Material to Material ( diff. Unit of Measure )

Dear Gurus,
I have a material that undergoes a repacking and come out in diffrent unit of measures, i have to do a transfer of the existing material to the new materia which will have a new unit of measure.
In transferposting it is possible only if both the material have the same stockkeeping unit.
Please advice how to go about it.
Best Regards,
Sat

Hi,
There is another thread asking the same question.
Unfortunately the answer is the same.
You cannot use a 309 movement if the base UOM is different.
You can use two other movement to replicate this (write off one material and write ON the other) the financial postings should balance out correctly but you need to decide which movement types you want to use (different GLs will be updated depending on if you want to write them off and on, or consume one material and "reverse consume" the other with a 201 and 202 scenario)

Automatically pick material master unit of measure conversion to routing

I maintain finish goods conversion factor in material master u201CAdditional Data: Unit of measureu201D as M to KG and basic unit of measure for finish good in material master is in KG.
I attached multiple operations for the finish goods material in routing.
Some operations base unit of measure is M and others its KG.
I want to pick material master unit of measure conversion automatically when Iu2019m creating routing for the finish good material in ca01. (Unit of measure conversion for header and operation of the operation)
Can anyone letme know the SAP configuration for this.

Hi!,
Please expalin about the purpose of this requirement, because when you will create a order using that routing, at that time system will definately do the unit conversion automatically.

Material Ledger Unit Of Measurement different from Material Master

Dear Team,
In my client, there is a difference between unit visible in CKM3N and MM03. The base unit of measurement in MM03 is MT. Other than that, there are some other units maintained (not M3) in additional data tab in material master. In CKM3N, the visible unit is M3. M3 is not present anywhere in MM03.
Why would such unit flow in material ledger table? (CKMLPP has unit M3). Please advise.
One more observation is that when there is some price change document in Material Ledger, the proper UoM (MT) is being captured. Only in the basic price determination structure visible unit for each head is M3. Please check the attached screen shot.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Material Master Unit Of Measurement Changes Clarification

Hi
We have a material master with base unit of measurement as FT in basic data 1 view.
For this we have already some purchsing documents like PO's and PR's
But currently we dont have any open PO (or) PR and stock in system.
Still we could not change the base unit of measurement from FT to M..
Why?
Vijay

Hello All,
The error shows some of PR's and PO's numbers.
when i check the material in table MBEWH i can see some of the stocks for previous period like year 2009 and the period 06 and some of the previous year like 2008 and 2007 also having some stocks.

Material's Unit of Measurment differentin Con & Rec due to Prd Process ?

Hi
We got some byproduct due to the production. So we are planned we will take qty in m2 & stock maintain in kg, because this is child material of another one product, so that time we consumption book in kg wise only u2026.
Finally we want:
      Received: M2
      Stock Maintain & Consumed: kg
If u have any solution, kindly explain step by stepu2026
I hope defiantly u resolved my problemu2026..
Regards
Porsee

Dear Porselvan ,
                 You can resolved it by using alternate unit of measurement.
Now there is two way:-
1. Take KG as Base Unit Of Measurement then Go to work scheduling View & take unit of issue as M2 as well as you put it asks conversion with KG (How much m2 in one KG) and it will make all movement posting By M2 but stock will be keep in KG which will be your Base unit of measurement. For consuming in kG u can put Unit KG in BOM of respective article.
2. Take KG as Base Unit Of Measurement then Go to work scheduling View & take Production unit as M2 as soon as you put it asks conversion with KG (How much m2 in one KG) and due to it Production will happen in M2 remaining all things happen in KG.
           For both these condition you can make movement any of unit which both you given by manual changing but automatically it propose unit as i explained.

Component material costing (Unit of Measure conversion) is not working at S

Hi,
Unit of Measure conversion factor (Value) is not working for component materials at Sales order level costing, but the same conversion factor is working fine at Standard cost estimation level.
Example:
Conversion Factor for Raw materials (Procurement in Tones, Consumption in Each)
1 Ton (Rs.1000) = 10 Each (per Each u2013 Rs.100)
For Manufacturing of 1 pc FG is required 1 each Raw material
Issue: At sales Order level - Raw material costing is calculated at u201CTonu201D price u2013 Rs.1000 instead of u201CEachu201D price u2013 Rs.100.
Regards
Nagesh

Hi,
Pricing (unit conversion) is done different for MM and SD process.
MM has decided to use the old process which determines the values out of T006. There you have the conversion factors which are used in PO. If you create a sales order or billing document the determination will be different as the material master will be read.

Getting an error in CIF Inbound queue:"Only 0 decimal places are permitted for unit of measure PC"

Hi,
I am getting an error in CIF Inbound queue (function: CIF_ORDER_INBOUND_30A). The error text says "Only 0 decimal places are permitted for unit of measure PC".
Can anyone point out the solution to resolve this error? It would be a big help for me as I am new to APO and so getting difficult to find a clue for it.
Thanks.
Regards
Mansi

Hi Mansi,
Please check the cif queue you will get the order number from that order number you can find out material code. Then check the material master unit of measure in MM03 you have used some alternative unit of measure and system is unable to convert order to alternative unit of measure because of decimal setting. If you go to CUNI and check the unit if measure PC it is not permitted for decimal places. If you need decimal than change the UoMof Material and use diff UoM or allow the decimal for PC which is not good practice.

