  The SAP error message /SCDL/ADAPTER_MP036 typically indicates an issue related to the handling of additional units of measure (UoM) at the item level in the context of SAP's Supply Chain Management (SCM) or Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) modules. This error can occur during various processes, such as data transfer, planning, or execution, when the system is unable to read or interpret the additional units of measure associated with a specific item.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The additional units of measure may not be properly configured in the system. This can happen if the UoM settings for the material are incomplete or incorrect.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data, such as the material master or the info records, which can lead to the system being unable to read the additional UoM.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the transaction may not have the necessary authorizations to access the additional UoM data.
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as problems with the database or the application server, that prevent the system from retrieving the required data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data: Verify that the material master data is correctly set up. Ensure that the additional units of measure are defined and that they are linked to the correct base unit of measure.
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the "Units of Measure" view.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings: Ensure that the configuration for additional units of measure is correctly set up in the system. This can be done in the customizing settings (transaction code SPRO).
