  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/CURTO856 - Unit &1 not yet defined in SAP APO ?

    The SAP error message /SAPAPO/CURTO856 Unit &1 not yet defined in SAP APO typically indicates that a specific unit of measure (UoM) that is being referenced in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) system has not been defined or configured properly. This can occur in various scenarios, such as during the creation of planning objects, when executing planning runs, or when trying to access certain data.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Unit of Measure: The unit of measure (UoM) referenced in the error message is not defined in the APO system.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The UoM may exist in the SAP ERP system but has not been properly replicated or configured in the APO system.
    3. Data Transfer Issues: There may be issues with the data transfer between the SAP ERP and APO systems, leading to missing or incomplete data.

    Solution:

    1. Define the Unit of Measure in APO:

      • Go to the transaction code /SAPAPO/UM (or use the relevant menu path) to define the missing unit of measure in the APO system.
      • Ensure that the UoM is correctly configured with all necessary attributes.
    2. Check UoM Configuration:

      • Verify that the UoM is correctly set up in the SAP ERP system using transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure Conversion).
      • Ensure that the UoM is active and has the necessary conversion factors defined.
    3. Replicate Data:

      • If the UoM is defined in the ERP system but not in APO, you may need to replicate the master data. Use transaction code /SAPAPO/MASTER_DATA to initiate the data transfer.
      • Check the settings in the CIF (Core Interface) to ensure that the UoM is included in the data transfer.
    4. Check for Errors in CIF:

      • Use transaction code CIF to monitor the CIF queue for any errors related to the UoM. Resolve any issues that may be preventing the UoM from being transferred.
    5. Consult Documentation:

      • Review SAP documentation or notes related to unit of measure configuration in APO for any additional steps or considerations.

    Related Information:

    • Unit of Measure (UoM): A unit of measure is a standard quantity used to specify the amount of a product or material. It is crucial for inventory management, planning, and reporting.
    • APO Master Data: In SAP APO, master data includes information about products, locations, and other entities that are essential for planning processes.
    • CIF (Core Interface): The CIF is the interface used to transfer data between SAP ERP and SAP APO. Proper configuration and monitoring of CIF are essential for data consistency.

    If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or APO support team for further investigation and assistance.
