• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMB/ORDER175 - Order &1, item &2: Base unit of measure &3 of price is invalid ?

  The SAP error message /SCMB/ORDER175 indicates that there is an issue with the base unit of measure (UoM) for a price in a specific order item. This error typically arises in the context of supply chain management (SCM) or logistics when the system encounters a price that is not compatible with the specified base unit of measure for the order item.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Base Unit of Measure: The base unit of measure defined for the price in the pricing conditions does not match the base unit of measure defined for the material or product in the order.
  Missing or Incorrect Configuration: The pricing conditions may not be properly configured in the system, leading to discrepancies between the order item and the pricing data.
  Material Master Data Issues: The material master data may not be set up correctly, particularly the units of measure section.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies between the order data and the pricing data, such as changes in the material master that have not been reflected in the pricing conditions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record for the relevant material and verify the base unit of measure. Ensure that it is correctly defined and matches the expected unit of measure for pricing.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Conditions:
  
  Check the pricing conditions in the condition records (transaction code: VK11 or VK12) to ensure that the base unit of measure for the price is valid and corresponds to the unit of measure used in the order.
  
  
  
  Adjust Order Item:
  
  If necessary, adjust the order item to use a valid base unit of measure that matches the pricing conditions. This may involve changing the quantity or the unit of measure in the order.
  
  
  
  Update Configuration:
  
  If the issue is due to configuration, work with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the pricing procedure and condition types are set up correctly to handle the units of measure appropriately.
  
  
  
  Check for Inconsistencies:
  
  Investigate any recent changes to the material master or pricing conditions that may have led to this inconsistency. Ensure that all relevant data is synchronized.
