• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PK347 - Transferred unit of measure does not match unit of measure in cntrl cycle ?

  The SAP error message PK347 indicates that there is a mismatch between the transferred unit of measure and the unit of measure defined in the control cycle for a production order or process order. This typically occurs in the context of production planning and execution, particularly when dealing with production orders, process orders, or repetitive manufacturing.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Mismatch: The unit of measure (UoM) used in the production order does not match the unit of measure defined in the control cycle. For example, if the control cycle is set to use "pieces" but the order is trying to use "boxes," this error will occur.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the material master or the control cycle may not be set up correctly, leading to discrepancies in the expected UoM.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors during the creation of the production order or control cycle can lead to mismatched units of measure.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Control Cycle Settings: 
  
  Go to the control cycle configuration in SAP and verify the unit of measure settings. Ensure that the unit of measure defined in the control cycle matches the unit of measure used in the production order.
  Transaction codes like C223 (for control cycle maintenance) can be used to check and modify the control cycle settings.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data for the relevant material. Ensure that the base unit of measure and the alternative units of measure are correctly defined.
  Use transaction code MM03 to view the material master and verify the UoM settings.
  
  
  
  Adjust Production Order:
  
  If the production order is incorrectly set up, you may need to adjust the order to match the control cycle's unit of measure. This can be done using transaction code CO02 (Change Production Order).
  
  
  
  Recreate the Order: 
  
  If the order cannot be adjusted due to significant discrepancies, consider deleting the order and recreating it with the correct unit of measure.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files related to production planning and control cycles for additional guidance on unit of measure settings.

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to this error message.
  User Exits and BAdIs: If custom logic is involved in the order creation process, review any user exits or BAdIs that may affect unit of measure handling.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the PK347 error and ensure that the unit of measure settings are consistent across your production orders and control cycles.
