Cause

Quantity conversion i.e. From and To quantity conversions were reversed due to which quantities were not interrelated.

Resolution

This error message is a valid one. Please refer to the Quantity conversion node of material where we maintain conversions. Over here it is important that if you know the quantity in any UoM, it should be possible to convert to another UoM. Let's understand this with an example

1 Pallet = 10 cases
1 box = 10 bottles

This is not a valid conversion as you cannot convert from Pallet to Bottles. The correct conversion would be

1 Pallet = 10 cases
1 case = 10 boxes
1 box = 10 bottles

Here all the UoMs are interconvertible.

Please verify the below details to fix this issue from your end:

  1. Verify the Base UoM.
  2. Please check the material for which the error is being thrown and identify the missing link in quantity conversion. 
  3. Create the missing link between the used quantity conversions.

Once you fix this you can perform the migration activity again and it should go through without any issues.
