &2), ensure that stock is available in that unit. You may need to perform a stock conversion or adjust inventory levels accordingly.
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the material master and warehouse management settings to ensure that the units of measure are set up correctly and that there are no restrictions preventing picking in the desired unit.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Master Data: Understanding how units of measure are defined in the material master is crucial. Each material can have multiple units of measure, including base unit, sales unit, and purchasing unit.
  Warehouse Management Settings: Familiarize yourself with the warehouse management settings that govern how items are picked and how units of measure are handled.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on handling units of measure and warehouse management processes.
  
  If the problem continues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in warehouse management for further assistance.
