!Important! Custom InfoObject - Unit Of Measure

Hi Experts,
i have a quite complex requirement.
we have an infoobject that has Unit Of measure or in other words something like product group.
the problem is that when we do reporting. the key figures are cumulated per UOM "PC".
we want a to cummulate the keyfigures per "UOM" = custom infoobject. this infopackage has values like "System" "Pieces" and so on.
any Good ideas how to do this?
thank you.
regards,
Younes

OK i'll try.
so we have an infoobject called item, this has an attribute called unit
i.e.
item      unit             key fig. QUAN
12029   System         192
12313   TCM              288
12238   BUM              28
12257   BUM              123
how can i make a query to see for example a resutl with a unit
BUM.
the query is displaying every item each and the result for
12238 BUM 28
12257 BUM 123
i would like to see a result like this
      BUM 151
12238 BUM 28
12257 BUM 123
i hope i could give you an overview of the problem.
thanks
Younes

Customer dependent unit of measure

Folks,
We have items which have alternative UOM: PCE and PAK. We have set the sales UOM in material master on PAK's, which results in default PAK in the sales order. However, some customers always order in PCE and in that case, the default PAK should not be proposed but a PCE.
Any suggestions?
MZ

Hi
You can use Function Module - /DSD/SL_FSR_UNIT_CONVERSION or /sapxcqm/get_uom to convert from or to Alternate or Base unit of Measure.
Best Regards

Error R7 245 while importing custom infoobject

BW Gurus,
We are tring to transport infoobjects from DEV to Q environment. Transport fails with return code 12. It cancels job RDDEXECL with error R7245 "InfoObject ZHRLOCAT is not available in version A" and object ramins inactive in Q. Infoobject is active in DEV. My transport contains around 250 infoobjects. Though job log shows error for only one. There are lot in Q with status inactive.
I searched OSS note. No success.
P.N: We recently upgraded support pack for below mentioned component from 14 to 17.
SAP_ABA 640 0017 SAPKA64017
SAP_BASIS 640 0017 SAPKB64017
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Milind

hi Milind,
how did you collect the objects ?
250 objects in one go are too much i think,
if any dependencies, error will occured,
try to re transport will less infoobjects,
you can use infocube e.g to collect 'only necessary objects', one by one infocube.
take a look transport tips

Decimal places for unit of measure

Dear All ,
If i change the Decimal Places for rounding in Customizing for Unit of measure ( CUNI tcode) for KG as 6 from 3 whether it will calculate with the 6 decimal places like 0.004756 ( earlier with 3 decimal places it will calculate any multiplication with 0.004 now i want the same with 0.004756 Kg )
whether it will work ?
and where it will impact

Hi
No it will not work like that. And it depend on the transaction where you enter that. In case of Purchase order quntity field it will be always with 2 decimal places because field MENGE has 2 decimal places only. If your system is already live then it is not advisible to do such changes.

Units of measure in taxonomy

Hello -
I would like to know if it is possible to delete custom created units of measure.
If so, is there a particular process to follow?
Thanks

Hello,
In this case, you need to make sure those attribute values you want to delete are not used by any record in the main table.
You can do that using a search in record mode. You select the category, attribute and values that you would like to delete. If you have any record using that value, you need first to change the value, to something else. Once you don't have any record using the value you can proceed to delete it in Taxonomy mode at the Attribute Details section.
I hope this helps,
Alejandra

Import of Unit Of Measures XML into Sourcing fails

Hi All ,
I am checking imports of Master Data from ERP in Sourcing 7.0 for Integration Scenario with single records, but I am failing in import for Unit of Measures.XML file , It throws error saying "This field is required and must have a valid value. [DISPLAY_NAME]."
The Standard XML which was generated didn't had <DISPLAY_NAME>field , so I have included it to check and upload , but the error persists.
Note:This XML was generated with BBP_ES_CUSTOMIZINGDATA_EXTRACT report from ERP

Alternate units of measure

Hi,
In order to implement the Alternate units of measure -
I need to implement user exit and activate enhancement RSR0001. In the description below is listed what to implement of includes. In the function group XRSR - I have added the code to the includes ZXRSRTOP and ZXRSRU01. These are both a part of the group. But the last one ZXRSRF01 is not in the include folder. I tried to create an include by right click on the include folder and choose create - I named it ZXRSRF01 and copied the code into it. But it is still not to be found in the XRSR function group and when I check the program the get_form call raises and error in the code of the include ZXRSRU01. How to get the include in the function group or is there another solution?

