  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VL379 - UoM &1 in item &2 is invalid (no conversion to stockkeeping unit) ?

    The SAP error message VL379 indicates that there is an issue with the unit of measure (UoM) for a specific item in a delivery or goods movement. The message states that the UoM for the item is invalid and that there is no conversion available to the stockkeeping unit (SKU). This can occur in various scenarios, such as during the creation of a delivery, goods issue, or goods receipt.

    Cause:

    1. Invalid Unit of Measure: The UoM specified for the item is not recognized or is not set up correctly in the system.
    2. Missing Conversion Factors: There may be no conversion factors defined between the UoM used in the transaction and the stockkeeping unit.
    3. Configuration Issues: The material master may not be configured properly for the UoM settings.
    4. Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the data related to the material, such as missing or incorrect entries in the material master.

    Solution:

    1. Check Material Master:

      • Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and check the UoM settings for the material in question.
      • Ensure that the UoM used in the transaction is defined in the material master and that it is valid.
    2. Define Conversion Factors:

      • If the UoM is valid but there is no conversion to the stockkeeping unit, you need to define the conversion factors.
      • This can be done in the material master under the "Units of Measure" view. Ensure that the conversion from the UoM to the stockkeeping unit is defined.
    3. Check UoM Configuration:

      • Ensure that the UoM is configured correctly in the system. This can be checked in the configuration settings (transaction code SPRO) under Logistics > Material Management > Basic Settings > Units of Measure.
    4. Review Transaction Data:

      • Check the transaction data to ensure that the correct UoM is being used. If the UoM is being entered manually, verify that it matches the UoM defined in the material master.
    5. Consult Documentation:

      • If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for further assistance.
