  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CWM/MD030 - No parallel units of measure found for material &1 ?

    The SAP error message /CWM/MD030 No parallel units of measure found for material &1 typically occurs in the context of the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module, particularly when dealing with materials that have not been properly configured with parallel units of measure.

    Cause:

    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:

    1. Missing Configuration: The material may not have been set up with parallel units of measure in the material master.
    2. Incorrect Material Type: The material type may not support parallel units of measure.
    3. Data Inconsistencies: There may be inconsistencies or missing data in the material master record.

    Solution:

    To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:

    1. Check Material Master Data:

      • Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
      • Check the "Basic Data" and "Sales Org. Data" views to ensure that parallel units of measure are defined.
      • If they are missing, you can add them using transaction code MM02 (Change Material).
    2. Define Parallel Units of Measure:

      • In the material master, ensure that you have defined the necessary parallel units of measure. This can be done in the "Units of Measure" section.
      • Make sure that the conversion factors between the base unit and the parallel units are correctly defined.
    3. 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 SPRO).
      • Navigate to Logistics - General > Material Master > Basic Settings > Define Attributes of Material Types.
    4. Data Consistency Check:

      • Run a consistency check on the material master data to identify any other potential issues that may be causing the error.
    5. Consult Documentation:

      • If the issue persists, consult SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP support team for further assistance.

    Related Information:

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.
