• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCMTMS/CFIR079 - UoM for gross weight missing ?

  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/CFIR079 indicates that there is a missing Unit of Measure (UoM) for the gross weight in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM). This error typically arises when the system expects a gross weight value to be associated with a specific UoM, but that information is either not provided or incorrectly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Missing UoM Configuration: The gross weight might not have a corresponding UoM defined in the system.
  Incorrect Master Data: The material master data may not have the gross weight UoM specified.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data being transferred between different modules (e.g., between SAP TM and SAP ERP).
  Incomplete Document: The document (e.g., shipment, delivery) may not have been fully populated with the necessary weight information.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record and ensure that the gross weight and its UoM are correctly defined.
  Use transaction code MM03 to view the material master and check the relevant views (e.g., Basic Data, Sales Org Data).
  
  
  
  Define UoM:
  
  If the UoM for gross weight is missing, you may need to define it in the system. This can be done using transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure Conversion).
  Ensure that the UoM is correctly assigned to the material.
  
  
  
  Review Transportation Documents:
  
  Check the transportation documents (e.g., shipment, freight order) to ensure that all required fields, including gross weight and UoM, are filled out correctly.
  If necessary, edit the document to include the missing information.
  
  
  
  Data Consistency Check:
  
  Perform a consistency check between the SAP TM and SAP ERP systems to ensure that all relevant data is synchronized and correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional guidance on configuration.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the process again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as MM03 for material master, CUNI for unit of measure, and VT01N for creating shipments.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Transportation Management for detailed information on configuration and data requirements.
  User Roles: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and authorizations to view and edit material master data and transportation documents.
