Alternate Unit of Measure (UOM)

Dear all,
I am trying to load alternate unit of measure through 'MM02' transaction. I have to add multiple EAN's. After the load is done i can see only one EAN being populated while the other is not getting loaded. Please let me know why this is happening. I have tried this manually and this is working but not through LSMW direct input.
Thanks

in my case also not working for LSMW Direct input so that i have done through LSMW -Recording method with below fileds

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 !

Order qty by alternate unit of measures

Hi All,
In casting senario I want to map follwing.
I have created a material having UOM as "g" i.e. grams and maintained a conversion factor in alternate unit of measure to convert it to "MM" i.e. milimeters. I have also maintained alternate unit of measure in work scheduling view. Now when I create the order its in MM which is correct but I want to restrict order qty to 500 mm.
Means if the requirement is generated for say 650 mm length then order qty should be 2 having 500 mm length each.
How do i do this? Please advise.
Regards,
UG

Dear ,
You can achieve the same by keeping Fixed Lot Size FX and keep the quantity as 500 in the same UOM at material master level -MM02. in MRP1
Or if you want that 500 mm is your Maximum Order Qty , then you can mention the same in Maximum Lot Size field in MRP1
Try and revert back

How to report on Alternate Units of measure

Hi ,
I am trying to implement the unit conversion ..i have few basic questions..
1)Do we need to have the 0MAT_UNIT in the cube/ODS
2)for 0material do i specifically need the base unit of measure as unit for the attribute conversion factor..
How do i go ahead if my conversion factor has a different unit..
3)In my scenario i am trying to do unit conversion on a keyfigure which has unit as billing qty in SKU..Do I need to do anything different in this case in order to convert to a diff unit..
Had changed the code given in the how to do doc..The report gave all the values as zero.
Pl suggest.
Appreciate ur inputs.
Regards,
G.V

I am using BW 3.5 .
Loaded/activated both 0material and omat_unit.
0MAT_UNIT is not maintained in the ODS/CUBE.
The keyfigure i am trying to convert to alternate unit of measure is billing qty in SKU which has billing qty in SKU
as unit to that quantity..
The user input variable for alternate unit of measure is defined on the unit billing qty in SKU..
when i debug it is not processing through this loop..
IF i_step = 0 AND i_vnam = 'YUOMCNVF' AND i_iobjnm = '0MATERIAL'.
read material and base uom from variables
LOOP AT i_t_var_range INTO l_s_var.
CASE l_s_var-iobjnm.
WHEN '0MATERIAL'. l_material = l_s_var-low.
WHEN '0BASE_UOM'. l_base_uom = l_s_var-low.
ENDCASE.
ENDLOOP.

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?

Stock display with Alternate unit of measure

Hi All,
is there any report in SAP, which displays the warehouse stock with Alternate Unit of measure. I did try in MB52. It was showing only in BUM. Please help ASAP.
Ayesha

Hello Ayesha,
We had the same requirement. So we copied MB52 to ZMB52 and added a new selection for the AUM. Additional coding was also done for the UoM conversion.
Cheers !

Mass Add of Alternate Unit of Measure

I'm looking for a transaction that will let me massively add to materials the same alternate unit of measure.
ANYONE?

I believe MM17 and using table MARM should allow you to upload alt. UOMs. I have not tried this before so definitely verify that in test first.

Reporting Data in Alternate Units of Measure

We have a requirement to report data in base unit of measure and also in pounds and kilograms. I have read the paper "How to Report Data in Alternate Units of Measure". My problem is that in our R/3 system the conversion from base unit of measure to pounds is maintained, but no conversion from base unit of measure to kilograms is maintained. In BW, I have 0MAT_UNIT for conversion to pounds but not to kilograms. For the solution to work, am I correct in thinking that the conversion to kilograms must exist in 0MAT_UNIT?
Also, the paper states that it is applicable to BW releases 2.0A to 3.1C. Those of you on BW 3.5 - is there new functionality or a different way of handling reporting in alternate units of measure?
Thanks for your help,
Gail Bodner

Gail,
Nothing new in 3.5 for UoM conversion. It will still have to be the way described in the How To paper.
Maintin the conversion in R/3. Also, Pounds to KG is a standard coversion - you can hard code it too. Issue in UoM conversion comes in where you cut across type of uints, i.e. from vol. to weight. Then additional information like density is needed but within the same area, it shouldn't be a problem.
Cheers

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.

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.

Material upload: alternate unit of measure problem

Hello,
I'm uploading materials using LSMW (BAPI nethod: BUS1001006). I have a problem for the records with alternate units of measure. I put the units in a separate file and map the ISO code and the Numerator. However, I receive an error M3333 for the materials with 2 rows (one basic UoM and other alternate), which says that I have to maintain conversion factors for the alternate UoM. I thought, I'm doing so by providing Numerator (E1BP_MARM-NUMERATOR), but somehow it's not enough.
Any assistance will be highly appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Eli

BOM with alternate unit of measure

Hello team
Is it possible to create the BOM with alternate unit of measure ?
Thanks
JJ

Hi,
Not possible to create BOM by item material with alt unit of measure.
If you want to use other UOM in production, use issue unit in work scheduling view.
If you want to procure use order unit in purchasing view.
For selling use sale unit in sales view.

Display of Alternate Unit of Measure

Hi there,
We try to display alternate unit of measure <b>in BEx</b> by implementing the following Howto Doc:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sapportals.km.docs/documents/a1-8-4/how to report data in alternate units of measure
It works fine as long as 0MATERIAL is included <b>in the rows</b> of the report.
In any other case (e.g. 0MATERIAL is a free characteristic or not included in the report at all) this solution won't work and we get the "red x"!
Any suggestions??
Thanx,
Ofer.

Hi Ofer,
Virtual Char/KF behave as normal Char/KF in a sense that you create and add them in Infoproviders or Queries just like normal Char/KF. But they do not hold any data/values and their values are determined only at query run time (by writing code in user-exit for virtual kf/char.)
The logic could be something like this (though I'm pretty sure, would need to work on it again ):
Keep in mind that all this would be performed at query run time:
1. For each record, read material master data.
2. Get quantity, UoM for above record.
2. Get UoM from selection screen variable.
3. Convert and store in virtual KF.
You can search this forum for more information on it. Do let us know if need any more info.
Regards,
Vikrant.

Regarding Alternate Unit of Measure

Sir,
Is there a provision to create a material with an Alternate Unit of Measure apart from the Barse Unit of Measure?.
In this case what impact will the Alternate Unit of Measure have in the BOM?. How to configure the Alternate Unit of Measure of a Child Component in the BOM?.
Can anyone give a detailed explanation of the subject.
Regards,
R. Vijayakumar

Hi,
Use tcode MM01 and select Additional data field in top. In this select Unit of measure tab page.
Now enter the alt UOM with conversion factor.
In this case what impact will the Alternate Unit of Measure have in the BOM?.
In the BOM, you can assign only base unit. Alt UOM can not assign.
How to configure the Alternate Unit of Measure of a Child Component in the BOM?.
In the BOM, you can assign only base unit. Alt UOM can not assign.

Re:alternate unit of measure effects in sales.

Hi, guru's,
I have added the alternate unit of measure, for the required material in additional data & additional EAN's., for the convinience of creating P.O. in our desired unit but, it is said that, due to this addition AUOM, adverse effect has occured in sales, is it possible.
thanks
tuljasingh

hi,
yes it happens...
sales unit is diff used for sales and ordering unit is diff
so that sthe reason while creating PO or sales if the material has AOUM then we get diff UOM`s
