• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/DMRES081 - Capacity without unit of measure is only allowed without decimal places ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/DMRES081 indicates that there is an issue with the capacity data in the Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. Specifically, it states that a capacity value is being entered without a unit of measure (UoM) and that it must be an integer (i.e., without decimal places).
  Cause:
  
  Missing Unit of Measure: The capacity value is being entered without an associated unit of measure. In SAP, every capacity value should have a UoM to ensure that it is interpreted correctly.
  Decimal Values: The system does not allow decimal values for capacities when no UoM is specified. This is likely due to the way the system handles integer values for certain types of capacity (e.g., machine hours, labor hours).
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the APO system that dictate how capacities are managed, including whether they can be entered with decimals.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Unit of Measure: Ensure that a valid unit of measure is assigned to the capacity value you are trying to enter. If the capacity is meant to be a whole number, make sure it is entered as such.
  Adjust Capacity Values: If you are entering a capacity value that is currently a decimal, round it to the nearest whole number if it is appropriate to do so.
  Review Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, review the settings related to capacity planning and units of measure to ensure they are set up correctly.
  Data Entry: When entering capacity data, ensure that you are following the correct format and that you are not inadvertently including decimal points.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like /SAPAPO/DMRES to access the resource management area where you can view and edit capacity settings.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help files related to capacity planning in APO for more detailed guidance on how to manage capacities and units of measure.
  Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide more tailored assistance based on your specific configuration and usage of the system.
  
  By addressing the unit of measure and ensuring that capacity values are entered correctly, you should be able to resolve the error message /SAPAPO/DMRES081.
