• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLM_SE_EAM_SC050 - Duration only supported with one UOM ?

  The SAP error message PLM_SE_EAM_SC050 indicates that there is an issue with the duration being specified in a transaction or process, particularly in the context of Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) or Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). The error message states that the duration is only supported with one Unit of Measure (UOM), which means that the system is expecting a single, consistent unit of measure for the duration being entered.

  Data Entry Errors: Users may have inadvertently entered duration values in different units or formats.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check UOM Consistency: Ensure that all duration values being entered are in the same unit of measure. For example, if the system expects the duration in hours, make sure all entries are in hours.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the relevant SAP modules (EAM or PLM) to ensure that the UOM settings for duration are correctly defined.
  Data Validation: Implement validation checks in the data entry process to prevent users from entering inconsistent UOMs for duration.
  User Training: Provide training to users on the correct format and units of measure to use when entering duration values in the system.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on how to handle duration entries in the context of your specific SAP implementation.
