  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR407 - The conversion for & & is missing in table T006U ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    VR407 - The conversion for & & is missing in table T006U


    Meaning / Cause:

    This error occurs when SAP tries to perform a unit of measure (UoM) conversion but cannot find the required conversion factor or rule in the table T006U.

    • T006U is the SAP standard table that stores conversion factors between different units of measure within the same unit group.
    • The message indicates that the system is trying to convert from one unit of measure to another, but the conversion entry is missing.
    • The placeholders & & in the message represent the source and target units of measure involved in the conversion.

    When does it occur?

    • During material master data processing, sales order entry, delivery processing, or any transaction where unit conversions are required.
    • For example, converting from "KG" to "G" or "L" to "ML" when the conversion factor is not maintained.
    • It can also happen if a custom or non-standard unit of measure is used without proper conversion entries.

    How to check:

    1. Identify the source and target units of measure from the error message or the transaction context.
    2. Go to transaction SM30 or SE16N and view table T006U.
    3. Check if there is an entry for the conversion between these two units of measure.
    4. Also, verify the unit group in table T006 for the material's base unit and the unit you want to convert to.

    Solution:

    1. Maintain the missing conversion factor:

      • Use transaction CUNI (Units of Measure) to maintain units and their conversions.
      • In CUNI, select the relevant unit group and add the missing conversion factor between the two units.
      • Save the changes.
    2. Check unit groups:

      • Ensure both units belong to the same unit group in table T006.
      • If they belong to different unit groups, conversion is not possible unless a special conversion is maintained.
    3. Use standard units:

      • If possible, use standard SAP units of measure that already have conversions maintained.
    4. Custom units:

      • For custom units, ensure all necessary conversions are maintained in CUNI.

    Additional Information:

    • Table T006: Contains unit groups and units of measure.
    • Table T006U: Contains conversion factors between units within the same unit group.
    • Transaction CUNI: Used to maintain units of measure and conversion factors.
    • Related SAP Notes: Sometimes SAP releases notes related to unit conversion issues; check SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error VR407 - Conversion missing in T006U
    Cause Missing conversion factor between units
    Table involved T006U (unit conversions)
    Solution Maintain conversion factor in CUNI
