• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VK364 - Unit & is not a unit of distance ?

  The SAP error message VK364 ("Unit & is not a unit of distance") typically occurs in the context of pricing or condition records in SAP, particularly when dealing with the pricing procedure in the Sales and Distribution (SD) module. This error indicates that the unit of measure (UoM) being used in a pricing condition is not recognized as a valid unit of distance.
  Cause:
  
  
  Incorrect Unit of Measure: The unit of measure specified in the pricing condition is not defined as a unit of distance in the system. For example, if you are trying to use a unit like "KG" (kilograms) or "PC" (pieces) in a context where a distance unit like "KM" (kilometers) is expected, this error will occur.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: The configuration settings in the SAP system may not have the correct units of measure defined or linked to the relevant pricing conditions.
  
  
  Data Entry Errors: There may be a mistake in the data entry where an incorrect unit of measure was inputted.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Unit of Measure: Verify the unit of measure being used in the pricing condition. Ensure that it is a valid unit of distance (e.g., KM, M, etc.). You can check this in the relevant condition record or pricing procedure.
  
  
  Review Configuration: If you have access to the configuration settings, check the following:
  
  Go to the transaction code CUNI to review the units of measure defined in the system.
  Ensure that the unit of measure you are trying to use is defined and categorized correctly as a unit of distance.
  
  
  
  Adjust Condition Records: If the unit of measure is incorrect, you may need to adjust the condition records to use the correct unit of measure that is recognized as a unit of distance.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct units of measure or how to configure them, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP functional consultant.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, perform a test transaction to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as VK11 (Create Condition), VK12 (Change Condition), and VK13 (Display Condition) for managing pricing conditions.
  Unit of Measure Configuration: Understanding how units of measure are configured in SAP can help prevent similar issues in the future. This includes knowing how to categorize units and their relationships.
