  SAP Message W4347
  Message Text:
  
  Material master texts per unit of measure .....: &
  
  Cause
  This warning message typically appears when there is an inconsistency or issue related to the material master texts that are maintained per unit of measure (UoM). Specifically, it often occurs when:
  
  Texts (such as long texts or descriptions) are maintained for a material but are not consistent or properly assigned for the specific unit of measure.
  There might be missing or incomplete text entries for certain units of measure.
  The system expects texts to be maintained per unit of measure, but they are either missing or incorrectly maintained.
  
  This message is a warning (W), not an error, so it does not stop processing but indicates that something should be checked or corrected.
  
  When Does It Occur?
  
  When maintaining or changing material master data, especially in the Basic Data or Additional Data views.
  When texts are maintained in transaction codes like MM02 or MM03.
  During data upload or migration if texts per unit of measure are involved.
  When using certain reports or transactions that read material master texts per unit of measure.
  
  
  Solution / How to Fix
  
  
  Check Material Master Texts:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material).
  Navigate to the Basic Data or Additional Data views where texts are maintained.
  Check the texts maintained for the material, especially those linked to specific units of measure.
  
  
  
  Maintain Missing Texts:
  
  If texts are missing for certain units of measure, maintain them properly.
  Use transaction MM02 (Change Material) to add or correct texts.
  
  
  
  Consistency Check:
  
  Ensure that the texts are consistent and correctly assigned to the relevant units of measure.
  If the material uses multiple units of measure (e.g., base unit, sales unit), verify that texts exist for each relevant UoM.
  
  
  
  Data Migration / Upload:
  
  If the message appears during data upload, verify the source data for completeness and correctness of texts per unit of measure.
  Correct the source data and re-upload if necessary.
  
  
  
  Ignore if Not Relevant:
  
  Since this is a warning, if the texts per unit of measure are not critical for your business process, you may choose to ignore it.
  However, it is recommended to review and maintain texts properly to avoid confusion.
