WPM_PROMO_2005 - Details

• SAP Error Message:
  WPM_PROMO_2005 – Components have different unit of measure from promotion articles
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs in SAP Promotion Management (WPM) when the components (materials or articles) included in a promotion have a different unit of measure (UoM) than the promotion article itself. The system expects the components and the promotion article to have consistent units of measure to correctly calculate quantities, prices, and discounts.
