• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /STTPEC/INT_TRN_MSG039 - Conversion to alternative UoMs is started... (&1CLNT&2) ?

  The SAP error message /STTPEC/INT_TRN_MSG039 indicates that there is an issue related to the conversion of units of measure (UoMs) during a transaction. This message typically arises in the context of logistics or inventory management when the system attempts to convert quantities from one unit of measure to another, but encounters a problem.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Conversion Factors: The most common cause is that the conversion factors between the base unit of measure and the alternative unit of measure are not defined in the system.
  Incorrect UoM Configuration: There may be an issue with the configuration of the units of measure in the material master or the relevant settings in the system.
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the data, such as incorrect entries in the material master or transaction data.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the conversion.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the units of measure tab. Ensure that the conversion factors between the base UoM and the alternative UoMs are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Define Conversion Factors:
  
  If conversion factors are missing, you can define them in the material master. Use transaction code MM02 to update the material master and add the necessary conversion factors.
  
  
  
  Review UoM Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for units of measure in the SAP system. This can be done through transaction code SPRO and navigating to the relevant configuration area for materials management.
  
  
  
  Check for Data Inconsistencies:
  
  Run consistency checks on the material data to identify any discrepancies. You can use transaction codes like MM17 for mass changes or MM02 for individual checks.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the transaction. This can be checked with the help of your SAP security team.
