Message text: You cannot copy net weights from alternative units of measurement
There is an inconsistency because various net weights have one or more
alternative units of measurement; whereas, a net weight can only be
compared for a database with base units and not alternative units of
measurements.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
Perform one of the following actions, as required:
Check all denominators and counters for conversion to the base units of
measurement and make the required changes.
Enter a different Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) variant combination,
as appropriate.

The SAP error message EAN_UCC011, which states "You cannot copy net weights from alternative units of measurement," typically occurs when there is an issue with the handling of units of measurement (UoM) in the system, particularly when trying to copy or convert net weights between different units.
Cause:
Unit of Measurement Configuration: The error often arises when the system is unable to convert or copy net weights from an alternative unit of measurement to the base unit of measurement. This can happen if the conversion factors between the units are not properly defined in the system.
Missing or Incorrect Data: If the material master data does not have the necessary information regarding the alternative units of measurement or if the net weight is not defined for the alternative unit, this error can occur.
Inconsistent Data: If there are inconsistencies in the data related to the material, such as missing weights for certain units or incorrect settings in the material master, it can lead to this error.
Solution:
Check Material Master Data: Go to the material master (transaction code MM03) and check the units of measurement section. Ensure that the net weight is defined for both the base unit and any alternative units of measurement.
Define Conversion Factors: Ensure that the conversion factors between the base unit and alternative units of measurement are correctly defined. This can be done in the material master under the "Units of Measure" view.
Review UoM Settings: Check the settings in the configuration for units of measurement (transaction code OME1) to ensure that the alternative units are set up correctly and that the system can perform the necessary conversions.
Data Consistency Check: Run a consistency check on the material data to identify any discrepancies or missing information that could be causing the error.
Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for further troubleshooting steps.

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.
