P5023 - Details

• The SAP error message P5023, which states "Units are different - graphic will be displayed without unit reference," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Production Planning (PP) or other modules that involve unit of measure (UoM) conversions. This error indicates that there is a mismatch in the units of measure being used in a particular transaction or report, which prevents the system from displaying the graphic with the appropriate unit reference.

  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the material master or in the settings for the specific transaction that lead to inconsistent units of measure.
  Data Entry Errors: Incorrect