How to Report on Alternate Unit of Measure

Hi All,
    We recently implemented SAP for our Canadian operations. The Canadians want to see all our custom and standard reports in Alternate units of measure ( KG's & Ltr's ) but our reports only display in Lbs & Gal's. We were able to change our custom reports but is there any setting that SAP provides for the standard reports/transactions to display Alt UoM. We don't want to rush in and start changing standard reports. I'm sure, lot of you faced this situation before.

AffineTransform - Is there a way to glean units of measurement for pixels?

Assuming I get a pointer to a java.awt.geom.AffineTransform from:
java.awt.geom.AffineTransform CurTransform = ((java.awt.Graphics2D)this.getMainFrame().getGraphics()).getDeviceConfiguration().getDefaultTransform();
Assuming I've gotten the right AffineTransform... How do I get, or can I get, the scaling factor between horizontal pixels and vertical pixels for the current screen (or whatever device). In other words I want to place components... buttons, textboxes, etc. in a dialog box so that they are "square". i.e. 10 units in x look on the screen equal to 10 units in y.
Once I know what the "square pixel scale factor" is I can then worry about making the units relative to whatever font size.
This question is usually posed as "How do I get dialog units?". I haven't done that because of the "legacy problems" associated with what most people think dialog units come from. It is true that way back when dialog units were derived from a textmetrics ONLY, but unless I'm mistaken, Charles Petzold, was describing something that could only be gotten that way at that time (circa 1990).... The width of the fixed system font by the height of the fixed system font ended up being as close to a unit that was 8 units high looked like 8 units wide in the screen. The object of the exercise is to most importantly get units of measurement that translate to pixels and look "square" on the screen. Secondarily, but not unimportant, is to be a unit that has some relevance to the current font size. It's been a long time dialog units in windows maybe a 2:1 ratio. I made my own cDialogUnits so long ago I can't remember what the "standard windows" dialog unit is. In windows I can very easily get the screen dpi x and y, I think it's a devicecontext but Java's "devicecontext" only gives one dimension of the dpi?
Also this query is mute if I was "painting" on a device. The units are for pixels NOT points and are (mostly) for placing controls on the screen. I am aware of and have used the various addPreferredGap and setAutoCreateContainerGaps available in a GroupLayout... Great gizmos but, still dialog units would be very handy for setting the prefered width of a textbox/label with too much text. (Note: dialog units are NOT for calculating the height of text... )
I did search the sun forums for an answer first... It might be here I just didn't find it. It seems to be a question either avoided like the plague or considered a dumb question in Java.

This might be OK?
BE AWARE!! This is NOT a painting gizmo. It is used in conjunction with the Layout gizmos. It drives me crazy that the Layout gizmos have "default" gaps and spacers of some kind and yet ALL the tutorials immediately and unabashedly trash any "device independence" by mixing in pixel measurements... Not to mention I don't like the size of the gaps and spacing provided with the Layout gizmos anyway.
Does anyone know if this will fail? I am aware of the caveats provided... "Information about the device is only as good as has been provided." However if there is bad information in the device info I doubt using these units will do anything much different that the end user experiences with the errant device anyway.
AGAIN... This is NOT a painting gizmo. It's a helper when Laying out controls usually in conjunction with a Layout and only for spaces and gaps.

Unit of measure in condition table

Hi,
I'm creating a new condition type and it should be maintained in MEK1/2/3.
The new condition type is copied from RUC1.
According to the business requirement, I have set REST as the access sequence to the new condition type.
Requirement;
1. The condition record should be determined by vendor
2. The validity period will not in use (i.e. 1900/01/01-9999/12/31)
3. The unit of measure of the material to be purchased can be either PCE or PR
Issue;
It seems I can create a condition record per one vendor per only one UoM.
I have create a condition record for PCE, and set a scale 1PR = 1PCE for that condition record.
However, when I've tried to create a PO, I've got a quantity conversion error.
Does any one know how I can configure the 2 UoM for one vendor?
Restriction;
The material master is shared with other companies.
Therefore, we cannot maintain material master for this local requirement.
It has to be managed only by configuration.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Mari

Test once by using your own custom condition table.
Create a condition table for the fieldCatlg Vendor, Material, Oder Unit etc (as per your requirement)
Then rest of all as per your settings. Then you can maintain the condition record as per order unit.
For more about create condition table refer to the blog Pricing procedure Steps and Details in SAP MM
