• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSUOM136 - Expected base unit of measure according to master data record: &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSUOM136 indicates that there is a mismatch between the expected base unit of measure (UoM) and the unit of measure defined in the master data record for a material. This typically occurs in scenarios involving inventory management, material master data, or when processing transactions that require a specific unit of measure.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Unit of Measure Configuration: The material master record may have an incorrect base unit of measure defined.
  Transaction Mismatch: The transaction you are trying to perform (e.g., goods movement, inventory count) is expecting a different unit of measure than what is defined in the material master.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data due to changes in the material master or incorrect data entry.
  Missing Master Data: The required master data for the material may not be fully maintained, leading to the system not being able to determine the correct base unit of measure.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and verify the base unit of measure defined for the material.
  Ensure that the base unit of measure is correctly set and matches the expected unit for the transaction you are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Details:
  
  Check the transaction you are attempting to execute. Ensure that the unit of measure you are using in the transaction is compatible with the base unit of measure defined in the material master.
  
  
  
  Adjust Unit of Measure Settings:
  
  If necessary, adjust the unit of measure settings in the material master (transaction code MM02) to ensure consistency with the expected values.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on unit of measure configurations and best practices.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks or reports to identify any discrepancies in the material master data that may be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
