• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PRC_CNV011 - No alternative quantity units have been provided ?

  The SAP error message PRC_CNV011 indicates that there are no alternative quantity units provided for a particular material or product in the system. This error typically arises during processes that involve conversion between different units of measure, such as during the creation of purchase orders, sales orders, or inventory management.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Alternative Units of Measure: The material master record does not have alternative units of measure defined. This can happen if the material was created without specifying these units.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in the system may not be set up correctly to handle alternative units of measure.
  Data Migration Issues: If data was migrated from another system, the alternative units of measure may not have been included or properly mapped.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the "Basic Data" and "Sales Org. Data" views to see if alternative units of measure are defined.
  If they are missing, you can add them using transaction code MM02 (Change Material).
  
  
  
  Define Alternative Units of Measure:
  
  In the material master, navigate to the "Units of Measure" section.
  Add the necessary alternative units of measure that are required for your business processes.
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings:
  
  Ensure that the configuration for units of measure is correctly set up in the system. This can be done in the SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object) configuration settings.
  Check the settings under Logistics - General > Unit of Measure > Define Units of Measure.
  
  
  
  Data Migration Review:
  
  If the error occurred after a data migration, review the migration process to ensure that all necessary data, including alternative units of measure, was included.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the system behaves as expected.
