• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/HU_WM084 - Logistics unit of measure is not consistently maintained for product &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/HU_WM084 indicates that there is an inconsistency in the unit of measure (UoM) for a logistics unit (handling unit) related to a specific product. This error typically arises in the context of warehouse management and handling unit management in SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM).
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the unit of measure for a product is not consistently maintained across different master data records. This inconsistency can arise from several scenarios, such as:
  
  Different UoMs in Material Master: The product may have different units of measure defined in the material master, which can lead to confusion during handling unit creation or processing.
  Handling Unit Configuration: The handling unit may be configured with a UoM that does not match the UoM defined for the product in the material master.
  Inconsistent Data Entry: Manual data entry errors or discrepancies in the configuration of handling units and products can lead to this issue.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record for the product in question (transaction code MM03).
  Verify the unit of measure settings in the Basic Data, Sales, and Purchasing views.
  Ensure that the base unit of measure and any alternative units of measure are correctly defined and consistent.
  
  
  
  Review Handling Unit Configuration:
  
  Check the handling unit configuration in the system (transaction code HU02 or HU03).
  Ensure that the handling unit's UoM matches the UoM defined for the product in the material master.
  
  
  
  Adjust UoM Settings:
  
  If discrepancies are found, adjust the UoM settings in either the material master or the handling unit configuration to ensure consistency.
  If necessary, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the UoM settings align with business processes.
  
  
  
  Recreate Handling Units:
  
  If the handling units have already been created with the incorrect UoM, you may need to delete and recreate them after correcting the UoM settings.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, 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 (Display Material), HU02 (Change Handling Unit), and HU03 (Display Handling Unit).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or patches related to this error.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on handling units and unit of measure management for best practices and configuration guidelines.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the inconsistency causing the error message /SCWM/HU_WM084.
