• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/ORDER096 - Order &1 item &2 schedule line &3: Unit of measure missing ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/ORDER096 indicates that there is a missing unit of measure (UoM) for a specific order item and schedule line in the Supply Chain Management (SCM) module. This error typically arises when the system expects a unit of measure to be defined for a particular item in an order, but it is not available.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Unit of Measure: The most common cause is that the unit of measure has not been defined for the item in the material master or in the order itself.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the material or the order type may not be set up correctly, leading to the absence of a unit of measure.
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the data entered for the order, such as missing or incorrect entries in the relevant fields.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:
  
  Go to the material master record for the item in question (transaction code MM03).
  Ensure that the unit of measure is defined in the Basic Data view and any relevant views (like Sales, Purchasing, etc.).
  If the UoM is missing, you can add it using transaction code MM02.
  
  
  
  Review Order Details:
  
  Check the order details (transaction code VA03 for sales orders, ME23N for purchase orders, etc.) to ensure that the unit of measure is specified for the item and schedule line.
  If it is missing, you may need to edit the order to include the correct unit of measure.
  
  
  
  Configuration Settings:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the order type and item category to ensure that they are set up to allow for the correct unit of measure.
  This may involve checking the settings in the customizing transaction (SPRO) under the relevant SCM or logistics modules.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Perform a data consistency check to identify any other potential issues that may be causing the error.
  You can use transaction codes like SE11 to check the database tables for any inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on handling unit of measure issues in SCM.
