- Alternative unit of measure & is missing in material master record & ?SAP Error Message: VH146 - Alternative unit of measure & is missing in material master record &
Cause: This error occurs when you try to perform a transaction (such as goods movement, delivery, or invoice posting) involving a material with a unit of measure (UoM) that is not maintained as an alternative unit of measure in the material master record. In other words, the system expects the unit of measure you are using to be defined as an alternative UoM for the material, but it is missing.
