  The SAP error message /SCWM/TDC160 indicates that there is an issue during the unit conversion process in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) module. This error typically occurs when the system is unable to convert a quantity from one unit of measure (UoM) to another due to various reasons.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Unit of Measure Conversion: The conversion factor between the two units of measure is not defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The units of measure may not be correctly configured in the system, leading to conversion issues.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the material master or the units of measure.
  Unit of Measure Group Issues: The units of measure may not belong to the same unit of measure group, which is necessary for conversion.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Unit of Measure Configuration:
  
  Go to the transaction code CUNI (Maintain Units of Measure) and verify that the conversion factors between the two units of measure are correctly defined.
  Ensure that both units of measure are part of the same unit of measure group.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data for the relevant material using transaction code MM03. Ensure that the units of measure are correctly maintained in the Basic Data and Purchasing views.
  
  
  
  Define Conversion Factors:
  
  If the conversion factor is missing, you can define it in the same transaction (CUNI) by creating a new entry for the conversion between the two units of measure.
  
  
  
  Check for Inconsistencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no inconsistencies in the data related to the material or the units of measure. This may involve checking for any recent changes or updates that could have affected the configuration.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, perform a test to see if the error persists. You can do this by trying to execute the same transaction or process that triggered the error.
