• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/DM_BOL102 - Unit of measure for input (&1) not equal to current unit of measure (&2) ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/DM_BOL102 indicates a mismatch between the unit of measure (UoM) of the input value and the current unit of measure expected by the system. This error typically occurs in the context of logistics and supply chain management, particularly when dealing with documents related to deliveries, shipments, or inventory management.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Mismatch: The input value you are trying to process is in a different unit of measure than what the system is currently expecting. For example, if the system expects quantities in kilograms but you are providing them in grams, this error will occur.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the material master or in the relevant transaction that define the expected units of measure incorrectly.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual data entry errors can lead to incorrect units being entered, causing this mismatch.
  Conversion Factors: If there are conversion factors defined between different units of measure, they may not be set up correctly, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Input Values: Verify the unit of measure of the input value you are trying to process. Ensure that it matches the expected unit of measure in the system.
  Review Material Master Data: Check the material master data for the relevant material to ensure that the base unit of measure and alternative units of measure are correctly defined.
  Adjust Configuration: If the issue is due to configuration, you may need to adjust the settings in the relevant customizing transactions (e.g., SPRO) to ensure that the expected units of measure are correctly defined.
  Use Conversion: If you need to input a value in a different unit of measure, consider using the appropriate conversion to match the expected unit of measure.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling unit of measure issues in your version of SAP.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material), MM02 (Change Material), or MB1A (Goods Withdrawal) to check or change material data.
  Unit of Measure Tables: Familiarize yourself with relevant tables such as MARA (General Material Data) and MARM (Units of Measure for Material) to understand how units of measure are defined and related.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to this error message for potential patches or updates that may address known issues.
