Alternative UM in PO's: Inforecord vs Material Master

Hello everybody
I would like any help about this scenario:
STEP 1 - Material "MAT1" was created with UMB in TN's and with an alternative UM as follows: 1000 M3 = 1500 TN
STEP 2 - A PO was created with Material "MAT1" with Order Unit in M3, so an Inforecord was created (with Alternative UM 1000 M3 = 1500 TN)
STEP 3 - GR were booked.
STEP 4 - After a while, Material "MAT1" was modified with a differente Alternative UM as follows: 1000 M3 = 1510 TN.
STEP 5 - A new PO was created with the same Material "MAT1" and take the Alternative UM from Inforecord that it was wrong since in previous STEP (4) in material master was chenged it.
If this behaivor is standar in SAP of anyone knows if there is an option (customizing) in order to change ithe Alternative UM in Inforecords in a Massive way.
Thanks in advance for any help or comment.

Planned delivery time Pickup from inforecord not material master data

Hi,
Currently the delivery dates of the orders are calculated with the delivery time which is marked in MM02. Since the purchasing integrates this information in the info record, we want the delivery date to be calculated with delivery time of the info record instead of calculating it with the data of MM02
Please suggest any config.
Thanks
Shital D

Hi,
Try like this, ME21N, put the vendor, material , plant and other Org elements, hit enter, and check P.O what is the planned delivery time that you are seeing, also is the same PIR also appearing in the P.O when you scroll to the right?
Also note.. that system might be picking 3, maybe saturday and sunday holiday is coming, check that too

LSMW - inforecord / material master - syntax error when converting data

Hi all,
I used LSMW for classification uploads (material master, vendor master) so far - it was easy :-). But..I tried to create/update inforecords by object 0060, method 0000, program RM06IBI0. I declared source structure, source fields, field mappings and conversion rules (in my batch input I use only fields which we defined as required for infrecs.), files etc. LSMW reads the data but when I try Convert data - the is syntax error in program /1CADMC/SAP_LSMW_CONV_00000018 and dump with message "For type "C", a maximum length specification of 65535 is allowed." When I tried to create material master (object 0020, method 0000), Convert data command worked the same.
Any help would be appreciated. (? sample from your batch input file which works well to compare)
Tomas

Hi Tomas,
Please do me a favor. In the initial screen of LSMW, there is a pushbutton for 'Personal Menu'. Once you press that it will pop-up a screen with a bunch of checkboxes. Select the checkbox for 'Display Conversion Program' and press enter. Now you should see the 'Display Conversion Program' option in your initial screen. Select that and go into the conversion program. Put a break-point in the conversion program on the statement 'perform execute_data_conversion.'.
Debug it and find out exactly where the error is occuring. Perhaps that will help you figure out what the error is, if not, let the forum know where you hit the error. Even looking at the dump, you should get more information.

Material master price, inforecord price and GR

Hi gurus,
Can annybody please clear my confusion. On the PO the price that is proposed is from the inforecord. When we receive the PO, what is the price at which the stock will be valuated? is it the material master price or the inforecord price? if we change the price on the PO after the inforecord has proposed the price, will the GR be valuated at the changed price of the PO. Please expolain
Thanks
ANusha
Edited by: anusha vemulapati on Jan 19, 2010 8:11 PM

the GR is valuated according to the price control set in the material master. if the price control is standard price, then the GR is valuated with the standard price, no matter what price the PO has.
in case of moving average price: if the goods receipt is executed before the invoice receipt, the goods movement is valuated with the purchase order price. If an invoice is already posted, the system uses the price of the invoice. If a partial invoice is received, the partial quantity corresponding to the invoice is valuated with the invoice price, the rest is valuated with the purchase order price.
if you change the price in the PO before you do a Goods receipt (and before you post an invoice receipt), then the GR is valuated with this new entered price.
how the price in PO is determined can be read in OSS Note 456691 - FAQ: Price determination in purchasing

Not allow order unit in INFO record if it is not in material master

Hello there!
In standar SAP any user can introduce any order unit in the info record, even if it is not maintained in the material master alternative units of meassure. We need to block this...
The conversion factor is not a problem for us, as we can set it only for display in the customizing, so that the systems brings it automatically from material master
The idea is to allow as order units only those units of meassure that exist in material master.
We have been checking if it is possible, but no success...
Any idea on how to get it? Error messages, user exists, or so on...
Thanks!!

