  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PRC_CNV141 - The unit of measurement &1 is not assigned to material master record &2 ?

    The SAP error message PRC_CNV141 indicates that there is an issue with the unit of measurement (UoM) assigned to a material master record. Specifically, it means that the specified unit of measurement (&1) is not assigned to the material master record (&2). This can occur during various processes, such as data migration, material creation, or when performing transactions involving the material.

    Cause:

    1. Missing UoM Assignment: The unit of measurement you are trying to use has not been assigned to the material master record.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The material master may not have been properly configured to include the required units of measurement.
    3. Data Migration Issues: If you are migrating data from another system, the UoM may not have been correctly mapped or transferred.
    4. Material Type Restrictions: Certain material types may have restrictions on which units of measurement can be assigned.

    Solution:

    1. Check Material Master Record:

      • Go to the material master record in transaction MM03 (Display Material).
      • Check the "Basic Data" and "Purchasing" views to see if the unit of measurement is listed.
      • If the UoM is missing, you will need to add it.
    2. Assign Unit of Measurement:

      • If the UoM is not assigned, you can assign it by using transaction MM02 (Change Material).
      • Navigate to the relevant views (e.g., Basic Data, Purchasing) and add the required unit of measurement.
    3. Create or Modify UoM:

      • If the unit of measurement does not exist in the system, you may need to create it using transaction CUNI (Maintain Units of Measure).
      • Ensure that the new UoM is properly defined and linked to the relevant material types.
    4. Check Configuration:

      • Review the configuration settings in the material management module to ensure that the UoM settings are correct.
      • You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team to verify that the material type allows for the desired UoM.
    5. Data Migration Review:

      • If this error occurs during data migration, review the mapping of UoMs in your migration tool or process to ensure that they are correctly assigned to the material records.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • MM03: Display Material
      • MM02: Change Material
      • CUNI: Maintain Units of Measure
    • Material Master Views: Familiarize yourself with the different views of the material master (Basic Data, Purchasing, Sales, etc.) to understand where UoM assignments are made.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to UoM assignments or material master records.
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on material master data management and unit of measurement settings.

    By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the PRC_CNV141 error and ensure that the unit of measurement is correctly assigned to the material master record.
