Issue: Proportion/produciton unit of measure NO is invalid for item 900001.

Hi All,

Issue: Proportion/produciton unit of measure NO is invalid for item 900001.

Here we have MTO Scenario: In outbound delivery when we do batch split & batch determination we are getting the above error.

Consider the following settings: at MM01 - Prodution/Proportion unit data is maintained with a characterstic specific to batch. Means Batch specific unit of measurement. In Work scheduling view produciton unit, unit of issue are maintained as 'NO'. All these settings are same for all material codes.

Please suggest us why we are getting the issue for perticular material coce.

Info: We resolve the issue by adding one more line item in the sales order & do the transfer posting the stock from line item to line item. But this is not the permanent solution.

I believe the error message no is VL 382 (Proportion/product unit of measure & invalid for item &)

You need to double click on the error message flashing on the status bar to get the error number.

I believe long text for the error message is self explainatary. Refer it and make necessary changes to resolve the issue.

Diagnosis
You want to use a proportion / product unit for an item.
You are not allowed to change the unit of measure into a proportion / product unit if:
- The following exist for a sales document item:
Preceding documents
Subsequent documents
- You are processing a scheduling agreement for the component supply industry
- You change the target unit of measure in a scheduling agreement item (and the sales unit is not a proportion / product unit)
- You are processing a customer requirements plan
- The following exist for a delivery item:
Preceding documents
Subsequent documents
Batch split items
- You are processing a batch split item
Procedure
Use a different unit of measure.
If you want to change the target unit of measure into a proportion / product unit in a scheduling agreement item, you need to change the sales unit accordingly. The system then sets the target unit of measure to the same as the sales unit.

Further, if you are working on older version, refer SAP Note 364206 - VLSP:indic.for proportion/product quantities deletd.
