SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 057

• Message text: Quantity in base Un is re-calculated --> long text

What causes this issue?

You have entered quantities in alternative units of measure and base
units of measure for a material that is managed in product quantities.

System Response

The quantity in base units of measure is calculated from the quantity
in alternative units of measure.

How to fix this error?

By entering a quantity in one unit of measure, you can have it
calculated in the other unit of measure.
By choosing Change header net quantity..., you can enter quantities
both in product units and in base units of measure. This means that you
can change the conversion factor of the production order in the
material master record.
This changed conversion factor between product units and base units of
measure can be used to determine the conversion factor of the batch
produced when goods are received for a production order.

Procedure for System Administrators

This error can arise during various transactions, such as goods movements, inventory counts, or when working with batch management.
  Cause:
  
  
  Unit of Measure (UoM) Issues: The error often indicates that there is a mismatch or inconsistency in the unit of measure being used for the material. For example, if the system expects a certain base unit of measure but receives a different one, it may trigger this error.
  
  
  Conversion Factors: If the conversion factors between different units of measure are not correctly defined or if there are changes in the master data that affect how quantities are calculated, this can lead to recalculation errors.
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: Inconsistencies in the material master data, such as incorrect settings for the base unit of measure or alternative units of measure, can also cause this error.
  
  
  Batch Management: If batch management is enabled and there are issues with batch-specific quantities, this error may occur.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data: Review the material master data for the affected material. Ensure that the base unit of measure and any alternative units of measure are correctly defined. You can do this by navigating to the material master (transaction code MM03) and checking the relevant views.
  
  
  Review Conversion Factors: Verify that the conversion factors between different units of measure are correctly set up. This can be done in the material master under the "Units of Measure" tab.
  
  
  Transaction Review: If the error occurs during a specific transaction, review the details of that transaction. Ensure that the quantities being entered are in the correct unit of measure and that they align with the expected values.
  
  
  Batch Information: If batch management is involved, check the batch information to ensure that the quantities are correctly defined and that there are no discrepancies.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed information on handling unit of measure issues and error messages.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on resolving it.
