• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/BO_RCA_OPT026 - Enter a reference UoM with the same dimension as base unit of property &1 ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/BO_RCA_OPT026 indicates that there is an issue with the unit of measurement (UoM) being used in relation to the base unit of a property in the system. Specifically, the error suggests that the reference UoM you are trying to enter does not have the same dimension as the base unit of the property specified by &1.
  Cause:
  
  Dimension Mismatch: The reference UoM you are trying to enter has a different dimension (e.g., weight, volume, length) compared to the base unit of the property. For example, if the base unit is in kilograms, you cannot enter a reference UoM in liters.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a configuration issue in the system where the UoMs are not properly defined or linked to the correct dimensions.
  Data Entry Error: The user may have mistakenly entered an incorrect UoM that does not correspond to the expected dimension.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check UoM Definitions: Verify the definitions of the UoMs in the system. Ensure that the reference UoM you are trying to enter is compatible with the base unit of the property.
  Use Correct UoM: Enter a reference UoM that has the same dimension as the base unit of the property. For example, if the base unit is kilograms, use a reference UoM that is also in weight (e.g., grams).
  Review Configuration: If you have access, review the configuration settings for UoMs in the relevant SAP module to ensure that they are set up correctly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on UoM configurations and requirements specific to your version of SAP.
  Seek Help from SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for further assistance.
