This error indicates that the system is unable to find any parallel units of measure for the specified material (denoted by
&1
). Parallel units of measure are necessary for certain planning processes, especially when dealing with different units of measure for the same material (e.g., base unit of measure and sales unit of measure).Possible Causes:
- Missing Configuration: The material may not have been set up with parallel units of measure in the material master.
- Incorrect Material Type: The material type may not support parallel units of measure.
- Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies or missing data in the material master record.

- Make sure that the conversion factors between the base unit and the parallel units are correctly defined.
Check Material Type Settings:
- Ensure that the material type allows for parallel units of measure. You can check this in the configuration settings (transaction code

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
