• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CWM/MM096 - &1 not a parallel unit of measure; Entry not permitted ?

  The SAP error message /CWM/MM096 &1 not a parallel unit of measure; Entry not permitted typically occurs in the context of material management when there is an issue with the unit of measure (UoM) configuration for a material. This error indicates that the unit of measure you are trying to use is not defined as a parallel unit of measure for the material in question.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Unit of Measure: The unit of measure you are trying to use is not set up as a parallel unit of measure in the material master data.
  Configuration Issues: The material master may not have the necessary settings for parallel units of measure, which are used for conversions between different units of measure.
  Data Entry Error: There may be a mistake in the data entry where an invalid or non-existent unit of measure is being referenced.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data:
  
  Go to the material master record (transaction code MM03).
  Check the "Units of Measure" view to see if the unit of measure you are trying to use is listed as a parallel unit of measure.
  If it is not listed, you may need to add it.
  
  
  
  Define Parallel Units of Measure:
  
  If the unit of measure is not defined as a parallel unit, you can define it in the material master.
  Use transaction code MM02 to modify the material master and add the required unit of measure in the "Units of Measure" view.
  
  
  
  Check UoM Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the unit of measure is correctly configured in the system. You can check this in the configuration settings (transaction code SPRO).
  Navigate to Logistics - General > Material Master > Basic Settings > Units of Measure to review the settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help files for more details on how to manage units of measure in the material master.
  
  
  
  User Authorization:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the material master data.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Parallel Units of Measure: These are additional units of measure that can be used for a material, allowing for conversions between different units (e.g., kilograms and grams).
  Material Master Views: The material master has various views, and the "Units of Measure" view is crucial for defining how a material can be measured and managed in the system.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message, as there may be known issues or fixes available.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in material management.
