ISO code error

[Former Member]

Hi, I am using inbound edi FM idoc_input_orders. My problem is tht i get the value for a item from a customer as BOX. Whn i tried to process inbound FM with E1EDP01-MENEE = BOX, i am getting an error " ISO unit of measure BO is not assigned (item )". When I debug the program i saw tht it is checking T006 table where it raises error if it doesnt find T006-ISOCODE = BOX & T006-PRIMARY = X. I have problem here. I dont have any entry here with above condition.What shld i do ? Can anyone help me out

SAP uses ISO unit of measures to communicate with external systems.

Go to the transaction CUNI and go to Unit of measures. Find for BOX and go to its details. In the ISO Code field you will find the value as BX. Either ask your partner to send the UOM as BX or change the ISO code to BOX. If the ISO code is not available. You need to be creating it.

Indicates that for that UOM the ISO code is default.
