• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VHU01099 - Unit of measure &1 is not in table &2 (Customizing) ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  VHU01099 Unit of measure &1 is not in table &2 (Customizing)
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system tries to find a specific Unit of Measure (UoM) in a customizing table but cannot find it. The placeholders &1 and &2 represent:
  
  &1: The Unit of Measure code that the system is looking for.
  &2: The name of the customizing table where the UoM should be maintained.
  
  Typically, this happens during processes involving handling units, packaging, or logistics where the system expects a valid UoM entry in the customizing tables but the entry is missing or incorrectly maintained.
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  The UoM is used in packaging specifications or handling unit management but is not defined in the relevant customizing table.
  The UoM is missing in the Unit of Measure customizing or in the Handling Unit Management customizing.
  The UoM is not assigned or maintained in the Conversion Factors or Base Unit of Measure tables.
  The UoM is used in a process (e.g., delivery, shipment, packing) but not properly configured in the system.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify the UoM and Table:
  
  From the error message, note the UoM code (&1) and the table name (&2).
  The table is usually a customizing table related to units of measure or handling units, such as:
  
  T006 (Units of Measure)
  VHU* tables related to Handling Unit Management
  Other customizing tables depending on the module and process.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Unit of Measure in Customizing:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Logistics Execution ? Handling Unit Management ? Basic Settings ? Units of Measure.
  Or directly check SPRO ? Logistics - General ? Units of Measure ? Check Units of Measure.
  Verify if the UoM exists in the system.
  
  
  
  Maintain Missing UoM:
  
  If the UoM is missing, create or maintain it in the relevant customizing table.
  Ensure that the UoM is properly defined with the correct description, base unit, and conversion factors.
  
  
  
  Check Integration with Packaging Specifications:
  
  If the error occurs during packing or handling unit creation, check the packaging specifications and ensure the UoM used there is maintained.
  
  
  
  Check Conversion Factors:
  
  Ensure that conversion factors between the UoM and base units are maintained if applicable.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If you maintain the UoM in a development system, transport the changes to quality and production systems.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Notes:
  
  This error is common in scenarios involving Handling Unit Management (HUM), Packaging, and Logistics Execution.
  Always verify that the UoM is consistent across all relevant customizing tables.
  If the UoM is custom (not standard), ensure it is created following SAP guidelines.
  Sometimes, the error can be caused by a typo or incorrect UoM code in master data or transaction data.
