SAP Error Message - Details

• 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&.
