VL264 - Details

• The SAP error message VL264 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the conversion ratio used for handling stock transfer or delivery processes. Specifically, it suggests that the conversion ratio you are using (denoted as &3:&4) can be replaced by a more precise ratio (denoted as &1:&2). This typically occurs in scenarios involving unit of measure (UoM) conversions, where the system detects that the conversion ratio being applied is not optimal or exact.
  
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Unit of Measure Configuration: The UoM settings in the material master or the configuration for the specific material may not be set up correctly.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data related to the material, such as different conversion factors defined in different places.
  Manual Entry Errors: Users may have manually entered a conversion ratio that does not match the exact ratio defined in the system.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data: 
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03)
