  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SP003 - Unit & does not correspond to stockkeeping unit & ?

    The SAP error message SP003 typically indicates a mismatch between the unit of measure (UoM) specified in a transaction and the stockkeeping unit (SKU) defined in the system. This error can occur in various scenarios, such as during goods movements, inventory management, or when processing sales orders.

    Cause:

    1. Unit of Measure Mismatch: The unit of measure used in the transaction does not match the unit of measure defined for the material in the material master.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The material master may not be properly configured to handle the specified unit of measure.
    3. Conversion Issues: If there are conversion factors defined between different units of measure, they may not be set up correctly.
    4. Stockkeeping Unit Definition: The stockkeeping unit may not be defined for the specific unit of measure being used in the transaction.

    Solution:

    1. Check Material Master:

      • Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and verify the units of measure defined for the material.
      • Ensure that the base unit of measure and any alternative units of measure are correctly set up.
    2. Review Transaction Data:

      • Check the transaction data where the error occurred. Ensure that the unit of measure being used matches one of the units defined in the material master.
    3. Adjust Unit of Measure:

      • If the unit of measure in the transaction is incorrect, adjust it to match the unit defined in the material master.
    4. Check Conversion Factors:

      • If you are using alternative units of measure, ensure that the conversion factors are correctly defined in the material master.
    5. Consult Configuration:

      • If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the settings for units of measure and stockkeeping units are correctly configured in the system.
    6. Testing:

      • After making the necessary adjustments, test the transaction again to ensure that the error is resolved.
