• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/MEDI011 - Unit of measure is not consistent ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/MEDI011 Unit of measure is not consistent typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when there is a mismatch in the unit of measure (UoM) for a product during a transaction. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during goods receipt, goods issue, or inventory management processes.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent UoM Settings: The unit of measure defined for the product in the material master may not match the unit of measure being used in the transaction.
  Conversion Issues: If there are conversion factors defined between different units of measure, they may not be set up correctly, leading to inconsistencies.
  Different UoM in Different Documents: The unit of measure used in the purchase order, delivery, or other related documents may differ from what is defined in the material master.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the EWM settings related to UoM handling.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master: Verify the unit of measure settings in the material master record. Ensure that the base unit of measure and any alternative units of measure are correctly defined.
  
  Transaction Code: MM03 (Display Material)
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Data: Check the transaction data (e.g., purchase order, delivery) to ensure that the unit of measure used matches the one defined in the material master.
  
  
  Adjust Conversion Factors: If there are conversion factors defined, ensure they are correct and that they allow for the conversion between the units of measure being used.
  
  
  Consistency in Documents: Ensure that all related documents (like purchase orders, deliveries, etc.) use the same unit of measure as defined in the material master.
  
  
  EWM Configuration: Review the EWM configuration settings related to unit of measure handling. Ensure that the settings are consistent with the business processes and material master data.
