    SAP Error Message VH130: "There are no units of measurement available"


    Cause:

    The error message VH130 typically occurs in SAP when the system cannot find any valid units of measurement (UoM) for a material or transaction. This usually happens because:

    • The material master record does not have any units of measurement maintained.
    • The relevant unit of measurement is not assigned or is missing in the material master.
    • The unit of measurement is not defined or active in the system.
    • The transaction or process requires a specific UoM that is not available or maintained.
    • Configuration issues in the unit of measurement settings or missing conversion factors.

    Solution:

    To resolve the VH130 error, follow these steps:

    1. Check Material Master Data:

      • Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material).
      • Check the Basic Data 1 and Additional Data views.
      • Verify that the Base Unit of Measure is maintained.
      • Check if alternative units of measurement are maintained under the Units of Measure tab.
    2. Maintain Units of Measurement:

      • If units are missing, maintain them in the material master using MM02 (Change Material).
      • Ensure that the base unit and any required alternative units are correctly assigned.
    3. Check Unit of Measurement Configuration:

      • Use transaction CUNI to check if the unit of measurement exists and is active.
      • If the unit is missing, create or activate it as needed.
    4. Maintain Conversion Factors:

      • If alternative units are used, ensure that conversion factors between units are maintained correctly in the material master.
    5. Check Transaction-Specific Settings:

      • Some transactions or processes may require specific units of measurement.
      • Verify the process documentation or configuration to ensure the required UoM is available.
    6. Reprocess the Transaction:

      • After correcting the units of measurement, retry the transaction.
