  The SAP error message /SCMB/MC_PB_DEF087 typically occurs in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM), particularly when dealing with planning and threshold settings in the context of product-based planning or similar functionalities. This error indicates that the system requires clarification on how to interpret the threshold for a specific entry, specifically whether it should be based on the base unit of measure (UoM), volume, or weight.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A threshold value is defined for a product or planning object, but the system does not have enough information to determine how to apply that threshold.
  The configuration or master data for the product does not specify whether the threshold should be calculated based on the base UoM, volume, or weight.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Product Master Data:
  
  Go to the product master data in the SAP system.
  Ensure that the relevant fields for base UoM, volume, and weight are correctly filled out.
  
  
  
  Define Threshold Settings:
  
  Navigate to the configuration settings for the relevant planning area or product.
  Specify how the threshold should be interpreted (base UoM, volume, or weight).
  This can usually be done in the customizing settings under the relevant SCM module.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters:
  
  If you are using planning books or data views, check the settings for the planning book to ensure that the threshold parameters are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific SCM module you are working with. This can provide insights into how to set up thresholds correctly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
