  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VF_PRC_QTYCNVFACT006 - No suitable conversion factor maintained for the document ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    VF_PRC_QTYCNVFACT006: No suitable conversion factor maintained for the document


    Cause:

    This error occurs during billing document processing (transaction VF01, VF02, or VF03) when SAP tries to convert quantities between different units of measure (UoM) but cannot find a valid conversion factor.

    Specifically, the system attempts to convert the sales order or delivery quantity unit to the billing document unit, or vice versa, and fails because:

    • No conversion factor is maintained between the units of measure involved.
    • The units of measure are inconsistent or missing in the material master or condition records.
    • The system cannot find a conversion factor in the unit of measure conversion table (T006 or T006A).
    • The billing document item uses a unit of measure that is not linked or convertible to the sales order or delivery unit.

    Where does this happen?

    • During billing document creation or update (VF01, VF02).
    • When the billing document item quantity unit differs from the sales order or delivery unit.
    • When the system tries to calculate pricing or quantity-based conditions that require unit conversion.

    Solution:

    1. Check Units of Measure in Material Master:

      • Go to transaction MM03.
      • Check the Base Unit of Measure and other units maintained under Additional Data > Units of Measure.
      • Ensure that the units used in sales order, delivery, and billing document are maintained and consistent.
    2. Maintain Unit of Measure Conversion Factors:

      • Use transaction CUNI or SPRO path:
        • SPRO ? Logistics - General ? Units of Measure ? Check Units of Measure
      • Verify that the conversion factors between the units involved are maintained correctly.
      • For example, if the sales order is in "PC" (pieces) and billing document is in "BOX", ensure conversion factor between PC and BOX exists.
    3. Check Sales Document and Billing Document Units:

      • Verify the units of measure used in sales order (VA03) and delivery (VL03N).
      • Check the billing document item unit of measure.
      • Make sure the units are compatible or convertible.
    4. Maintain Condition Records:

      • Sometimes pricing conditions are maintained with specific units.
      • Check condition records in VK11/VK12 to ensure units are consistent.
    5. Customizing Check:

      • Check if any user-exits or BADIs are modifying units or quantities during billing.
      • Ensure no custom logic is causing unit mismatch.
    6. Recreate or Adjust Billing Document:

      • If the billing document was created with wrong units, try to recreate it with correct units.

    Additional Information:

    • T006 table stores units of measure.
    • T006A stores conversion factors between units.
    • The error is common when dealing with materials that have multiple units of measure (e.g., weight, volume, pieces).
    • Always maintain consistent units across sales, delivery, and billing documents to avoid this error.
    • If you use third-party units or customer-specific units, ensure they are properly configured.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error No suitable conversion factor maintained for the document
    Cause Missing or incorrect unit of measure conversion factor between sales/delivery/billing units
    Solution Maintain unit conversions in material master and customizing; ensure consistent units
    Transactions MM03 (material master), CUNI (unit conversion), VF01/VF02 (billing), VA03 (sales order)
    Tables T006 (units), T006A (conversion factors)

    If you need, I can guide you step-by-step on how to check and maintain the unit conversions.
