  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VF_PRC_QTYCNVFACT003 - Unit of measure &1 not defined ?

    The SAP error message:

    VF_PRC_QTYCNVFACT003: Unit of measure &1 not defined


    Cause:

    This error occurs during billing or pricing when the system tries to convert quantities between units of measure (UoM), but the specified unit of measure (&1) is not defined or maintained in the system. Essentially, the system cannot find the unit of measure in the relevant configuration tables, so it cannot perform the quantity conversion required for pricing or billing.

    Common scenarios include:

    • The unit of measure used in the sales document or material master is not maintained in the unit of measure conversion tables.
    • The unit of measure is missing in the system or incorrectly entered.
    • The unit of measure is not assigned or maintained in the material master or sales document.
    • Missing or incorrect entries in the unit of measure conversion table (T006 or T006A).

    Solution:

    1. Check the Unit of Measure:

      • Verify the unit of measure (&1) mentioned in the error message.
      • Check if this unit of measure exists in the system (transaction CUNI or table T006).
    2. Maintain Unit of Measure:

      • If the unit of measure does not exist, create it using transaction CUNI (Units of Measure).
      • Ensure the unit of measure is active and correctly defined.
    3. Maintain Unit of Measure Conversion:

      • Check if the conversion factor between the unit of measure used in the sales document/material and the base unit of measure is maintained.
      • Use transaction CUNI or check table T006A for conversion factors.
      • Maintain the conversion factor if missing.
    4. Check Material Master:

      • Go to transaction MM03 and verify the base unit of measure and alternative units of measure for the material.
      • Ensure the unit of measure used in the sales document is consistent with the material master.
    5. Check Sales Document:

      • Verify the unit of measure entered in the sales order or billing document.
      • Correct the unit of measure if it is incorrect or inconsistent.
    6. Reprocess the Billing Document:

      • After corrections, try to reprocess the billing document or pricing procedure.
