  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLM_SE_PRS_MESSAGES059 - Unit of measurement ISO code &1 is not supported. ?

    The SAP error message PLM_SE_PRS_MESSAGES059 indicates that the unit of measurement (UoM) ISO code specified in your transaction or configuration is not supported by the system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with materials, products, or services in SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management).

    Cause:

    1. Invalid ISO Code: The ISO code for the unit of measurement you are trying to use is not recognized by the SAP system. This could be due to a typo or using a code that is not defined in the system.
    2. Missing Configuration: The unit of measurement may not be configured in the system, or it may not be linked to the relevant material or product.
    3. Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from another system, there may be discrepancies in the UoM codes.
    4. Custom Development: If there are custom developments or enhancements, they may not be handling certain UoM codes correctly.

    Solution:

    1. Check the ISO Code: Verify that the ISO code you are using is correct. You can refer to the official ISO standards for units of measurement to ensure accuracy.
    2. Maintain UoM in SAP:
      • Go to the transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure Conversion) to check if the UoM is defined in the system.
      • If it is not defined, you can create a new unit of measurement or modify existing ones as needed.
    3. Check Material Master: If the error occurs while working with a specific material, check the material master data to ensure that the UoM is correctly assigned.
      • Use transaction code MM03 to view the material master and check the UoM settings.
    4. Review Custom Code: If there are any custom developments, review the code to ensure it correctly handles the UoM and does not inadvertently filter out valid codes.
    5. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on UoM configuration and management.

    Related Information:

    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to UoM handling in your version of SAP.
