How To Fix XU040 - The qty stored that was entered is adjusted

XU040 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: XU - Messages for Quantity Conversion at Batch Level (Steel-AI)

• Message number: 040

• Message text: The qty stored that was entered is adjusted

What causes this issue?

You have entered a quantity in alternative units of measure and in
stockkeeping units for a material with product units. The system could
not calculate an exact conversion factor between stockkeeping unit and
alternative unit.

System Response

The system calculates a conversion factor that can be represented
exactly. The system recalculates the given quantities using this new
factor. As a result of this, quantities you have entered may be lost.

How to fix this error?

Check the recalculated quantities.
If you do not want to transfer this value, enter the conversion factor
between this alternative UoM and the stockkeeping UoM in the batch
classification. To do this, valuate the characteristic value for the
alternative UoM.
You can also overwrite the suggested quantities again.
Then, check whether the new entry is transferred.
