Adding Alternative Unit of measure as part of  attributte of material

Hi gurus,
In our source system each material has alternative unit of measure which contain info on converting the base unit of measure (CAR) to MT and PAL.
I need to add this info as part of material attribute
e.g.
Material "A" 10CART = 1 PAL & 100CART = 1MT
This information captured in MM table "MARM" with material code as the
As part of 0MATERIAL_ATTR , i need to have additional field that capture the info as below
CARTPAL = 0.1 (1/10)
CARTMT = 0.01 (1/100)
Please help to advice on how to enhance the extractor to cater the above requirement.
Your help highly appreciated
Thank you

hi,
According to me you can enhance the 0Material_attr to bring the required information from ECC.
But before enhancing anything ask func consultant or business below ques.
1) will these unit entry will get created in MARM for any material at the creation of material or it will get updated later on
2) will this unit value get change for any material during its entire life
If any of above que ans is yes then how wud u manage in transaction data if unit get changed.
For that u need to apply feedback concept in transaction dso.

Ashish

    Hi  Will
    Unit of measure at item level is in
    Segment --> E1EDP01 : IDoc: Document Item General Data
    Field -->  MENEE : Unit of measure
    Do you want to convert the Unit of measure in outbound idoc?
    Use conversion rules for this...
    or
    do  you want send  Unit of measure  and secondary unit of measure ??

  • Alternative unit of measure.. how in this scenario?

    Hi,
    KG is our base unit of measure
    and we would to use Littres(L) as the purchasing unit for this material.
    Therefore, we tried in system adding litres as alternative unit of measure.
    But we cannot figure out how to put in the density 0,87 kg/l as net weight only as gross weight.
    I have tried the below but system complained that "decimal places are not permitted"
    X----AUN-<=YBUnGrossWeight--NetWeight
    1-----L--<=-0,87--KG-0,87--
    1,000
    1,149-L--<=1--KG-0,87--
    1,000
    any clue?
    tjanks
    Tuff

    In purchasing view after defining alternative unit of measurement as L a POP up appears there you maintain as ,
    For ex:1kg-0.87L, then maintain such as 100 KG-87L.to avoide the decimal places.

  • COPA reports - Quantity in alternative Unit of Measure

    Hi all
       My clients requirement is to dispaly quantities in both base UoM and alternative UoM in COPA reports. Alternative unit of measure and the conversion factor is maintained in the additional data of material master. After reading through several forums and documentation, i understand that this can be achieved using COPA enhancement COPA0005.
    I am thinking of creating new value field to store the quantity in alternative UoM and to calculate the required quantity using the conversion factors in MARM table.
    But I have a few questions regading the same.
    1. There are 2 function modules EXIT_SAPLKEII_001 and EXIT_SAPLKEII_002. Which one should i be using for my purpose?
    2. Should enchanement COPA0003 be actived first to make COPA0005 active?
    3. Is any other configuration required apart from created in new value field for quantity in alternative UoM.
    Thanks

    Thanks Ajay for ur reply.
    When I created the quantity value field (say VVXXX), added it to Op. Concern and regenerated the structure; the system itself created the quantity unit field  VVXXX_ME for alt UoM. This field is also added to field catalougue and is also readily avialable for used in KE30. So I didn't have to create a new Characteristic.
    In my case, the alternative UoM is not the same and depends on the material.

  • Creation of Inspection lot in Alternative Unit of measure

    Dear Guru,
    Our implementation is going on in a Tube manufacturing company where Base Unit is maintain  in KG & 100 % visual inspection is taken place & we accept or reject tube on Pieces. So how can we do this in SAP, Because in SAP Inspection Lot is created on Base Unit & UD (Stock Movement) also in base unit, How can we in corporate Alternative Unit of measure.

