ALternate Unit of Measure as a Order unit in PO

Hi everyone,
I have a problem while ordering the Quantity in PO with alternate unit which is maintained in MMR. The problem is
in MMR, I have maintained EA as the UOM and PAC as the Alternate unit of measure.
while in PO, i am trying to give the 'Order Unit (OUn) as the PAC which is the alternate unit maintained. But it is not accepting and
again reverting back to EA. i couldnt find out the solution. But some POs for that material is already ordered as PAC unit.
Could it be problem with the MMR ?
Regards
Siva

HI,
Go to Inforecord of that material with that vender on that plant.
Change Inforecord(me12)...here in general data...change the order unit.
system will give the conversion factor as u defined in material master.
Hope Help U !

ME51n, ME21n Unit of measure F4 shows all units

Dear Gurus,
Transaction ME51n & Me21n
PR & PO line item Unit of Measure F4 show only commercial unit list. This is Ok.
But when we create Service PR or Service PO, the Item service details Unit of Measure F4 shows all Unit of measures (all entries in table T006) (commercial unit + other non commercial units).
Kindly inform why the Service detail Unit of Measure F4 show all the list.
Is it correct system behavior?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Mohan

i believe there is nothing worng with the system
as both are different table and moreover the data element for the field MIENS in both the tables is different
and i believe that reasons behind this is in case of service unit of measure can be a non dimenetional one as it is a functional requirement or a businees requirement
but in case if you order a material then in that case you need a specific and comercial unit of measurement
so as per my undersatanding nothing wrong in the system

Unit of measure in Sales Order

Hi All,
We have maintained base unit of measure as EA. the sales unit is not mentioned and hence system will take EA as sales unit also. We have maintained alternate unit of measure as BOX and a conversion factor for the same wrt EA.
When user enters sales order as 1 BOX we want tha system should convert the same into appropriate qty of EA. Right now the Unit is captured as 1 BOX if enterd as BOX. How to map the conversion of this BOX into EA immediately so that always the order is saved in unit EA.
Regards,
Prashant

Hi,
For this you should use the sales unit and it's conversion of each sales unit = how many no of base units and save this data at master level(MMR sales area data1).
once this mapping will done system will take default measurements of sales units and user can change this to the needed alternate units in the filed of "SU" after order quantity in sales order.

How can i change unit of measurement in sales order on header

Dear all,
I have material master with base unit of measurement " Ea ".
I have to take unit Pc in sales order.
how can i change unit on header in sales order.
i changed unit on line item in sales order by setting in sales unit field in material master.

Hi,
You can very well do it, please do the following steps,
Go to material master and select the Sales Org.1 and 2, here maintain the sales unit PC and
it will ask you for the conversion, so maintain your conversion for PC to EA. Then maintain
the Division, delivery plant, material pricing group and account assignment group(if not maintained) and save it
Now create the sales order for that resp. material, you will find that system will pick up
the sales unit which is maintained in the material master's sales orgnization tab.
For this you need not to change at the header level of sales order
Please check and revert.
Thanks,

Decimal places in unit of measure in Sales order

Hi,
In the Sales Order application in PCUI, when I create a create an order for customer XYZ, and add product ABC for qty 1 which uses unit of measure PC, the qty is displayed with 3 decimals as 1,000 whereas if I use the unit of measure EA the quantity is displayed without the 3 decimals as 1. I need the unit of measure PC to not have the decimal places like in SAPGUI.
Could anyone help me understand how this can be achieved?
Thank you for help in advance.
Regards,
Priya

To elaborate better.
Again, use Tcode CUNI - Unit of measurement : Initial Screen.
At initial screen, choose TIME from the list (where by default AAAADL- no dimensions is there).
And click on UNIT OF MEASUREMENT button.
In that you will find MON - Month.
There go for details by selecting MON or select MON and press F5 from Key board.
For MON unit maintain following parameter as per your requirement:
-Number of decimal places for number display
Use - This parameter determines the number of decimal places with which this measurement unit is displayed.
-Base ten exponent for floating-point display
Use - This exponent determines how the values for this measurement unit are formatted as floating point numbers.
Examples - If the exponent is 3, the floating point numbers have the format xxx.xxxxE3.
And deselect commercial meas. unit in application parameters section.
I would suggest instead of changing standard settings of MON, you create ZMON in TIME dimension.
Thanks & Regards

