  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/MEDI007 - No denominator for conversion of unit of measure provided ?

    The SAP error message /SCWM/MEDI007 No denominator for conversion of unit of measure provided typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is an issue with unit of measure (UoM) conversions. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a denominator for the conversion of a specified unit of measure, which is necessary for the system to perform calculations or conversions between different units of measure.

    Cause:

    1. Missing UoM Configuration: The unit of measure that you are trying to use may not be properly configured in the system. This includes missing conversion factors or relationships between different units of measure.
    2. Incorrect UoM Usage: The unit of measure being used in the transaction may not be valid for the material or the context in which it is being used.
    3. Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies in the master data related to the material, such as missing or incorrect UoM settings in the material master or in the relevant configuration tables.

    Solution:

    1. Check UoM Configuration:

      • Go to the transaction code CUNI (Unit of Measure Conversion) in SAP.
      • Verify that the unit of measure you are trying to use has a valid conversion factor defined. Ensure that both the numerator and denominator are correctly set up.
      • If necessary, create or adjust the conversion factors to include the missing denominator.
    2. Review Material Master Data:

      • Use transaction code MM03 to display the material master data.
      • Check the UoM settings in the Basic Data and Sales views to ensure that the correct units of measure are assigned and that they are consistent with the expected values.
    3. Check for Data Inconsistencies:

      • Ensure that there are no inconsistencies in the data related to the material and its UoM settings.
      • If you have recently made changes to the UoM settings or material master, ensure that these changes have been properly saved and activated.
    4. Consult Documentation:

      • Review SAP documentation or help resources related to unit of measure conversions in EWM for additional guidance on configuration and troubleshooting.
    5. Contact SAP Support:

      • If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance. Provide them with details of the error message, the context in which it occurs, and any relevant configuration settings.

    Related Information:

    • Unit of Measure Types: Understand the different types of units of measure (base unit, alternative unit, etc.) and how they relate to each other.
    • Conversion Factors: Familiarize yourself with how conversion factors are defined and used in SAP for different materials and processes.
    • EWM Configuration: Review the configuration settings specific to Extended Warehouse Management, as they may have additional requirements or settings related to UoM.
