• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP465 - Planned unit of measure does not match base unit of measure ?

  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message WXP465: "Planned unit of measure does not match base unit of measure":
  
  Error Message:
  WXP465 - Planned unit of measure does not match base unit of measure
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when there is a mismatch between the planned unit of measure and the base unit of measure for a material in the context of planning or production orders.
  
  The base unit of measure (Base UoM) is the unit in which the material is managed in the material master (e.g., pieces, kilograms, liters).
  The planned unit of measure is the unit used in planning or production documents (e.g., planned order, production order).
  
  SAP requires that the planned unit of measure must be consistent with the base unit of measure or must be convertible without ambiguity. If the planned unit of measure differs and cannot be reconciled with the base unit of measure, this error is triggered.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During creation or processing of planned orders, production orders, or process orders.
  When the unit of measure entered in the planning or production document does not match or is incompatible with the base unit of measure defined in the material master.
  When BOM (Bill of Materials) or routing uses a different unit of measure than the base unit of measure and no proper conversion exists.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Material Master:
  
  Go to transaction MM03 and check the Base Unit of Measure for the material.
  Ensure that the base unit of measure is correctly maintained and consistent with the planning requirements.
  
  
  
  Check the Planned Order or Production Order:
  
  Verify the unit of measure used in the planned order or production order.
  It should either be the same as the base unit of measure or a unit that can be converted to the base unit of measure.
  
  
  
  Maintain Unit of Measure Conversion:
  
  If you need to use a different unit of measure in planning or production, ensure that the conversion factors between the planned unit and base unit are maintained.
  Use transaction CUNI to maintain units of measure and their conversions.
  Also, check the Material Master > Additional Data > Units of Measure tab to maintain alternative units of measure and conversion factors.
  
  
  
  Check BOM and Routing:
  
  Ensure that the units of measure in BOM components and routing operations are consistent with the base unit of measure or properly converted.
  
  
  
  Adjust Planning Parameters:
  
  If the planning run or MRP is using a different unit of measure, adjust the settings or master data to align with the base unit of measure.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Correct Planned Order:
  
  If the planned order was created with an incorrect unit of measure, delete and recreate it with the correct unit.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  The base unit of measure is a key field in the material master and cannot be changed easily once transactions exist for the material.
  Always maintain consistent units of measure across master data (material master, BOM, routing) to avoid such errors.
  This error is common in industries where materials are handled in multiple units (e.g., weight vs. pieces).
  SAP standard does not allow planned orders or production orders to have a unit of measure that conflicts with the base unit of measure without proper conversion.
