How To Fix VL267 - Specified conversion factor &1 does not match ratio &2:&3

VL267 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VL -

• Message number: 267

• Message text: Specified conversion factor &1 does not match ratio &2:&3

What causes this issue?

You have entered ratio &v2&:&v3& and conversion factor &v1& to convert
two quantities into various units of measure.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

The conversion factor in float data format lets you express a ratio
that requires a higher degree of accuracy than that achieved with
quotients made up of 5-digit numerators and denominators (ratios less
than 0.00001, for example).
Conversion factor &v1& can only be entered if it expresses the
quantitative ratio more accurately than the ratio &v2&:&v3& and
therefore may only deviate from this ratio by less than its accuracy
(0.00001).
Larger deviations must result in another ratio &v2&:&v3&.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VL267 - Specified conversion factor &1 does not match ratio &2:&3 ?

  The SAP error message VL267, which states "Specified conversion factor &1 does not match ratio &2:&3," typically occurs in the context of handling quantities and units of measure in logistics processes, particularly during the creation or processing of delivery documents.
  
  Cause:
  This error arises when there is a mismatch between the conversion factor specified for a particular unit of measure and the actual ratio defined in the material master or the relevant configuration settings. Specifically, it indicates that the system expected a certain conversion factor based on the defined ratio of units, but the provided conversion factor does not align with that expectation.
  For example, if you are trying to convert a quantity from one unit of measure to another (e.g., from pieces to boxes), the conversion factor you provide must match the ratio defined in the material master. If the material is defined to convert 1 box to 10 pieces, but you
