  Mismatch in Base UoM: The error indicates that the base unit of measure for the product in EWM (&2) does not match the base unit of measure for the same product in the ERP system (&3).
  Data Synchronization Issues: This can happen if the product master data has not been synchronized properly between the ERP and EWM systems.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the EWM or ERP settings that lead to discrepancies in the UoM definitions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Product Master Data:
  
  Go to the product master data in both EWM and ERP.
  Verify the base unit of measure for the product in both systems.
  Ensure that they match. If they do not, you will need to update one of the systems to ensure consistency.
  
  
  
  Synchronize Data:
  
  If there are discrepancies, you may need to re-synchronize the product master data between the ERP and EWM systems.
  Use transaction codes like /SCWM/MAT1 in EWM to check and maintain product data.
  
  
  
  Update Configuration:
  
  If the UoM settings are incorrect, you may need to adjust the configuration settings in either the ERP or EWM system.
  Ensure that the UoM settings in the material master are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Developments:
  
  If there are any custom developments or enhancements in your SAP environment, ensure that they are not affecting the UoM settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to EWM and UoM handling for any specific guidelines or updates.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or provide additional guidance on handling UoM discrepancies.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, perform tests to ensure that the error does not reoccur and that the product can be processed correctly in both systems.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error message /SCWM/PI_APPL173 and ensure that the base unit of measure for the product is consistent across both EWM and ERP systems.
