• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/BO_RPR_PP553 - Unit of measure is missing ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/BO_RPR_PP553 Unit of measure is missing typically occurs in the context of production planning or material management when a unit of measure (UoM) is not defined for a particular material or product. This can happen during various processes, such as creating a production order, a purchase order, or when trying to perform inventory management tasks.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Unit of Measure: The most common cause is that the material master record does not have a unit of measure defined for the specific material.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to the Material Master (Transaction Code: MM03).

  Check UoM Conversion:
  
  If you are using multiple units of measure, ensure that the conversion factors are correctly defined in the material master.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:

  Data Consistency Check:
