Question:
hello all,
I have maintained material master for VERP and HIBE for which
i am using standard SAP defined UOM - Meter (M).
When i raising the PO, while saving i get an error "No conversion found for EA to M". I have re-checked all the master Data in Matl. Master
P-info which is Meter. I am not using Variable UOM for any of the materials.
can anyone tell me whats the reason behind this error.
I am not able release PO due to this error..
many thanks in advance,
ssk
Answer:
Hi SSK:
Do you have any alternate Units of Measurement maintained?
This sounds like a situation where the Base Unit is EA, but the
PO Unit is M. I recently had a similar situation, and I believe
that you can handle this by maintaining a conversion in the
Purchase Info Record. I would need access to an SAP system
to give you precise details, which I do not have at the moment.

hello sackman, ha Tran
Please help me out.. am still not able to overcome
the error. I have set delection flag for inforecord, still
its giving the same error.

material type)
Any one any new ideas... please

Answer:
Hi SSK:
I haven't forgotten you, however I won't have access to an SAP system for another 12 hours. I can only guess that you are in the far east, and you would really like to solve this one.
I'll look at it in the morning. By then, either Ha Tran will already have responded, or maybe Svetja who also works in Europe like me, will have looked at this.
It is not an uncommon problem, and I'm sure that this is of interest to many members in this forum.
Until tomorrow.

Answer:
Hi SSK,
What was the Error Message Number?
Cheers,
HT
Answer:
If I understand correctly, then you get the error No conversion found for EA to M while saving the PO.
You say your material master has base unit of measure M.
Can you confirm that your order unit in purchasing view is empty?
You say your info record is maintained for M, do you mean purchase order unit in general view of info record or the price unit or both?
I guess yes, if one of those would is maintaied in EA, then the info record would have the conversion, hence you would not get such error message.
If everything so far is actually M, then in the purchase order itself must be somewhere the EA. Probably the order unit. Which then has no conversion rate to the M from the inforecord. Can you check there.
If you use requisitions, then check the unit there too.
If you use user defaults for ME21N, then check if you have set the unit EA as a default there.
And please tell us the error number.
Answer:
Hi SSK, Ha Tran, & Svetja:
I am guessing that SSK receives error message 06 265, which has the following text: "No conversion possible between unit of measure & and order unit &". If this is correct, then according to SSK's original post, he is having a problem between the conversion of unit of measure EA to order unit M.
I guess, that the Base Unit of the Material Master is EA, and the Order Unit is M.
I tested this with PC to M, where no alternate Unit of Measure was maintained for M, and it applied a "default" conversion of 1-to-1.
The following then occurred to me, that "EA" is not a standard SAP Unit of measure, and that there might very well be a problem with the original definition of "EA" in the "Units of Measure" (CUNI) Customizing area.
If I looked at ST (or PC), which "EA" might normally be copied from, I noticed that the standard entries for Conversion are Numerator '1' and Denominator '1'. Which is how the system could default a standard conversion, in my test, even though one was not maintained anywhere in the master data.
I would recommend to start my looking here first, and then report back to us, if this does not begin to help resolve the problem.
I hope that this helps.

Answer:
Hi sackman,
I agree with you that "EA" is not a stansdard SAP unit of mesure. Your reasoning appears to be logically very convincing.

Answer:
Hi Kumar:
Thanks for your vote of confidence. Lets see if SSK also likes my "convincing logic."
Unfortunately, I'll probably have to wait another 15 hours to find out, since SSK seems to be based in the Far East, and I'm about to call it quits for the day.
Maybe by tomorrow, this mystery will be solved.

Answer:
All I found for the error message number in OSS indicates me that this is country specific developement. If you dont get help from anybody using CIN version, you probably have to contact SAP.
Answer:
Hi SSK:
Message Class 8I appears to be specific to CIN, and since most of us do not have Country Version India applied to our system, there is not much more that we can do for you.
I did notice that the following OSS Notes (0575518, 0591241 & 0579734)
are all very recent, and it probably makes sense to apply them to your system first, to see if they resolve your problem.
Another tip that might help you if you really want to analyze the problem further is to go to SE91, and locate the message ID yourself and select it. From here, you can use the "where-to" function, and see which "Includes/Programs" are using this message.
If you can set a breakpoint at these points and "catch" the problem in the debugger, right before the error message is detected, then you may be able to find out where the problem is, and also why.
This may seem like a lot of work for a little benefit, but this might enable you to verify if this is really an application problem (SAP bug), or a problem with your document or master data or customizing.
If you find out it is a data problem, then you have solved the problem. If you find out that it is an SAP bug, then you can give them more precise information where the problem is, which can help get it resolved quicker.
If you have never used the debugger before, then you probably want to work with a Developer.
I hope that this helps.
