• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_AT117 - Order unit is different from stock transfer unit ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WRF_AT117: Order unit is different from stock transfer unit:
  
  Error Message:
  WRF_AT117: Order unit is different from stock transfer unit
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when there is a mismatch between the order unit and the stock transfer unit in a production or procurement process. Specifically, the unit of measure (UoM) used for ordering the material differs from the unit of measure used for stock transfer or goods movement.
  
  
  In SAP, materials can have multiple units of measure:
  
  Base unit of measure (stockkeeping unit)
  Order unit (unit in which the material is ordered)
  Stock transfer unit (unit used for stock transfer or goods movement)
  
  
  
  The system expects consistency or a valid conversion between these units during processes like production order creation, stock transfer posting, or purchase order processing.
  
  
  If the order unit and stock transfer unit are not aligned or if the system cannot convert between them properly, this error is triggered.
  
  
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  During creation or processing of production orders or process orders.
  When posting goods movements related to stock transfer.
  When the material master data has inconsistent or missing unit of measure configuration.
  When the order unit and stock transfer unit are defined differently in the material master or in the order.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 (Display Material).
  Check the Units of Measure tab.
  Verify the Base Unit of Measure, Order Unit, and Stock Transfer Unit.
  Ensure that the order unit and stock transfer unit are either the same or have a valid conversion factor defined.
  
  
  
  Maintain Conversion Factors:
  
  If the units differ, ensure that the conversion factors between the order unit and stock transfer unit are correctly maintained.
  Use transaction CUNI or check the unit of measure conversion in the material master.
  
  
  
  Adjust Order or Stock Transfer Unit:
  
  If possible, align the order unit and stock transfer unit to be the same.
  Alternatively, adjust the production order or procurement document to use the correct unit.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration in Production/Procurement:
  
  Verify if any customizations or user exits are enforcing unit consistency.
  Check if the order type or movement type settings require specific units.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Correct the Order:
  
  If the order was created with inconsistent units, cancel and recreate it with correct units.

  Summary:
  The WRF_AT117 error is caused by a mismatch between the order unit and stock transfer unit for a material. To resolve it, verify and align the units of measure in the material master and ensure proper conversion factors exist. Adjust the order or stock transfer process accordingly to maintain consistency.
