• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV008 - Volume calculation failed; UoM is missing from ASN &1 or item &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/DM_DLV008 Volume calculation failed; UoM is missing from ASN &1 or item &2 typically occurs in the context of Advanced Shipping Notification (ASN) processing within the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. This error indicates that the system is unable to calculate the volume for a delivery because the Unit of Measure (UoM) is missing for the ASN or for a specific item in the ASN.
  Cause:
  
  Missing UoM: The most common cause of this error is that the Unit of Measure (UoM) for the ASN or for one or more items in the ASN is not defined or is missing.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the master data, such as material master records or vendor master records, where the UoM is not properly maintained.
  Configuration Issues: There could be configuration issues in the SCM module that prevent the UoM from being recognized during the volume calculation process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check ASN Data: Review the ASN data to ensure that the UoM is correctly specified for the ASN and for each item. You can do this by navigating to the ASN document in the system and checking the details.
  Maintain UoM in Material Master: Ensure that the UoM is maintained in the material master record for the relevant materials. You can do this by:
  
  Going to the Material Master (transaction code MM03).
  Checking the Basic Data view and ensuring that the UoM is defined.
  
  
  Check Vendor Master Data: If the ASN is related to a vendor, ensure that the vendor master data is complete and that the UoM is defined.
  Review Configuration: If the issue persists, review the configuration settings in the SCM module related to UoM and volume calculations. This may require assistance from a functional consultant or someone with configuration expertise.
  Reprocess ASN: After making the necessary corrections, try to reprocess the ASN to see if the error is resolved.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like MM03 (Material Master), VL03N (Display Outbound Delivery), or /SCMB/ASN (ASN Management) to check and maintain relevant data.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for Advanced Shipping Notifications and volume calculations for more detailed information on how UoM is used in these processes.
