BOM Component quantity decimal places

Hi... All..
how & where to maintain settings for decimal places for component quantity in a BOM..??
eg., Base unit of measure is KG n base quantity is 1KG
component quantity is o.5KG... at present system is not accepting decimal places....
waiting for reply,
with rgrds

Hi,
enter the no of decimal places in CUNI .
then , in CS02 - enter the qty as 0,05 and not as 0.05 (use comma instead of fullstop and it will not throw any error) pls check.
you can change this using this path also
in the SAP user menu System->User profile-> Own data in the Default value tab page you can find the decimal notation
The same topic was discussed earlier in this forum.

What-if Analysis on Bom Component Quantity

Hi ,
Is it possible to do What-if analysis on Bom Component Quantity ? As Users wanted to do what if analysis for Gross Die per Wafer. We tried creating one measure for GDPW and use the if condition in BOM Custom Roll up for eg. if (isNull("GDPW"),Component_Qty,"GDPW") but it is not working for What-if Analysis. Do i need to change something in On-Change formulae in BOM Custom Roll up.
Thanks
Lokesh

Hi ,
We are able to load the GDPW for Die level (only one stage )and we have a condition to validate if the measure is null it will take the component_Quantity or else it will take the 1/GDPW measure value. we are doing it for 3 purposes :
1. To get the Accurate value of GDPW which is equal to 1/Component_Quantity (GDPW will be accurate only if we get 30 decimal places value in calculation)
2. As part of information provided to Users as they wanted to see it.
3. To do What-if Analysis (if Possible).
We could have use 'todouble' for the accuracy but we were thinking of what if analysis, and user visibility also.So far calculation is coming nicely but it would be appreciated if you can give pointers for the risk involved in keeping GDPW as measure.
Thanks
Lokesh

How to increase Decimal Points for the BOM Component Quantity

Hi All,
While creating BOM:
Can anyone help me to know how i can increase the Decimal points for the BOM components quantity.
I can able to give only upto 3 decimal points, but the requirement is more than that.
I have increased the Decimal point value to 5 in transaction Code CUNI. but still it is allowing me to enter only upto three decimal places.
Thanks and Regards
Khadeer

Khadeer,
You would be better off changing the base quantity of the parent part. Instead of "1 EA parent contains .00003MG of component" you could say "100 EA parents contain .003MG of component".
Alternately, you could use different units of measure for your parent or component parts, which would be more suitable for the 3 place decimal limitation.
I agree with Anil in that if you elect to change the decimals from standard, you could end up with huge changes that will propagate through every module in the ERP. In my view, there is no need of this kind of headache.

Error at Quantity Decimal Places Updation

Hello Guyz
The scenario is when i am trying to update the decimal place of Quantity then at the time of update its showing the error i.e client is already Connected to Company and I have checked that no client is connected with the Company.
Thanks
Ankit

Hi,
Please check whether there is any instance or SQL process which is in sleeping mode. Even sleeping process can block the transaction of updating the decimal settings.
Also, please be aware that once the decimals are increased, it is irreversible. You cannot decrease the decimal places afterwards.

Change in BOM Component quantity

Hi SAP Experts
Currently I am working on an implementation project on Chemical manufacturing firm, where there is a requirement in Bill of materials.
In BOM, they are having components in which the quantity is getting varied. Example: For making a particular header material there may be quantity changes in the component because the raw material quantity received from the vendors varies.
So if we get a raw material with lower grade quantity, then to produce the header material - component quantity would be different. So quantity of the component quantity changes with the quality provided by vendor.
Please suggest me the best possible solutions in SAP.

There is Std SAP functionality to deal with this called MQC given in Recipe. You need to discover this thoroughly & need to try in your sand box. I will suggest you to first understand how it works & then if you faces any issues ask for advice.
Go through the below thread.

BOM Component quantity vs Backflush Component quantity

dear sirs,
shall the 2 kinds of quantities be the same? when running backflush, component list exploded differs from that of BOM.
what is in contact with them in between?
thanks a lot!
Mandy

dear Venugopal,
my question is, provided all master data maintained in place, when running some planned order to backflush, the quantity of component list doesnt match that by diploid in BOM.
Say, material 1 stands 1kg in BOM (on condition of base qty 100kg of Assembly), when backflushing a planned order - 200kg, excluded scrap factor in BOM, the qty of material 1 in component list of backflush table doesnt equals 2kg.
thanks so much for your prompt support!
Mandy

BOM component Quantity

Hi All Gurus,
How can i get bom quantity at the time of confirmation in CO11N?

Dear Hardik,
If the components are set for backflush,then as per the component assignment to routing operation,while confirming that
operation in CO11N,you can click on good's movement key and check the component's quantity getting reflected for the order
quantity as per the BOM relationship.

Material Quantity Decimal Places

Dear Gurus,
Curreantly I am using MCF unit of measure and supplies are recorded in 3 decimal, but in one scenario supplies are maintain in four decimal, but system cant allow me to do that.
Can any one advise me that how should I can achieve the objective.

Hi,
If in future you want to control the decimal points, you can go to tcode: CUNI and find your UOM to set your prefer decimal points.
Thanks.

