The SAP error message
/CWM/MM106 Unit of measure & is not convertible to UoM & for Material &3
typically indicates that there is an issue with the unit of measure (UoM) conversion for a specific material in the system. This error can occur in various scenarios, such as during goods movements, inventory management, or when processing transactions involving materials.Cause:
- Incompatible Units of Measure: The specified unit of measure for the material is not compatible with the target unit of measure. For example, trying to convert between units that are not defined as convertible in the system.
- Missing Conversion Factors: There may be no conversion factors defined between the two units of measure in the material master data.
- Incorrect Material Master Data: The material master may not be set up correctly, leading to issues with UoM conversions.
- Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the SAP system regarding UoM settings.
Solution:
Check Material Master Data:
- Go to the material master record (transaction code
MM03
) and check the units of measure defined for the material.- Ensure that the base unit of measure and alternative units of measure are correctly defined.
Define Conversion Factors:

- Ensure that the conversion factors between the units of measure are correctly set up.
Review UoM Configuration:
- Check the configuration settings for units of measure in the SAP system (transaction code
SPRO
).- Navigate to the relevant configuration path to ensure that the units of measure are set up correctly and that conversion is allowed.
Use Compatible Units:
- When processing transactions, ensure that you are using compatible units of measure that can be converted based on the defined conversion factors.
Consult Documentation:

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.
