• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/PAS040 - Use the same unit of measure for requested quantity and quantity supplied ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/PAS040 indicates that there is a mismatch between the unit of measure (UoM) for the requested quantity and the quantity supplied in the context of the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error typically arises during processes such as goods receipt, stock transfer, or inventory management when the system expects the units to match but finds them different.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Mismatch: The most common cause is that the requested quantity is in a different unit of measure than the quantity being supplied. For example, if the requested quantity is in pieces (EA) and the supplied quantity is in kilograms (KG), the system will raise this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the material master or in the warehouse management settings that define how quantities should be handled.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors during the creation of the delivery or goods receipt can lead to this mismatch.
  Conversion Factors: If there are no appropriate conversion factors defined between the units of measure, the system cannot convert the quantities correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Units of Measure: Verify that the units of measure for both the requested and supplied quantities are the same. If they are different, adjust one of them to match the other.
  Adjust Material Master Data: Ensure that the material master data is correctly set up with the appropriate base unit of measure and alternative units of measure. You can check this in the material master (transaction code MM03).
  Review Delivery or Document: If the error occurs during a specific transaction (like a delivery), review the document to ensure that the quantities are entered correctly.
  Use Conversion Factors: If you need to work with different units of measure, ensure that the necessary conversion factors are defined in the material master. This allows the system to convert quantities as needed.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling units of measure in your version of SAP EWM.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like MM03 (Display Material), VL01N (Create Outbound Delivery), or MIGO (Goods Movement) to check and correct the relevant data.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues or bugs related to this error message.
  User Exits or BAdIs: If you have custom developments, check if there are any user exits or BAdIs that might be affecting the handling of units of measure.
