• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV006 - Gross weight calculation failed; UoM is missing from ASN &1 or item &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV006 indicates that there is an issue with the gross weight calculation for a delivery or Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. The specific error message states that the Unit of Measure (UoM) is missing for the ASN or item, which is preventing the system from calculating the gross weight.
  Cause:
  
  Missing UoM: The most common cause of this error is that the Unit of Measure (UoM) for the ASN or the specific item is not defined or is missing in the system.
  Incorrect Master Data: The material master data for the item may not have the UoM defined correctly, or it may not be set up for the specific plant or storage location.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the SCM module that affect how UoM is handled for deliveries or ASNs.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check ASN and Item Details:
  
  Go to the ASN or delivery document in SAP and check the details for the specific item that is causing the error.
  Ensure that the UoM is specified for the item in the ASN.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Navigate to the material master data (transaction code MM03) for the item in question.
  Check the UoM settings in the Basic Data view and ensure that the UoM is defined correctly for the relevant plant and storage location.
  
  
  
  Update UoM in ASN:
  
  If the UoM is missing in the ASN, you may need to update the ASN with the correct UoM for the item.
  This can typically be done through the ASN processing transaction or by editing the ASN document.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the SCM module related to UoM handling and gross weight calculations.
  Ensure that the necessary settings are in place to allow for proper UoM assignment and weight calculations.
