Adjusting the behavior of sales unit of measure on sales order

Hello Everyone,
I have a question regarding adjusting the behavior of sales unit of measure (UOM) on sales order (SO).
We maintain 3 UOM on material master u2013 A, B, C; where A is base UOM and C is sales UOM.
If we change the material on existing sales order in VA02, system also always changes the UOM on SO to C as well because C is sales UOM on material master. Sometimes SO quantities are in A or B UOM and we do not want system to change them to C when material is updated.
We know it is a standard SAP behavior and the question is if it can be adjusted somehow (in configuration or some other way), so system is not changing the UOM on existing SO to sales UOM when material is updated.
PS if we leave sales unit of measure field in material master blank, when material on SO is changed system is still changing the UOM, now to the base UOM A
Thank you!
Alex

ANSWER: According to SAP there is no way to change the behavior without taking the risk of breaking a lot of stuff.

Maintain Multiple Sale Unit of Measure

Dear all,
How can we maintain multiple sale unit of measure for a particular material in single sales area. Meaning different sales orders can have different unit of measure for the same material in the same sales area.
Regards and Thanks,

Check (MM02) Material Master - Additional Data button in menu bar - Unit of Measurement Tab
OR
Scenario: - BP buys ItemA in Kg and sells in Gr. (Refer SAP Note 883504 - Different UoM for the same Item)
1. Define ItemA with kg as the unit of measure in the Purchasing Data tab - and Gr as the sales unit of measure in Sales Data tab. Enter items per purchase unit as 1000 and the items per sales unit as 1.
2. Generate an AP invoice with a quantity of 1, the items per purchase unit is 1000 so 1000 items enter the stock.
3. Generate an AR invoice with a quantity of 1, the items per purchase unit is 1 so the stock of the item is reduced by a quantity of 1 gram.
There is no way to indicate that the stock has been reduced by 1000kg which is equal to 1 gram.
Workaround:
1. Duplicate ItemA as Purchase Item (UoM=Kg) and Sales Item (UoM=Gr) - This means that you will have 2 items, ItemA1 and ItemA2
OR
2. Generate ItemA (both Sales and Purchase Item) by configuring UoM and Price according to the smallest UoM and perform every transaction by keeping this UoM
NB: Do not forget to define UoM in Administration - System Initialization - General Settings - Display tab - Default Weight Unit

Price by multiple unit of measure

Sales Unit of Measure?

Hi,
as far as I can tell, Netpoint synchs not the Sales Unit of Measure (oitm.SalUnitMsr) but the quantity Per Packaging Unit (oitm.SalPackUn) when you do an Item sync, this figure then appears as the item's "# Per Package" in Netpoint.
Is this correct?
If so, is there any way to force Netpoint to sync the Sales Unit of Measure (I can do my own method via synch plugin but it would be nice if there was some way without that)
Thanks!

Hi Corbin,
I figured as much.
What I am doing instead is running an SP on my SAP Server by way of a sync plugin that updates a table on the Netpoint server, and then looking up the UOM for the Partno when the PartDetails.aspx page is loaded.
Roundabout, but works.
Still it would definently be nice to be able to choose from a dropdown in the next version, which field from SAP you wanted to map to any field in Netpoint - that way it would be very flexible.

Base Unit of Measure to Sales Unit Conversion

Hi,
Currently we are selling material in MT and all other transactions in MM and Production are in MT only.
Now client wants material to be sold in Meters, also in some cases the same material will be sold in MT also.
(As per my knowledge generally if the conversion is one to one i.e. base unit of measure is pieces and Sales unit of measure will be boxes and
1 box = 10 pieces can be maintained in material master.)
Here for conversion between Metric tonne to Meters there is formula involved so how and where this conversion needs to maintained in system.
How to map this type of scenario.
What all activities needs to be done from SD side and which other modules need to be involved this process.
Note: SAP is installed for more than 3 years now.
Hope i clear enough.
Regards,

Hi following is the formula.
OD = Outer diameter, thickness, length, Number of tubes are maintained in sales order charateristics during sales order creation.
OD
Thickness
Weight in Kgs / M
length of tube
Nos of tubes
Total length in Mtrs
Rate / MT
Rate / Mtr
A
X = (A-B)*B*0.02456
'L
N
T= L xN/1000
R
M=R/1000*X

How can i change unit of measurement in sales order on header

Dear all,
I have material master with base unit of measurement " Ea ".
I have to take unit Pc in sales order.
how can i change unit on header in sales order.
i changed unit on line item in sales order by setting in sales unit field in material master.

Hi,
You can very well do it, please do the following steps,
Go to material master and select the Sales Org.1 and 2, here maintain the sales unit PC and
it will ask you for the conversion, so maintain your conversion for PC to EA. Then maintain
the Division, delivery plant, material pricing group and account assignment group(if not maintained) and save it
Now create the sales order for that resp. material, you will find that system will pick up
the sales unit which is maintained in the material master's sales orgnization tab.
For this you need not to change at the header level of sales order
Please check and revert.
Thanks,
Hrishi

Sale unit of measure is not copied into Delivery from MF60 staging

Hello all,
we are using MF60 for EWM staging. Component has base unit of measure as M2. For production purposes, issue unit of measure was set to KG.
I managed to get KG in MF60 during staging, but Outbound delivery created contains however unit M2. This is unit of issue from sales org1 tab. I changed this to KG, but still M2 is coming.
Please let me know if you know what is the problem.
Thanks in advnace!
Regards, Andrey.

