• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPPSPRO/SUBCON021 - Component list corresponds to one base unit of material & ?

  The SAP error message /SAPPSPRO/SUBCON021 typically indicates an issue related to the component list in a subcontracting scenario. This error occurs when the component list for a subcontracting purchase order or production order does not match the base unit of measure defined for the material.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Base Unit of Measure: The component list is defined in a different unit of measure than the base unit of measure of the material. For example, if the base unit of measure for a material is "KG" but the component list is defined in "LBS", this error may occur.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the material master or the BOM (Bill of Materials) may not be set up correctly, leading to inconsistencies.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors during the creation of the BOM or component list can lead to discrepancies.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Base Unit of Measure: Verify the base unit of measure for the material in the material master (transaction code MM03). Ensure that the component list is defined using the same unit of measure.
  Review BOM: If the error is related to a BOM, check the BOM for the material (transaction code CS03) and ensure that all components are listed with the correct units of measure.
  Adjust Component List: If necessary, adjust the component list to match the base unit of measure of the material. This may involve changing the quantities or units of measure in the component list.
  Recreate BOM: If the BOM is significantly incorrect, consider recreating it to ensure that all components are correctly defined.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidance related to your system configuration.
