• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SPE/RET110 - Unit of measure of request (&1) and of approval (&2) do no match ?

  The SAP error message /SPE/RET110 indicates a mismatch between the unit of measure (UoM) of a request and the unit of measure of an approval in the context of a return process, typically in the SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) or similar modules. This error can occur during processes such as return deliveries, purchase order returns, or similar transactions where quantities and units of measure are involved.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Different Units of Measure: The unit of measure for the item in the return request does not match the unit of measure for the corresponding approval. For example, if the request is in "pieces" and the approval is in "boxes," this mismatch will trigger the error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the material master or in the relevant document types that lead to discrepancies in how units of measure are defined or converted.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors during the creation of the return request or approval can lead to mismatched units of measure.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Units of Measure:
  
  Review the units of measure for both the return request and the approval. Ensure that they match. You can do this by checking the relevant documents in SAP.
  If necessary, convert the quantities to the same unit of measure before submitting the request.
  
  
  
  Adjust the Return Request:
  
  If the return request was created incorrectly, you may need to delete or modify it to ensure that the unit of measure matches the approval.
  
  
  
  Review Material Master Data:
  
  Check the material master data for the item in question. Ensure that the base unit of measure and any alternative units of measure are correctly defined.
  If there are discrepancies, you may need to update the material master.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings:
  
  If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to units of measure in the relevant modules. This may involve checking the configuration for the material type, purchasing organization, or other relevant settings.
  
  
  
  User Training:
  
  Ensure that users involved in the return process are trained on how to correctly enter and manage units of measure to prevent future occurrences of this error.