Hi Andrew,
I think this issue is nothing to do with EWM. You can check with your SD consultant why sales UoM not getting copied into delivery. May be because of some delivery type or delivery item type settings.
I had same issue for over delivery tolerance, which I raised with SAP and they advised to use the customized BAdi to get it done.
Thanks,

Decimal places in unit of measure in Sales order

Hi,
In the Sales Order application in PCUI, when I create a create an order for customer XYZ, and add product ABC for qty 1 which uses unit of measure PC, the qty is displayed with 3 decimals as 1,000 whereas if I use the unit of measure EA the quantity is displayed without the 3 decimals as 1. I need the unit of measure PC to not have the decimal places like in SAPGUI.
Could anyone help me understand how this can be achieved?
Thank you for help in advance.
Regards,
Priya

To elaborate better.
Again, use Tcode CUNI - Unit of measurement : Initial Screen.
At initial screen, choose TIME from the list (where by default AAAADL- no dimensions is there).
And click on UNIT OF MEASUREMENT button.
In that you will find MON - Month.
There go for details by selecting MON or select MON and press F5 from Key board.
For MON unit maintain following parameter as per your requirement:
-Number of decimal places for number display
Use - This parameter determines the number of decimal places with which this measurement unit is displayed.
-Base ten exponent for floating-point display
Use - This exponent determines how the values for this measurement unit are formatted as floating point numbers.
Examples - If the exponent is 3, the floating point numbers have the format xxx.xxxxE3.
And deselect commercial meas. unit in application parameters section.
I would suggest instead of changing standard settings of MON, you create ZMON in TIME dimension.
Thanks & Regards

Unit of measure in Sales Order

Hi All,
We have maintained base unit of measure as EA. the sales unit is not mentioned and hence system will take EA as sales unit also. We have maintained alternate unit of measure as BOX and a conversion factor for the same wrt EA.
When user enters sales order as 1 BOX we want tha system should convert the same into appropriate qty of EA. Right now the Unit is captured as 1 BOX if enterd as BOX. How to map the conversion of this BOX into EA immediately so that always the order is saved in unit EA.
Regards,
Prashant

Hi,
For this you should use the sales unit and it's conversion of each sales unit = how many no of base units and save this data at master level(MMR sales area data1).
once this mapping will done system will take default measurements of sales units and user can change this to the needed alternate units in the filed of "SU" after order quantity in sales order.

Batch specific unit of measure in process order

Hello,
I have a BOM with a component with active ingredient.
Batches are classified and transaction MMBE shown stock correctly in both units.
But when creating the process order I get two items with same item numer in the material list.
One for batch specifiv unit of measure which is fine.
I also get another line in the base unit of measure.
In table RESB both records have movement allowed so they show up in MIGO.
This increases the total requirements for the component.
What is happening??
Best regards,
TOr

Thanks for caring!
As for transaction MMBE it all looks fine. So basic definitions must be OK up to that point.
I think the point is to set requirement for the amount of active ingredient.
Do the batch determination for this.
Do the goods issue in physcial quantity which is the base unit of measure.
I did try now with KG in the BOM. I still get double items in the process order. Now both in KG.
One line is correclty copied.
The incorrect line which is the same in both cases says 1 KG. which is the correct conversion from 0,01KAI.

ALternate Unit of Measure as a Order unit in PO

Hi everyone,
I have a problem while ordering the Quantity in PO with alternate unit which is maintained in MMR. The problem is
in MMR, I have maintained EA as the UOM and PAC as the Alternate unit of measure.
while in PO, i am trying to give the 'Order Unit (OUn) as the PAC which is the alternate unit maintained. But it is not accepting and
again reverting back to EA. i couldnt find out the solution. But some POs for that material is already ordered as PAC unit.
Could it be problem with the MMR ?
Regards
Siva

HI,
Go to Inforecord of that material with that vender on that plant.
Change Inforecord(me12)...here in general data...change the order unit.
system will give the conversion factor as u defined in material master.
Hope Help U !

Unit of measure problem between Order UOM, Base UOM and Inspetion UOM

Material: ROH-001
Base UOM: Meter
Order UOM: Kilogram
Inspection UOM: Roll
I have already maintained conversion factor in material master between meter and kilogram.
Is there any way to maintain KG in inspection plan header level and Roll in inspeciton plan operation level?
I tested, but the sample quantity is not as expected. Below is my testing data, please advise, thanks.
10 KG = 1,989 M
100 KG = 1 Roll

Sample size = 200 Roll (My expected sample size is 50 Roll)
Sampling plan:
   Lot size                  Sample size           c1                 d1

Unit of measure in External requirement

Hi experts
When the requisitions are created in R/3 the unit of measure of the product is Base Unit of Measure and not Order unit, so the requisitions are transfered to SRM with the Base Unit of Measure but the material has in Purchassing an unit diferent unit of measure but the system not takes it in account, how can ensure the POs are created in SRM with the unit of measure of the material master Purchasing vision?
Thanks
Nilson

Hi. I am not sure if there is a better way, but units of measure are stored in SRM in table COMM_PR_UNIT.
You could use the BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI method BBP_PO_CHANGE to read the alterante unit and carry out the conversion.

Dave.
