  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S_ARC_TRANS105 - Different definition of unit of measure &1 ?

    The SAP error message S_ARC_TRANS105, which states "Different definition of unit of measure &1," typically occurs when there is a mismatch in the unit of measure (UoM) definitions between different systems or within the same system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during data transfer, integration processes, or when working with different modules that handle inventory, sales, or purchasing.

    Cause:

    1. Inconsistent UoM Definitions: The unit of measure defined in one part of the system (e.g., material master, sales order) does not match the definition in another part (e.g., purchasing info record, inventory management).
    2. Data Migration Issues: If data has been migrated from one system to another, discrepancies in UoM definitions can lead to this error.
    3. Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the SAP system regarding UoM settings can also lead to this error.
    4. Master Data Issues: The material master data may have inconsistent UoM settings across different views (e.g., sales, purchasing).

    Solution:

    1. Check UoM Definitions: Verify the unit of measure definitions in the relevant master data records (e.g., material master, vendor master) to ensure they are consistent across all relevant areas.

      • Use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material) to check the material master data.
      • Check the UoM settings in the purchasing info records and sales documents.
    2. Adjust Configuration: If the UoM definitions are incorrect, you may need to adjust the configuration settings in the SAP system.

      • Use transaction SPRO to access the configuration settings and navigate to the relevant sections for units of measure.
    3. Data Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on your master data to identify and correct any discrepancies.

      • Use transaction SE16 or SE11 to view the relevant database tables and check for inconsistencies.
    4. Recreate or Update Records: If necessary, recreate or update the records that are causing the issue to ensure they align with the correct UoM definitions.

    5. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling UoM issues in your version of SAP.

    Related Information:

    • Unit of Measure Types: Understand the different types of units of measure (base unit, sales unit, purchasing unit) and how they interact.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to UoM discrepancies.
    • User Exits and BAdIs: If you are using custom developments, ensure that any user exits or BAdIs related to UoM handling are correctly implemented.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the S_ARC_TRANS105 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
