• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WV104 - Sales unit entered not allowed ?

  The SAP error message WV104: Sales unit entered not allowed typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the sales unit specified in a sales order or delivery and the allowed sales units defined in the material master or the relevant configuration settings. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Sales Unit: The sales unit entered in the transaction does not match the sales units defined for the material in the material master.
  Configuration Issues: The allowed sales units for the material may not be properly configured in the system.
  Unit of Measure (UoM) Settings: The unit of measure settings in the material master may not include the sales unit being used.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master:

  Ensure that the sales unit you are trying to use is listed as an allowed sales unit.
  
  
  
  Update Sales Unit:
  
  If the sales unit is not allowed, you may need to change the sales unit in your sales order or delivery to one that is allowed.

  Review UoM Configuration:

  Navigate to Logistics > General > Master Data > Material Master > Define Units of Measure and ensure that the sales unit is correctly defined.
