• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCDL/TS046 - Change of UoM from &1 to &2 not supported ?

  The SAP error message /SCDL/TS046 Change of UoM from &1 to &2 not supported typically occurs in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) or Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) when there is an attempt to change the Unit of Measure (UoM) for a product in a way that is not allowed by the system.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incompatible UoM Change: The error indicates that the system does not support changing the UoM from the current one (&1) to the new one (&2). This could be due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The UoMs are not compatible (e.g., changing from a base unit to a non-base unit).
  The UoM change violates existing data or configurations in the system.
  The product is involved in transactions or processes that do not allow for UoM changes.
  
  
  
  Master Data Configuration: The UoM settings in the material master or other related master data may not be configured correctly to allow for such changes.
  
  
  Transaction Context: The error may arise during specific transactions where UoM changes are restricted, such as during certain planning or execution processes.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check UoM Compatibility: Verify if the UoMs you are trying to change between are compatible. You may need to consult the UoM conversion settings in the material master.
  
  
  Review Master Data: Ensure that the material master data is correctly set up for the product in question. Check the UoM settings and ensure that the UoM you want to change to is defined and valid.
  
  
  Transaction Restrictions: If the error occurs during a specific transaction, check if there are any restrictions or settings in that transaction that prevent UoM changes. You may need to complete or reverse certain transactions before changing the UoM.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on UoM changes in your version of SAP. There may be specific notes or guidelines that apply to your situation.
  
  
  Contact Support: If the issue persists and you cannot find a resolution, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP team for assistance. They may have additional insights or solutions based on your specific configuration and usage.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Material Master Data: Understanding how UoMs are defined and managed in the material master is crucial. This includes base UoMs, alternative UoMs, and conversion factors.
  UoM Conversion: Familiarize yourself with how UoM conversions work in SAP, including the settings in the material master and any relevant configuration in the system.
  Transaction Codes: Be aware of the transaction codes involved in managing materials and UoMs, such as MM01 (Create Material), MM02 (Change Material), and MM03 (Display Material).
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a suitable solution.
