• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SLS_LORD087 - EAN/UPC &1 is incompatible with unit &2 ?

  The SAP error message SLS_LORD087 indicates that there is an incompatibility between the EAN/UPC (European Article Number/Universal Product Code) and the unit of measure (UoM) associated with a product. This error typically arises during sales order processing, inventory management, or when handling product master data.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in EAN/UPC and Unit of Measure: The EAN/UPC code you are trying to use is not compatible with the unit of measure defined for the product. For example, if the EAN/UPC is defined for a specific packaging unit (like a box of 12) but you are trying to sell it in a different unit (like a single item), this error will occur.
  Incorrect Master Data Setup: The product master data may not be set up correctly, leading to discrepancies between the EAN/UPC and the unit of measure.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors when inputting EAN/UPC codes or units of measure can lead to this incompatibility.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Product Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record for the product in question.
  Verify the EAN/UPC codes assigned to the product and ensure they match the intended unit of measure.
  Ensure that the unit of measure defined in the material master corresponds to the EAN/UPC being used.
  
  
  
  Update EAN/UPC or Unit of Measure:
  
  If the EAN/UPC is incorrect, update it to the correct code that matches the unit of measure.
  If the unit of measure is incorrect, adjust it to align with the EAN/UPC.
  
  
  
  Review Sales Order or Transaction:
  
  If the error occurs during a sales order or transaction, review the details of the order to ensure that the correct product and unit of measure are being used.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling EAN/UPC and unit of measure configurations.
