How To Fix WXP464 - Unit of measure could not be passed on fully

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: WXP - Retail Planning

• Message number: 464

• Message text: Unit of measure could not be passed on fully

What causes this issue?

You have created the unit of measure for a node &V1& in planning
hierarchy maintenance. This unit of measure is automatically attributed
to all the nodes in the subtree below node &V1&. The unit of measure
was also passed on to the material planning level. However, the unit of
measure &V2& inherited is not the base unit of measure of the material.

System Response

No unit of measure is assigned to the material.

How to fix this error?

Note that the disaggregation of quantity key figures to nodes with
different units of measure is of no use. Therefore check that the units
of measure of the notes that will receive disaggregated data are all
the same.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP464 - Unit of measure could not be passed on fully ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WXP464: Unit of measure could not be passed on fully:
  
  Error Message:
  WXP464 - Unit of measure could not be passed on fully
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs during the transfer of data between SAP components or modules (for example, when passing data from Sales and Distribution (SD) to Production Planning (PP), or from Sales to Billing, or during output processing). The root cause is that the unit of measure (UoM) used in the source document or process cannot be fully transferred or converted to the target process or system because:
  
  The unit of measure is not defined or recognized in the target system or module.
  There is no valid conversion factor between the source UoM and the target UoM.
  The UoM is missing in the relevant customizing or master data.
  The UoM is not maintained in the relevant tables or configuration (e.g., in the material master, sales unit, or output determination).
  The system expects a different UoM or cannot handle the UoM due to configuration inconsistencies.
  
  
  Where it occurs:
  
  During output processing (e.g., printing or electronic output of documents).
  During data transfer between modules (e.g., SD to PP, SD to MM).
  When creating or processing sales documents, deliveries, or billing documents.
  When the system tries to pass the UoM to an external system or interface.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Unit of Measure Configuration:
  
  Verify that the unit of measure used in the source document is defined in the system.
  Use transaction CUNI to check and maintain units of measure.
  Ensure that the UoM is active and valid.
  
  
  
  Check Unit of Measure Conversion:
  
  Verify that conversion factors between the source UoM and the target UoM exist.
  Use transaction CUNI or CUNI_C to maintain conversion factors.
  If necessary, create or correct the conversion factors.
  
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Verify that the material master has the correct base unit of measure and sales unit of measure maintained.
  Use transaction MM03 to check the material master.
  Ensure that the UoM used in the sales document matches the material master data.
  
  
  
  Check Output Determination and Forms:
  
  If the error occurs during output processing, check the output type configuration.
  Verify that the output form or program can handle the UoM.
  Check if the UoM is correctly passed to the output program or interface.
  
  
  
  Check Customizing for Sales and Distribution:
  
  Use transaction SPRO and navigate to:
  
  Sales and Distribution ? Basic Functions ? Units of Measure ? Check Units of Measure.
  
  
  Ensure that the UoM is maintained and consistent.
  
  
  
  Check Interfaces and ALE/IDoc Settings:
  
  If the UoM is passed via IDoc or interface, check the mapping and conversion in the interface.
  Ensure that the receiving system recognizes the UoM.
  
  
  
  Debugging and Logs:
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, debug the process where the error occurs.
  Check application logs (transaction SLG1) for more detailed error messages.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  The error message is a warning or error depending on the process and configuration.
  It is important to maintain consistent units of measure across all relevant master data and customizing to avoid such errors.
  Sometimes, the error can be bypassed by adjusting the UoM in the sales document or material master to a standard unit.
  SAP Notes and OSS messages may provide specific corrections or patches if this is a known issue in a particular SAP release.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  
  
  Aspect
  Details
  
  
  
  
  Cause
  UoM not recognized or convertible in target process/module; missing or incorrect config.
  
  
  Solution
  Maintain UoM and conversion factors; check material master; verify output and interfaces.
