Multiple Unit of Measure Sales Order-Despatch

Hi
We are a texttile maunufacturing company and we receive orders for knitted fabric in meters. However, the complete accounting of knitted fabric is handled in Kgs. Prouction data is recorded in KGs and each despatch has 1000s of lines which need to be changed to meters while doing PGI. This is very time consuming. Alternate UOM at material level may not work for us, as the conversion factor for each batch varies. Can you please suggest some ways where by we can define the conversion factor at batch level.
Thanks in advance.
Shaji

Can you please explain this further? Do we still need to maintain alternate unit of measure in material master? Does the batch inherit the UOM from material master, which can be changed at batch level. In our case UOM remains KG at the time of production. However, at the time of delivery we need to deliver in meters. How do we define a conversion rate for the batch?
Regards
Shaji

Create Characteristic with multiple units of measure

Hello Friends,
I want to create characteristic (CT04) which has multiple units of measure. At present a Characteristic is created with a single unit of Measure. I have to create characeristic and assign it in MIC. MIC specifications are customer dependent. Customer may give specifications in different unit of measure. While creating sales order, I am entering the specifications for characteristics, as material is created with varient.
I am creating Single Characteristic multiple times for different Unit of Measure and assigning it to the class.
Therefore according to the Customer requirment and his specifed Unit of Measure, that Characteristic is choosen having same UoM as of Customer.
Insead of doing this, Is it possible to assign multiple units of measure to single characteristic?
Waitng for reply!

Kiran

Hi,
With Multiple Unit Of measures, I don't think its possible.
You can Use CHAR for characteristics, to Use.
Instead for Fixed Units. Let Marketing/sales Enter the req.
But you shall make it Multiple Selection, Since you can use them in Selection Condition.
Hope this is Useful.

What UOM's are we talking about?
Are you talking about ppm vs. %? Or ppm vs. ppb?
SAP can make some of these conversion automatically. I encourage clients to standardize what their lab people report on in inspection lots. I.e. they should always record ppm or always record % in the inspection lots.
In the certificates you can use the certificate profile to change the UOM actually reported on the COA to the customer. So you can record by ppm in the lab, but in the cert for the characteristic, you indicate that it should be reported in %. The system will automatically make this conversion for you.
If you are talking somethign like screens, I recommend doing all in the lab as either thru or on and doing calculated characterisitcs to calculate the opposite for those customers that want thru instead of on, or vice versa.

Price by multiple unit of measure

I have a requirement to price in multiple units of measure for the same material number. For example material # 12345
1 Box = $500
1 Ea = $1.50
1 Box = 500 ea
Customer orders 501 each of material 12345 on one line item of the sales order. Requirement is to price at $501.50 not $501.00
I have tried to use condition supplements without success. Does anyone have suggestions without using pricing requirements or forumals of how this requirement can be met?

hello, atul and friends.
i think interval pricing alone may not be enough, but definitely it could be part of the solution. (ms. gina, please confirm if i understood the requirement correctly)
let's say the customer orders 999 units, which will translate to 1 box and 499 loose units. the pricing will be something like:
$1 per unit times 999 units = $999.00
$0.10 per unit times 499 units loose = $49.90
total should be $ $1048.90
however, if order is 1000 units, pricing will be:
$500 time 2 boxes = $1000.00
so, the "surcharge" of $0.10 applies only to the loose units. but in the order, the quantity is entered either in boxes or units. the challenge is to create condition records that recognize this packing/grouping option. interval pricing must be supported by a feature that can recognize capacity.
regards!

Multiple units of measure (UoM) inventory 8.8

Anybody have any documentation on the multiple units of measure feature in 8.8. I have done the delta training but I can't see it in the current version I have installed (PL09).
Do I have to update to PL10 to get this feature? Does it not exist anymore? Or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Thank you for trying to help but unfortunately you are all not exactly correct on this...
I spoke to SAP and the functionality described in the 8.8 Delta video using strawberries as an example is misleading.
The new feature allows you to change Items Per Purchase Unit / Items Per Sales Unit on the document dynamically even if there are transactions to the item.
2007 and below locked the items per purchase / items per sales unit after a single transaction.
So the setup for this is NOT in the item master data it is a field called Items Per Unit in the marketing documents. The items per unit becomes the default but you can modify it for each document dynamically.
I made a simple dropdown list UDF and an FMS that allowed me to select different lengths and whatnot. And the FMS would input the correct conversion rate into the Items Per Unit field.
So for a purchasing (in this case a purchase order) example we store this particular unit in metric tonnes but we occasionally buy it in 25kg bags / 2200kg totes, etc. For the 25kg bags each bag would be 0.025 metric tonnes (mt). So when the dropdown says 25kg bag, the FMS inputs 0.025 in the items per unit field. Then when we say 100 bags, it would put them into inventory at 100 (qty) * 0.025 (items per unit) = 2.5 mt. In this case we inventory the item in metric tonnes and sell it in metric tonnes so it's a simple example only on the purchase side.
The only caveat to this is that the price doesn't dynamically change with the items per unit, but you could either make an FMS for that as well, or simply type it in manually.
This is for 8.8 ONLY not 2007.
There is no real documentation or training on this currently but I have confirmed this with SAP and used it in the system.
Hope this helps,
Mike