Batch specific unit of measure in process order

Hello,
I have a BOM with a component with active ingredient.
Batches are classified and transaction MMBE shown stock correctly in both units.
But when creating the process order I get two items with same item numer in the material list.
One for batch specifiv unit of measure which is fine.
I also get another line in the base unit of measure.
In table RESB both records have movement allowed so they show up in MIGO.
This increases the total requirements for the component.
What is happening??
Best regards,
TOr

Thanks for caring!
As for transaction MMBE it all looks fine. So basic definitions must be OK up to that point.
I think the point is to set requirement for the amount of active ingredient.
Do the batch determination for this.
Do the goods issue in physcial quantity which is the base unit of measure.
I did try now with KG in the BOM. I still get double items in the process order. Now both in KG.
One line is correclty copied.
The incorrect line which is the same in both cases says 1 KG. which is the correct conversion from 0,01KAI.

Adjusting the behavior of sales unit of measure on sales order

Hello Everyone,
I have a question regarding adjusting the behavior of sales unit of measure (UOM) on sales order (SO).
We maintain 3 UOM on material master u2013 A, B, C; where A is base UOM and C is sales UOM.
If we change the material on existing sales order in VA02, system also always changes the UOM on SO to C as well because C is sales UOM on material master. Sometimes SO quantities are in A or B UOM and we do not want system to change them to C when material is updated.
We know it is a standard SAP behavior and the question is if it can be adjusted somehow (in configuration or some other way), so system is not changing the UOM on existing SO to sales UOM when material is updated.
PS if we leave sales unit of measure field in material master blank, when material on SO is changed system is still changing the UOM, now to the base UOM A
Thank you!
Alex

ANSWER: According to SAP there is no way to change the behavior without taking the risk of breaking a lot of stuff.

Unit of measure problem between Order UOM, Base UOM and Inspetion UOM

Material: ROH-001
Base UOM: Meter

Inspection UOM: Roll
I have already maintained conversion factor in material master between meter and kilogram.
Is there any way to maintain KG in inspection plan header level and Roll in inspeciton plan operation level?
I tested, but the sample quantity is not as expected. Below is my testing data, please advise, thanks.
10 KG = 1,989 M
100 KG = 1 Roll

Unit of measurement in project system

Hi Experts,
Its relevant to PS module. Base unit of material is KG whereas sales unit is M2 and conversion is maintained between both. Now I am using sale unit (M2) while entering material componenets in project. Then I am raising PR, PO, GR in project and withdraw the material in sale unit M2. But system updates the report in KG (under purchasing data tab in project). When I get material report, system shows reqmt qty in M2 but received qty in KG. Its confusing and doesn' serve the reporting purpose. Can we do something so that received and withdrawn qty will appear in M2 (sale unit) rather than KG (base unit)?
Regards
Dinesh Chauhan

Hi,
You inventory is maintain always in base unit of measure.
You can maintain different unit in material master like,
Order unit(Purchasing view) : - For Purchase Order
Unit of issue(Plant data1) : - For issue material.
You can see material stock in both unit of measure in MMBE.
After enter material code you can see material stock, by changing material unit of measure you can also saw material stock in specific unit of measure.
Maintain Order unit of measure in purchasing view and also active variable active unit( Enter 1 = active) in purchasing view

PR qty in PO - Order unit Qty

Hi Happy New Year to all.
I have a material for which bas unit of measure is EA. Order unit is Box(1 Box = 6 EA). I have maintain conversion factor in mat master.
My question is that if my
PR qty is 6 or less than 6 then my order qty should be 1 BOX.
PR qty is 12 or less than 12 then my order qty should be 2 BOX.
MRP (VB) will be run every week.
PR created automatically by system in base unit of measure only. Is it possible to create PR in Order unit (BOX)?.
For example, when i refer my PR (qty 9) in PO, system picks the order unit as 2 BOXu2026.no problem)
But the real problem is that i have system message 00 06 076 as error message which is to check the PR qty in PO (My PO qty shouldnu2019t be more than PR qty). Due to this message i am not able to create PO(since PO qty exceeds PR qty in this case) .
Is there any way when the system creates PR with Base unit of measure along with order unit also?
Thanks

hi,
PR is always created with base unit of measure only.
If you want the order unit field can be displayed in PR by changing the layout which is not usually the
case
1) PO qty always less than PR and 2) rounding value is defined these 2 contradict each other
You should solve this first.Either change the error message to warning or remove the rounding value in material master so that PO qty is always less than PR.
thanks

