  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CWM/MM001 - Transfer the parallel entry quantity/entry unit of measure ?

    The SAP error message /CWM/MM001 Transfer the parallel entry quantity/entry unit of measure typically occurs in the context of materials management and inventory management processes, particularly when dealing with parallel units of measure in SAP. This error indicates that there is an issue with the conversion or transfer of quantities between different units of measure.

    Cause:

    1. Unit of Measure Configuration: The error may arise if the unit of measure (UoM) settings for the material are not correctly configured. This includes the base unit of measure and any parallel units of measure that are defined.
    2. Missing Conversion Factors: If the conversion factors between the base unit of measure and the parallel unit of measure are not defined or are incorrect, the system will not be able to perform the necessary calculations.
    3. Data Entry Errors: Incorrect data entry during the transaction can lead to discrepancies in the expected quantities and units of measure.
    4. Material Master Data Issues: If the material master data is incomplete or incorrect, it can lead to issues when trying to process transactions involving that material.

    Solution:

    1. Check Material Master Data: Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03) and verify the unit of measure settings. Ensure that the base unit of measure and any parallel units of measure are correctly defined.
    2. Review Conversion Factors: Ensure that the conversion factors between the base unit of measure and the parallel unit of measure are correctly set up in the material master. This can be done in the "Units of Measure" view of the material master.
    3. Correct Data Entry: If the error occurred during a transaction, review the data entered for accuracy. Ensure that the quantities and units of measure are correct and consistent.
    4. Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the configuration, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for guidance on setting up units of measure correctly.

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.
