• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WJ214 - Unit of measure & not maintained for material & ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WJ214 - Unit of measure & not maintained for material &
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you try to perform a transaction (such as creating or changing a document) involving a material, and the unit of measure (UoM) you are using is not maintained or defined for that material in the system.
  In SAP, each material has a base unit of measure and can have additional units of measure defined (alternative UoMs). If you use a UoM that is not assigned or maintained for the material master, SAP issues this warning.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The system checks if the unit of measure entered in the transaction is valid for the material.
  If the UoM is not maintained in the material master (in the Units of Measure view), the system cannot process the transaction correctly.
  This can happen in various modules like MM (Material Management), SD (Sales and Distribution), WM (Warehouse Management), etc.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Material Master:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material).
  Enter the material number.
  Navigate to the Units of Measure view.
  Verify if the unit of measure you are trying to use is maintained here.
  
  
  
  Maintain the Unit of Measure:
  
  If the UoM is missing, use transaction MM02 (Change Material).
  Go to the Units of Measure view.
  Add the required unit of measure and specify the conversion factor relative to the base unit of measure.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Use a Valid Unit of Measure:
  
  Alternatively, use a unit of measure that is already maintained for the material.
  
  
  
  Check Transaction Input:
  
  Ensure that the UoM entered in the transaction is correct and corresponds to the material's maintained UoMs.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  The base unit of measure is mandatory for every material.
  Alternative units of measure are optional but necessary if you want to transact in different units (e.g., box, pallet, piece).
  Conversion factors must be accurate to avoid quantity discrepancies.
  This message is a warning (WJ214), so the system may allow you to proceed, but it is recommended to correct the UoM to avoid inconsistencies.
