      • Ensure that the stock-keeping unit and the parallel unit of measure are correctly defined and consistent.

      • Ensure that the conversion factors between the units of measure are correctly defined.
    3. Review Configuration Settings:

      • Check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to units of measure. This can be done in the SPRO transaction under the Material Management section.

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.
