Message type: E = Error
Message class: VHURL - Messages for Returnable Packaging Account Processing
Message number: 185
Message text: Units of measure for account &1 and offsetting account &2 do not match
A transfer posting implicitly involves two accounts. Consequently, two
account postings are created with opposing +/- signs. In order to
compare the accounts, the base unit of measure must be the same for
both. In the time interval between the creation of accounts 1 and 2,
the base unit of measure for the returnable packaging was changed in
the material master.
Transfer posting cannot be carried out.
In the returnable packaging logistics master data, make sure that each
account has the same base unit of measure.

VHURL185
- Units of measure for account &1 and offsetting account &2 do not match ?The SAP error message VHURL185 indicates that there is a mismatch in the units of measure (UoM) between two accounts involved in a transaction. Specifically, it occurs when the units of measure for the specified account (account &1) and the offsetting account (account &2) do not match, which can lead to inconsistencies in financial reporting and data integrity.
Cause:
- Different Units of Measure: The primary cause of this error is that the two accounts involved in the transaction are set up with different units of measure. For example, one account may be configured to use kilograms while the other uses pounds.
- Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the material master or in the account settings that define how units of measure are assigned to different accounts.
- Transaction Type: The type of transaction being processed may require that both accounts use the same unit of measure, and if they do not, this error will be triggered.
Solution:
Check Account Configuration: Review the configuration of both accounts (account &1 and account &2) in the SAP system. Ensure that they are set up to use the same unit of measure.
- Go to the relevant account settings in the SAP GUI and verify the unit of measure assigned to each account.
Adjust Material Master Data: If the accounts are linked to material master data, check the material master records to ensure that the units of measure are consistent across all relevant views (e.g., purchasing, sales, accounting).
- Use transaction code
MM03
to view the material master data and check the units of measure.Transaction Review: Review the transaction that is causing the error. Ensure that the quantities being posted are in the correct unit of measure and that they align with the accounts being used.
Consult Documentation: If necessary, consult SAP documentation or your organization's SAP support team for guidance on how to resolve unit of measure discrepancies.
Testing: After making the necessary adjustments, test the transaction again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
