2157504 - Error "The UOM Already Exists, Enter a New Code Value"

Symptom

You are setting Units of Measure in the System, the error appears.

  1. The UOM already exists, enter a new code Value.

 

Environment

SAP Cloud For Customer

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to Business Configuration work center.
  2. Click on Implementation Projects.
  3. Open Activity list.
  4. Go to Fine Tune Tab.
  5. Open Activity Quantities and Units of Measure.
  6. Enter Unit of Measure

Cause

The message will appears if you are creating more than one at a time or creating the Unit with the same code.

Resolution

To avoid this error message, please Add a row with the code that starts with Z, not copying from the above one. After completing the Unit, press save and then go to the second line.

The idea is always to add a row and then press enter after complete the same, so the system will trigger if the code is already existing or not, after that you can proceed to the next one.