    Hi,
          1. give unit of conversion in MM basic data (Unit of measurement) say 1 kg = 10 pieces
           2. add unit of issue as a Pieces in MM QM view
            3. add in inspection paln Unit of measure as Pieces ( if possible )
    Now during stock posting  post the stock KG  and now see in stock MMBE by changing the UOm as a pieces you will get the stock in pieces and you can now issue the material in pieces too.

  • No alternative unit of measure specified

    Hi,
    We are encountering no alternative unit of measure specified upon confirming the process order in COR6. What might be the problem. The base unit of measure is properly maintained in MM. Base unit of measure is Btl and the unit of issue is case.
    Hope you could help us.
    Thanks

    Hi
    In the confirmation screen, in the yeild  unit field is there. open the field there and check whether you units are displayed there or not. If they are not defined there then open the table and update your units there

  • Alternative unit of Measure for variant material

    Dear All,
    Here is an interesting scenario,
    There is a naterial Billet with two variant characteristics length and size. and base unit of measure is TON. Now alternative unit of measure is PCS.  How can define the conversion factor on the basis of these two variant characteristics.
    In normal material (without variant char.)
    we can define conversion factor 1PCS= 2TON
    For variant material,
    For the material Billet with variant charc length and size how can i define conversion
    so that system calculates diff. PCS with diff. length and size but material is same. So how can i Do that.
    for example for same material Billet but variant char. Length is 6 M and size is 120*120 ,its wt will be 2 TON for 1 PCS.
    for the same material Billet with variant char. length 12 M and size 120*120, its wt will be 12TON for 1 PCS.
    How can i cater this for the same material.

    Hi Shoaib,
    We have faced the similar scenario for steel industry. Based on my experience, it is not possible to define variable values for Alternative UOM conversion with the variant characteristic/configuration, specially if you want SAP to maintain inventory with variable conversion rate.
    Use the Batch specific unit of measure for this situation.
    1) Create batch specific UOM i.e. Ton_per_pc (TOP) --- User proportional unit conversion
    2) Create batch characteristic ton_per_pc and assigned UOm.
    3) In material master additonal data select proportion unit and enter the standard conversion rate between ton & pcs.
    4) While doing GR - In batch creation you can enter whatever the conversion rate is and Inventory will be updated accordingly.

    Ravi.

  • Alternative unit of measure in BOM explosion report

    Dear gurus
    I want to get the alternative unit of measure along with the base unit of measure during the BOM explosion report in CS11.I tried with the layout but I cant find the same.

    Hi Kumar,
    You can develop  a Z report. In the standard CS11, the functionality of displaying the alternate UOM is not feasible.

  • Issue in Alternative unit of measure (MARM) update using MM17

    Hi,
    I have tried to update alternative unit of measure (MARM) for some materials using MM17.
    It is working for some unit of measures (Like FT).
    But if I try to changes the unit of Measure value for PLB (Counter & Denominator) or DLB it is changing for UNC, if UNC unit of measure is not there for that material then the UNC is getting created.
    But according to MM17 functionality I think PLB values should change.
    Please check and let me, if you have any solution or any one faced the same issue.
    Thanks
    sham.

    Hi Sham,
    Your problem could be caused by wrongly assigned ISO codes to the  unit of measures involved. Most probably to these unit of measures   the same ISO code is assigned. This leads then to problems in the ALE interface of the material master, which is used too by the mass maintenance transaction MM17.
    There only the ISO-code is given  and then the System doesn't know the correct unit of measure, which     
    should be used. So it is possible, that the change is done for a  wrong unit of measure.
    Please check for this your customizing in transaction CUNI.                                                       
    Regards

  • QAC1 in alternative unit of measure

    I need to know how can I make the quantity correction of actual quantity of inspection lot based on the alternative unit of measure not the base unit of measure?
    I have inspection lot (04) where it's actual quantity is in base unit of measure M2 but I need to make the correction in CAR which is the alternative UOM.
    As i know there is a SAP not that allows the posting at UD to be done in alternative unit of measure so I am asking if there is any similar solution for QAC1?
    I need that urgently and Thanks in advance
