• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WB2_ASGT084 - Sub-assgmt cannot be created: different UoM for assgmt and shadow item ?

  The SAP error message WB2_ASGT084 indicates that there is an issue with the unit of measure (UoM) when trying to create a sub-assignment in the system. Specifically, the error occurs when the unit of measure for the assignment item does not match the unit of measure for the shadow item. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when dealing with inventory management, material assignments, or logistics processes.
  
  Cause:
  
  Different Units of Measure: The primary cause of this error is that the unit of measure for the main assignment item is different from that of the shadow item. For example, if the main item is measured in kilograms (kg) and the shadow item is measured in pieces (pcs), the system will not allow the creation of the sub-assignment.
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the material master or in the assignment settings that lead to discrepancies in the units of measure.
