How To Fix VO211 - Unit of measure & is not assigned to a UoM load category

VO211 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: VO - W&S: Rough workload forecast + picking wave

• Message number: 211

• Message text: Unit of measure & is not assigned to a UoM load category

What causes this issue?

You have entered a document item that contains a material with the unit
of measure &V1&.
For this unit of measure, the system tried to determine a
<DS:DE.METYP>unit-of-measure load category</> for a workload
calculation. However, the system could not find any allocation.

System Response

The system cannot determine a workload because there is no
unit-of-measure load category.
Data cumulation in the information system at the level of the
unit-of-measure load category for the rough workload forecast in the
warehouse or the picking waves in shipping is not possible.

How to fix this error?

If the materials with unit of measure &V1& are not included in the
workload calculation, nothing needs to be done.
If these are to be included, however, contact your Customizing
specialist or enter the missing allocation in Customizing for the rough
workload forecast.

VO211 - Details

• SAP Error Message:

  The UoM you are using in a transaction (e.g., delivery, transfer order, packing, etc.) is not linked to any UoM load category.
  The system requires that every UoM used in loading or packing processes be assigned to a load category to correctly calculate volumes, weights, or capacities.
  Without this assignment, the system cannot determine how to handle the UoM in loading or packing calculations, hence the error.
  
  
  Explanation:
  In SAP, UoM Load Categories are used to group units of measure for loading and packing purposes. For example, you might have load categories for weight, volume, or quantity. Each UoM must be