Need Multiple Units of Measure for a given material due to multiple vendors

Hello,
We have a requirement where we must have multiple units of measue (each, box, case, pallet) for a given material.
Background:
We have multiple vendors for one SAP material number. We need to store 4 levels of units of measure for each vendor+material combination.
Unit of Meaure levels
1. Each
2. Innerpack (ex: 12 each = 1 innerpack)
3. Box (ex: 36 eaches = 1 box)
4. Pallet (ex: 100 eaches = 1 pallet)
Standard SAP allows in MM01 additional data --> Units of Measure only 1 Ea, Box, Plt, etc.
Our requirement is to allow multiple Units of Measure due to multiple vendors providing the same material.
So, our unique combination is by a Material+Vendor.
We are considering adding the vendor name and vendor number to the material master --> additional data --> Units of Measure tab.
Does this seem like a good solution? What impacts do you foresee with approach?
Any alternatve solutions?
We thought we could enhance the purchasing info records to allow multiple units of measure too but then we need to also add many fields to hold the weight, lenght, height, width, volume, country of origin, etc.
Please recommend a best practice or solution to handle this requirement.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
Maintain the alternative units in Material Master in Additional Data -> Units of Measure section with proper conversion factors.
Create individual info-records i.e. per mtl-vendor combination & in the info-record maintain the order unit, along with other details as required.
Now when you create a PO, the details will be read from the info-record. To test the same, create them in your sandbox & see if it meets your requirement.
Hope the above clarifies your query.

Vivek

Multiple Unit of Measure in SAP BO

We have a requirement to use multiple unit of measures from one of our client whose business concern is manufacturing and tenneries.
We want to measure inventory in units and in meters at same time. For example, if one new unit measuring 50 metres is received in warehouse then it should be measured in units as well as in metres. If the last quantity in warehouse was 50 pcs with 600 metres then after the one unit addition it should update the inventory to 51 pcs with 650 metres.
Is there a solution or way we can use SAP BO with multiple UOM.

Hi,
In B1 8.8, you can use multiple unit of measure but it will be displayed in the sales marketing document and purchase document.
The stock UOM can't be managed by multiple UOM.
When you see field UOM in the item master data --> inventory tab, you can only enter one UOM there.
In the document level, you can maintain multiple UOM for the item or inventory. If you have defined the conversion of the UOM, it will be automatically calculated.

Multiple Units of Measurements for a single item

Hi all,
How do I maintain multiple units of measurements for a single Item/ I have a scenario where purchase orders are being made for sand in Metric Tons, Tons, Kgs and Cubit Feets. Each measurement is being used at each construction site of the company but the item is single sand. One more problem is here with the material reconciliation of stock since it is maintained in different units of measurement and conversion from unit to other is problematic.
Thanks

Selecting multiple lines in a sales order

Hello documentation says we should be able to select multiple lines in a sales order (for example to cancel them or remove them). Yet we cannot select more than one. Shift and Ctrl do not seem to work.
Any idea why this does not work ? We are running B1 2007A, patch 37.
Thanks a lot
Fabrice

Hi Fabrice,
if you have a sales order with hundreds of rows, use the 'Draw Document Wizard -> Customise' option to draw the required rows into the target document. Once all row data has been copied to the target, the row is greyed out in the sales order & can no longer be drawn. As long as the BP accepts partial deliveries, you may copy as much partial data to multiple target documents as necessary. Once you are finished with the sales order & there are rows still open, you may go to Data -> Close & hence close the entire document. There will be no need to delete the remaining rows.
All the best,
Kerstin

Maxium number of total delivery units in a sales order

Is there a way to check the maxium number of delivery units in a sales order without writing code?
This to image this:
In the Material Master I have this situation
Material 1 Master 50CS = 1 delivery unit
Material 2 Master 70CS = 1 delivery unit
Material 3 Master 80CS = 1 delivery unit
In Sales order, If the user try to save an order with total quantity > 3 delivery unites , I want to raise an message, … For example “Maximum number of pallet exceed”.
How Can I do? How can I raise this message, without writing code? Is there a way to check the maxium number of TOTALS delivery unites in a sales order.
I would like to check the TOTAL DELIVERY UNITS, not only the delivery units referred to each material.
Thank in advance.
Best regards

How can I raise this message, without writing code?
Without an ABAP coding in sale order user exit, this is definitely NOT possible.

