• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WU213 - PP unit for material & overwritten in accordance with sales unit ?

  The SAP error message WU213 typically relates to issues with the unit of measure (UoM) in the context of production planning (PP) and sales order processing. This error indicates that there is a mismatch or inconsistency between the production unit of measure for a material and the sales unit of measure that has been defined or used in a sales order.
  Cause:
  
  Unit of Measure Mismatch: The production unit of measure (e.g., pieces, kilograms) for the material does not match the sales unit of measure defined in the sales order.
  Overwriting of Units: The system may be trying to overwrite the production unit of measure with the sales unit of measure, which is not allowed or not configured correctly.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the material master data, particularly in the units of measure settings.
  Data Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the data between the material master, sales order, and production order.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the units of measure defined for the material.
  Ensure that the sales unit of measure and the production unit of measure are correctly defined and compatible.
  
  
  
  Review Sales Order:
  
  Check the sales order (transaction code VA03) to see the unit of measure being used.
  Ensure that the sales order is using the correct unit of measure that corresponds to the material's production unit.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If necessary, adjust the configuration in the material master to ensure that the units of measure are set up correctly.
  You may need to consult with your SAP configuration team to ensure that the settings for units of measure are correctly defined in the system.
  
  
  
  Use Conversion Factors:
  
  If the production and sales units of measure are different but can be converted, ensure that the conversion factors are correctly defined in the material master.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Logic:
  
  If there are any custom developments or user exits that might be affecting the unit of measure handling, review those to ensure they are functioning as intended.
