• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WU702 - Generic matl with units of measure as variants not allowed in promotion ?

  The SAP error message WU702, which states "Generic material with units of measure as variants not allowed in promotion," typically occurs in the context of promotions or pricing in SAP, particularly when dealing with generic materials that have multiple units of measure (UoM).
  Cause:
  
  Generic Material: The error arises when a generic material (a material that can have multiple variants or specifications) is being used in a promotion.
  Units of Measure: The specific issue is that the generic material has variants that are defined with different units of measure. SAP does not allow these types of materials to be included in promotions because it cannot determine how to apply the promotion across the different variants and their respective units of measure.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use Specific Materials: Instead of using a generic material, use specific materials that do not have variants with different units of measure. This will allow the promotion to be applied correctly.
  Review Material Master Data: Check the material master data for the generic material to ensure that it is set up correctly. If possible, consider creating specific materials for the promotion.
  Adjust Promotion Criteria: If the promotion must include the generic material, consider adjusting the promotion criteria to exclude generic materials or to handle them differently.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for any specific configurations or settings that may need to be adjusted in your system.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on handling promotions with generic materials.
  Promotion Configuration: Review the configuration settings for promotions in your SAP system to ensure they align with your business requirements.