IS-Retail:how to maintain different unit of measures for a article

hi experts,
                can anyone tell me how we maintain different unit of measures for sales and purchasing for a article.base unit of measure,order unit,var unit.Hope for a good answer.
Regards

Hi,
Go to MM42, select basic data view
In,Units of measure/ EANs /dimensions sub tab
there u can see four radio buttons
B.Un    Unit of measure is base unit (used internally only)
O.Un    Unit of measure is the order unit                             - Purchasing
D/L.Un Unit of measure is delivery unit/issue unit              - Logistics
S.Un    Unit of measure is the sales unit                             - Sales
for eg:
First line enter EA (each) or PC (piece) in Auom for a material and enter 1 in Number and select radio button for B.Un
Second line enter CT (carton) in Auom and enter 10 in Number and select radio button for O.UN (when you creating a PO it UOB automatically picks as CT)
Third line enter PALin Auom and enter 50 in Number and select radio button for D/l .UN (when u creating a delivery UOB picks as PAL ie pallets)
Fourth line enter EA or PC and enter 1 in Number and select radio button for S.UN (when u creating a Sales order UOB picks as EA or PC as u defined)

Decimal in Unit of Measure conversion

Hi Gurus,
I want to enter decimals in Unit of Measure conversion. System is giving the error that "Decimal not permitted". Actually the scenario is we have a material with KG as a base unit of measure. The ordering unit is "L" litre and the conversion factor is:
1 Litre = 0.792 KG
But when I am going to enter the conversion the system is not allowing to enter decimal. What I need to do in the configuration to enable the decimal entry.
Earliest response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

if 792 kg equal to 1000 ltr,
then 1 kg equals to 1,263 ltr.
when do you see this "conversion" to 12,62 litres? in ME21N after you entered 1 KG?
if yes, then your order unit is probably set to liter, further check if you have a rounding profile in material master or info record, that causes the switch from 1,26 to 12,62

Unit of measure in External requirement

Hi experts
When the requisitions are created in R/3 the unit of measure of the product is Base Unit of Measure and not Order unit, so the requisitions are transfered to SRM with the Base Unit of Measure but the material has in Purchassing an unit diferent unit of measure but the system not takes it in account, how can ensure the POs are created in SRM with the unit of measure of the material master Purchasing vision?
Thanks
Nilson

Hi. I am not sure if there is a better way, but units of measure are stored in SRM in table COMM_PR_UNIT.
You could use the BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI method BBP_PO_CHANGE to read the alterante unit and carry out the conversion.

Conversion of alternate unit of measurement

Hi,
System will not allow to enter conversions of unit of measurements in decimal points. But is there any configuration or method, we can force system to accept conversions of unit of measurements in decimal points only? (For example 2.5kg = 1pc, base unit of measurement is 'PC' and alternate unit of measurement is 'KG')
Regards,
Sattuj

Hi,
For the given example of Alternate conversion you can use the following setting :
2.5 Kg = 1 Pc
Put the Values as :
25 Kg = 10 Pc
With this the objective of Decimal is achieved.
Please check the following posts for more info :

Base and alternate unit of measure

HI,
can anyone please tell me
1) what is base unit of measure and alternate unit of measure.
2) what is the relationship between these two.
i have one program which currently calculates base unit of measure for all the unit costs and now i need to calculate the alternate unit of measure for all the unit cost
I heard that relationship of these two will be found in MARM table but i couldnt find it
Please tell me how do i do achieve it.
Thanks,
Ahmed.

Hi,
BASE UOM is the unit of measure which will be used by business to calculate the weight of the goods or rather the Unit of measure in which stocks of the material are managed.
Say for example I create one bulb. The base UOM is PCE or Piece.
It means that the Bulb will be referred to as 1 Piece irrespective of its weight.
So if in the sales order i put 10 PCE of Bulb it means 10 individual unit of the bulb.
Alternative UOM is the Unit of measure in which quantities can be entered alternatively to the base unit of measure / stockkeeping unit.
Say for example in our cases; we are selling these bulbs in boxes.
I BOX = 10 PCE .
So BOX becomes your alternate UOM.
The relation is maintained in MARM table via the additional view in the Material Master (MM01/ MM02/ MM03 transaction)
The relation 1 : 10 is managed by the UMREN UMREZ fields in MARM.
I hope this is useful for you.

Ankur Parab
