• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY514 - Item &1: Different convers. factor between base and sales UoM not allowed ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DELIVERY514 Item &1: Different conversion factor between base and sales UoM not allowed typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is a mismatch in the unit of measure (UoM) conversion factors between the base unit of measure and the sales unit of measure for a specific item.
  Cause:
  
  
  Mismatch in UoM Configuration: The error is usually caused by a discrepancy in the conversion factors defined for the base unit of measure and the sales unit of measure in the material master. For example, if the base UoM is set to "EA" (each) and the sales UoM is set to "BOX" (box), the conversion factor between these two units must be defined correctly.
  
  
  Incorrect Master Data: The material master data may not be set up correctly, leading to inconsistencies in how quantities are interpreted between different units of measure.
  
  
  Inconsistent Data in Delivery: The delivery document may be trying to process an item with a quantity that does not align with the defined conversion factors.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record for the affected item (transaction code MM03).
  Check the "Basic Data" and "Sales Org. Data" views to ensure that the base UoM and sales UoM are correctly defined and that the conversion factors are consistent.
  
  
  
  Adjust Conversion Factors:
  
  If the conversion factors are incorrect, update them to ensure that they match the expected values. For example, if 1 BOX contains 10 EA, ensure that this is reflected in the conversion settings.
  
  
  
  Review Delivery Document:
  
  Check the delivery document to ensure that the quantities being processed are valid and correspond to the defined UoM conversion factors.
  
  
  
  Consult with Master Data Management:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct UoM settings, consult with your organization's master data management team or SAP functional consultant to ensure that the data is set up correctly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the delivery process again to ensure that the error does not reoccur.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Unit of Measure (UoM): In SAP, UoMs are critical for inventory management and sales processes. Each material can have multiple UoMs defined, and the conversion factors between them must be consistent.
  Material Master Views: Familiarize yourself with the different views in the material master that affect UoM settings, such as Basic Data, Sales Org. Data, and Plant Data.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more detailed information on UoM configuration and error handling in EWM.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your material master data is correctly configured for the delivery process.