Handling Unit assignation to sales order

Hi you all,
I am facing with a problem when trying to create a handling unit assigned to a sales order. I want to have the functionality of transaction HUP32. The problem with this transaction is that it is possible to include only one batch in the handling unit. I want to do this process but creating handling units with more than one batch.
The other option I've tried is to create the handling unit with transaction HU02. This handling unit is created with the batches and material that I want but then I can't assign the handling unit to the sales order item.
When I create the deliveries of this sales orders with handling units assigned, the handling unit is automatically assigned to the delivery. That's the functionality I want to keep.
If anybody could help me I would thank it very much

Multi-level Packaging in Delivery
Before creating the packaging material you have to go to:
IMG-Logistics Execution-Shipping -Packing.
1. Define packaging material types- it can be anything like boxes crates, etc. in this you have to maintain the output determination procedure, output type, plant determination, packaging material category, generate delivery items, number assignment. you can copy from standard also.
2. Then go to _define material group for packaging materials_ - here you maintain the four digit code and the description. Actually, this group is nothing but similar products which require similar packing products. For Ex. Nokia Phones all types they are basically packed first into a polythene bag. So here nokia phones can become a material group for packaging materials and polythene bag can become the packaging material type which can include different sizes and types of polythene bags.
3. _Define Allowed Packaging Materials_ - Here you assign the shipping group for packaging materials to the packaging material type. This is related to your material master data of the packaging material which you create.
Now go to MM01 to create a packaging material. use material type as Packaging material then inside the system will take the item category group as VERP.
Then in the Basic Data1 screen you have the material group for packaging material (MGPM). Select the proper one. Now in the Sales:General/ Plant screen you have to maintain data regarding the packaging. you select the MGPM same as the basic data 1 screen, then select the packaging material type, the allowed pkh weight, allowed pkg volume.
This is important because if the weight of your finished item is 2 KG and in the allowed pkg weight you enter only 1.5 KG, then while you carry out the packing process in delivery, the system will give you error," packaging weight exceeded."
The assignment in the IMG creen for Define allowed packaging materials should be same as u mention in the material master. Then save your material master for packaging material.
VA01 create the order, save it.
VL01N enter shipping point, go to edit - pack- you will face a screen with 2 parts. In the top part you select your packaging material in which you want to pack your finished item, enter the system will assign a number to that material. Now select the Material in the top part and the finished one in the lower part and click on the Icon Pack. Here one thing has to be taken care of.
Suppose if you want to pack only one finished item in one packaging material, then in the lower part of the screen you have a field for partial quantity here you change it to 1. system will prompt quantity changed. now you select the material in the top part and the one in the lower part and click on the PER PART. QTY ICON. In this way the system will pack only one finished item in a single packaging material. Packing is done go back, select the picking and do the PGI. save the delivery and create the invoice.
HANDLING UNITS. (Used for Multi level packing)
Basically handling units come into picture when you want to carry out multi level packing. suppose you want to pack Nokia phone first into a polythene bag, then this polythene bag is again packed in to box. like that. then this box will become a handling unit. For this go to :
IMG - Logistics General - Handling Unit Management - Basics.
First create all your packing materials using MM01 and type as packaging material. Maintain all the assignments in IMG in Logistics General.
In basics you do the same thing as you did in the packing in logistics execution. like you create the packaging material type, then MGPM and their assignment.
Then go to External Identification - and maintain the number ranges for the handling units that you want and assign the same to your packaging material type.
Now that you have done everything, create the order, save it, in VL01N, enter shipping point, go to edit - pack - do the same thing as i have told you in the step no. 6 (above). now after doing select the PACK HUs TAB . NOW IN THIS SCREEN IN THE TOP PART YOU WILL SEE THE ALREADY PACKED MATERIAL. In that same part again select your next packaging material that is BOX. enter the system will assign the number to the BOX.
Now select the material which you have just entered and the materials which were already packed in the lower part of the screen and click on the ICON PACK.
In the same way again in the top part of the screen you select your next level packaging material and press enter. the system will assign a number to it. now select the material you have just entered and the previously packed material in the lower part of the screen and click on the icon PACK.
In this way you can carry out multilevel packing. just take care of the allowed packing weight and the number of units you have to pack in the next packaging material.

Anbu