MB5B - Stock on posting date show in other Unit of measure

Dearl All,
Pls support me this case: I would like to see this report (MB5B - Stock on posting date) in other Unit of measure.
This report shows stock in Basic Unit only.
E.g
Material A, base unit = M, other unit = ROL
Report needs show stock in ROL.
How can I do that?
Thank you vry much!
Cao Huy.

Hi,
In your case, order unit as ROL and material basic unit of measure is M.
PO created only for the order unit ROL, and goods have received from the vendor based on the PO order unit.
So,this MB5B stock on posting date is displayed only the total stock received based on the received GR order unit qty .
stock also managed only ROL unit of measues. it is not possible to list based on the M stock unit.

Hi Itzell T,
      While creating the material the unit of measurement which is entered is not existing in the SAP System. The unit of measurement entered during creation of material is cross checked from enteries of check table T006.
      So, functional consultant should take care of this issue just let him know the message.
   He know what problem actually is and fix the problem as Ankur had said.

Third party purchase unit of measure issue.

Hi Friend,
I have created sales order for third party process unit of measure in sales order is in Meter qty is 3.7 mater.
But PR & PO id created in the unit of measure Piece i.e. 3.7 pieces.
GR is already done for qty 3 pieces. Now when user is trying to do GR for qty 0.7 pieces we are getting error message serial number management allows only whole number.
How can I do GR for this. Also I want to know what setting I need to do to have PO in unit of measure M i.e. Mater.
Thanks,
Kiran

Its all about your material master unit of measure.
In Material master - Basic data 1 view - Base Unit of measure will be picked in PR.
In Material master - Purchasing - order Unit will be picked in PO (If blank, then base unit of measure)
In Material master - Sales Organization 1 - Sales unit will be picked in Sales Order.
And for your error message, please search in SCN, you will get many thread regarding the error.

Partner profile LI and unit of measure

Hi gurus,
I am experiencing a weird situation and probably you have any clue about it.
I have configured an output to send the Purchase order information via EDI. I have used the standard function and programs to create the output. I have created the condition record for that particular vendor and output.
Then i have created the LI partner profile in we20 with the vendor number and the message types ORDERS and ORDCHG and I have also included my output with the ME10 and the ME11 in each of the messages.
When i create the PO and the output is sent I have the PO number but then i have the standard error message " Update was terminated" with the error "There is no conversion factor for material and unit of measure !" I have reviewed the PO and i have used a UoM PC that i have as an ISO code.
the point is if I use a different LI partner profile with exactly the same information then the idoc is sent without any problem. I have deleted the partner LI that I orinally created and i created it again as a copy of the one that is working but without sucess.
I have reviewed the vendor master data...but all is exactly the same.
I think or there is some config missing or that I have created the partner profile incorrectly. But it is rare that the partner profile has any link to the UoM.
Do you have any idea what it can be?
thanks so much

I understand from your mail, you have maintained the ISO equivalence to your UOM. When you change your vendor in WE20, did you change that information in MN04? This is the place where the right output type is triggered.
Other than that make sure you configured all the necessary items in WE20 -> Outbound Parameters -> process code and all otehr necessary settings.
Let me know, how it works?

Stock inconsistencies due to wrong Unit of measure

Hi,
I am currently facing an issue, generated due to master data inconsistencies. The problem is as follows:
I have a material with Unit of measure " pack". A PO was supposed to be created for "100 packs" of this material, but somehow Unit of measure in PO was "each", and thus it was created for "100 each". The supplier has sent quantity as 100 packs. GR was done on the basis of PO thus 100 each was entered. Invoice has been created and settled. Stock overview is showing this material as "100 each" whereas actually the material quantity physically available is 300 (100x3, each pack has 3 pcs).
I need to correct this situation. so that stock and accounts show the correct data.
Is there any simple way of correcting this issue. like scrapping etc... and how??
Thank you.

Dear Priya,
You have completed the complete purchase cycle.
One way is to reverse the complete cycle, change the UOM and redo the cycle.
Ohter way is, if you need to increase the stock you can do that by delivery free of cost (mvt. type 511) or creating a PO with free tick followed by GR.
In this case you need to check the MAP of the material. If you need to change the MAP also then use transaction MR21.
Before doing please check the accounting impact of all these (the price difference account or the revaluation account will get hit).
In second option you can not change the UOM.(Maintain conversion factor between EA and PACK as 1:1)
Cheers,
Satish Purandare

Base unit of measure is different from Idoc to purchase order toSAP System.

Hi Gurs,
vendor send a purchase order for confirmation through EDI, the base unit of measure in the Idoc is PA( Parcel). For this same material the unit of measure in R/3 system is PC.( Piece). I got a error on this.I checked in CUNI, In Unit of measurement ST (PC) is already assigned to unit PCE in EDI. But i dont want to change the Conversion.I need this also and I want to create a new conversion ST(PC) is assign to PA( Parcel).
Please help in this.
Is it possible to maitainthe ISO-code PA into table Units of Measurement of Dimension?
Edited by: Vadivel Karalam on Nov 1, 2010 1:13 PM

Hi,
You are getting the error because as part of the std ( For ALE/EDI) the unit of measurement that is maintained is PC whereas if you look at another unit of measure that you have mentioned, the std doesn't define anything under the ALE/EDI setup.
Because of that all the conversions are coming with PC. So pls goto general settings and check unit of measure menu. There for each of your units, there is a section for ALE/EDI, set up the relevant UoM and the issue should get resolved.
Hope it helps.
