  SAP Message WH089
  Message Text:
  The quantity entered for material &1 was converted into the base unit.
  
  Cause
  This message occurs when you enter a quantity for a material in a unit of measure (UoM) other than the material's base unit, and the system automatically converts the entered quantity into the material's base unit.
  
  Every material in SAP has a base unit of measure defined in the material master (MM02/MM03).
  When you enter a quantity in a different unit (e.g., boxes, cartons, pallets), SAP converts this quantity into the base unit (e.g., pieces, kilograms).
  The message is informational and not an error; it informs you that the system has performed a unit conversion.
  
  
  When does it appear?
  
  During goods movements (e.g., goods receipt, goods issue, transfer postings).
  During warehouse management transactions (e.g., transfer orders, putaway, picking).
  When entering quantities in a unit of measure different from the base unit.
