• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VK096 - Unit & is not a unit of weight ?

  The SAP error message VK096 ("Unit & is not a unit of weight") typically occurs in the context of pricing or material management when the system expects a unit of measure that is defined as a weight unit, but the provided unit does not meet this requirement. This can happen in various transactions, such as when creating or updating pricing conditions, material master data, or sales orders.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Unit of Measure: The unit of measure (UoM) being used in the transaction is not defined as a weight unit in the system. For example, using a unit like "pieces" (PC) instead of "kilograms" (KG) or "grams" (G) when the system expects a weight unit.
  Configuration Issues: The configuration in the SAP system may not correctly define the units of measure, or the unit of measure may not be assigned to the relevant material or pricing condition.
  Master Data Issues: The material master data may not have the correct unit of measure settings, or the unit of measure may not be maintained properly in the relevant views.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Unit of Measure: Verify the unit of measure being used in the transaction. Ensure that it is a valid weight unit as defined in the system.
  Review Material Master Data: Go to the material master (transaction MM03) and check the basic data and purchasing views to ensure that the correct units of measure are assigned.
  Configuration Check: If you have access to configuration, check the settings in the following areas:
  
  Units of Measure Configuration: Transaction code OME1 can be used to check the configuration of units of measure.
  Weight Unit Assignment: Ensure that the unit of measure is assigned to the relevant material types and pricing conditions.
  
  
  Use Correct UoM in Transactions: When entering data in transactions, ensure that you are using the correct unit of measure that corresponds to weight.