BOM changes inputting the BOM component -reg

Hi Friends,
we would like to know the BOM quantity changes happened for a particular BOm component .
Using CS80 we have to input BOM header to know BOm changes , but our requirement is for a BOM component what changes are made and when they are made .
Our BOM component say a paint part number is used in many BOM headers
it is not possible to see CS80 by inputting one by one BOm header and check whether the BOM component quantity changes are there .
instead we would like to input BOM component and know when and what changes are made to its quantity (menge) in what BOM header by which use
please help
regards,
madhu Kiran

Dear Madhu Kiran,
This is possible only if you are using ECM - Engineering Change number and you can obtain the details
from the tables STAS,STKO,MAST &STPO.
Without ECM I dont think its traceable.
Check & revert back.

More than 3 decimal in Bill of Material component quantity

I want to know whether we can use more than 3 decimals in quantities in Bill of Material. I heard that it was an issue in SAP but is that issue still exist in ECC 6.0.
Regards

Dear,
During maintaing the unit of measure in T-code CUNI we can define No. of decimal places to which rounding should be performed which specifies the number of decimal places to which this measurement unit should be rounded.
System will not allow more than 3 decimal places in satandard SAP.
You can use a larger base quantity of 100 or 1000 in the BOM header (instead of 1).
That would eliviate your issue with the 3 decimal places in the component quantity.
SAP always takes the base quantity into account during requirements calculation.
Hope clear to you.

Change of the quantity field to 5 decimal places in SAP

Hi Gurus,
The quantity field is appearing with 3 decimal places in BOM, Process Order, etc. Is it possible to make the decimal places to 5.
All the decimal digits from SAP are 3 digits. We have an interface through which the data flows from another legacy system (Fow system) to SAP. And the Fow system setting was 5 digits. The issue is some of the raw material requirement qty was really minor and it might be below the decimal 3 digits.
In that case, when the data flows to SAP from Fow system it will cause the material stage failure. so please help me to investigate how to let the SAP also could have the 5 digits decimal. Thanks.

Brijesh

Dear ,
Its SAP standard ,to put and use decimal places in BOM qty .You can use upto 3 decimal places in BOM qty.
At SE11 you need to see what measure field is linked to the quantity field.Then goto tranaction CUNI and chage the decimal places of the unit of measure for the qty field unit , it will not allow you more than 3 decimal places in case of BOM qty.
You have following choice :
1. With the access key make changes in the standard program and take help from ABAPer
SAPLCSDI, Table Name-RC29P, Field Name- MENGE.
2) Change the base quantity in BOM header to 1000 aand accordingly change the component quantity.
Hope this is clear

How to maintain decimal places in BOM Qty & what is the essence of base qty

Hello PP members
How to maintain decimal places in BOM Qty & what is the essence of base quantity in BOM ?
Thank You

ur first question is not understood, You can have maximum of 3 decimals in BOM item qty.
Base qty is the qty which is refered to all the BOM items.
example -
Product X, base qty 1
Raw material 1 - componen t qty= 1
Raw material 2 - Component qty= 5
This means To produce Product with qty1, it needs raw material 1 qty 1 and raw material 2 qty 5.
This means To produce Product with qty10, it needs raw material 1 qty 10 and raw material 2 qty 50.
This is the meaning of Base qty..it is the referece qty refered to all the components.
About the decimal places
let us say example 2
To produce Product with qty1, it needs raw material 1 qty 1 and raw material 2 qty .0001.
When you enter this in SAP for the raw materialm 2 system will give error message that you need to enter the qty with maximum 3 decimal places, hence you need to enter as below
Product with qty10, it needs raw material 1 qty 10 and raw material 2 qty .001.
This is how you need to adjsut the base qty and component qty with decimalplaces moer than 3,

Decimal place support in BOM for R11i

Hi, does anyone can enable higher precision upto 9 decimal place in BOM, existing only 6 decimal place support in component quantity but ct would need more. Does R11i (11.5.4) support more than 6 decimal place in BOM? if it can, how to setup.
Thanks in advance.

HI Indraneel,
Both are important. When you upload any data and create PO,So this will be important .Similarly oy04 also.It is not allowed to change this manually.This is maintained as per the country currency.

Dear Ahmad,
Go to transaction CUNI, Click on unit of measurement, select ur unit of measure(ex: M/L/KG etc) for which u want to maintain 6 decimals, In decimal places field maintain 6. come back and create BOM.
test and come back

Qty with more than 3 decimal places in BOM

HI ALL,
CAN I PUT QTY IN BOM WITH MORE THAN 3 DECIMAL PLACES ITS VERY URGENT REQUIREMENT.
THANKS
R SEHGAL

Dear Rakesh
I am not sure, but you can try this
1. Define one more UOM for example 4dec then in MM02 give the conversion of 4dec to your 3 decimal, give conversion in it. for eg 10*3dec = 4 dec
2. Now when you define bom enter quantity in 3dec(i,e, multiplying by 10) and then convert the uom in BOM to 4dec
You can try and let us know your feedback

Jitesh
