• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSUOM002 - The quantity conversion type & is already available ?

  The SAP error message RSUOM002 indicates that there is an issue with the quantity conversion type in the system. This error typically arises when you are trying to create or modify a unit of measure (UoM) conversion, and the specified conversion type already exists in the system.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  You are attempting to create a new quantity conversion type that already exists in the system.
  There may be a duplicate entry for the same conversion type in the relevant tables.
  The system is enforcing uniqueness for the conversion type, and the one you are trying to add is already registered.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSUOM002 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Conversions:
  
  Go to the transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure Conversion) or CUNI in the SAP GUI.
  Look for the existing quantity conversion types to see if the one you are trying to create already exists.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Existing Entry:
  
  If you find that the conversion type already exists, you can either modify the existing entry if it needs to be updated or delete it if it is no longer needed.
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make these changes.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Conversion Type:
  
  If the conversion type you are trying to create is indeed necessary, consider using a different identifier or conversion type that does not conflict with existing entries.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Consistency:
  
  Ensure that there are no inconsistencies in the data related to units of measure and their conversions. This can sometimes lead to unexpected errors.
