Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS215 - No unit of measure passed on ?

  The SAP error message WS215: No unit of measure passed on typically occurs in scenarios involving handling units (HUs) or material movements where the system expects a unit of measure (UoM) but does not receive one.
  
  Cause
  
  The system requires a unit of measure for a material or handling unit during processing (e.g., goods movement, packing, or handling unit creation).
  The unit of measure field is either empty, missing, or not correctly passed from the preceding process or input.
  This can happen if:
  
  The material master data does not have a base unit of measure maintained.
  The transaction or program does not correctly transfer the UoM.
  Custom code or user exits/enhancements fail to provide the UoM.
  Incorrect or incomplete data entry in the transaction.
  
  
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Verify that the material involved has a valid Base Unit of Measure maintained in MM01/MM02.
  Ensure that the UoM is consistent and correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Input:
  
  When entering data manually, ensure that the unit of measure is entered where required.
  In automated processes, check the data source or interface to confirm the UoM is passed correctly.
  
  
  
  Debug or Analyze Program Logic:
  
  If the error occurs in a custom program or enhancement, debug to check why the UoM is not passed.
  Ensure that the UoM field is populated before the system call that triggers the error.
  
  
  
  Check Handling Unit Configuration:
  
  If handling units are involved, verify that the handling unit types and packing instructions are correctly configured.
  Confirm that the system can determine the UoM from the handling unit or material.