New Text in the Sales Text View in the Material Master

Hi All,
I want to create new text ID in the material master sales text tab
Can you please help me in how to create the new text for material master sales text tab view.
Regards
Rajesh

Well it may not be possible by standard SAP to create in Material.
AN alternative might be to use a standard text type and then call it in your Text Determination Procedure.
T-code "SO10" --> Give "Text Name & Text ID & Language --> Click at "Create" --> On next screen --> Go to (Menu) --> change editor --> Write the text which you want
Go to VOTXN , and maintain the required confirguation to get this standard Text copied to the material during order processing.

Order unit in material master

Hi Gurus,
We have maintained order unit CS in material master, while creating purchase order we have changed the order unit CS to BAG. conversion was not maintained for BAG in material master.
But still PO is not throwing any error message. In actual it should give error message ..right ? as we have changed the order unit CS to BAG?
Please clarify
subbu

Hello,
If that Unit & its conversion wrt to base unit is niether maintained in Material master or nor in inforecord, then, system throws an error. Please check whether "BAG" is maintaiened in material master or inforecord. Also check message setting.
Hope it will help u..
Thanks

Material master-additonal unit of measurement

HI, I have three questions
a) we have the follwoing data defined in material master (additonal data)
X UOM Y UOM EAN
1 LITRES 1 LITRES NIL
1 IGB (inner packg) 20 LITRES 345922222222
1 GBE (packg) 20 LITRES 345922222222
I need to know what is EAN no and in our case the EAN no is same for both inner packg and pack. . what does this mean. Sometimes we also see the EAN no is different. why... what it signifies ?
2) We have outbound idoc trigerred from delivery. message type is WHSOD. in one of the segments (E1EDL24), the system shows the delivery qty and material no. This segment also shows the EAN NO AS 345922222222. In segment E1EDL26, the filed UMVKZ shows as 1 which is ok (numerator as shown above) but the numerator field shows 1 only (it does not show 20 litres,, i think the field name is UB something ).
I need to know why the system is not showing 20 litres in numerator in the filed for segment E1EDL26.
3) Had we have two different EAN in material master as above, did our standard message type would have shown the conversion factors (numerator and denomi ) as per the EAN nos.....If yes, then in which segments ,the WHSORD shows the Conversion factors based on different EAN nos in material master-UOM tab (for instance if 1 GBE (packg) = 30 LITRES and EAN IS 345911111111.... I think there will be as many segments in idoc as there are entries in Additonal data-UOM tab )

Hi Jurgen,
I think you did not understand. My questions is as follows.
a) why we maintain alternative UOM in material mastr (additional data) ? an example ould be good.
b) We have in our system base unit of masuement as litres and sales unit as blank. that means system will take sales unit of measurementt as litres only.
now we make sales order and make delivery and a outbound whsord idoc is sent to third party warehouse. the third party warehouse undertsands only IGB(pack ) unit of measure wherase our idoc i think will carry LT (litres ) as UOM...
we do maintain the conversion factor between litres and IGB in our material master (additional data tab).That is our idoc shud carry conevrsion factor as maintained in ur material maste ( 20litres =1 igb ). so our idoc shud carry .05 as conversion factor
so that our third party warehouse understands that and dispatch 1 IGB of qty (2 litres as per our delivery )

Changing the Unit of Measurement in Material Master

Dear Experts,
Material DF21DENG (fert) was created with KGS (kilogram per second) as its unit of measurement. A material BOM was now created for DF21DENG.
I intend to change the unit of DF21DENG from KGS to KG (kilogram). On doing this in the Basic data view of DF21DENG, i get the message " change is not possible because a BOM exists for this material".
In the BOM of DF21DENG, I set the deletion flag on & tried to change the unit in the Material master again but got the same massage.
Please how can I effect this change?

This response was helpful but was solved the problem was that; from the Edit, i selected Delete from the drop down & then the alternative BOM was deleted.

Unit of Measurement in Material Master

Hello Experts...
I have an intresting issue on Unit of Measurement. I would like to maintain alternative unit of measurement as per below..
1 EA = 1 EA
1 ROLL = 5000 EA
1 CT = 150,000 EA
However the field UMREZ length in the material master allows me to enter upto 5 digits...and also it is not possible to enter decimal digits here.
Have any one of you faced this kind of issue, if any one faced what would be the solution for this...?
Look forward to hearing from you..
Cheers
Umakanth..

Hi Umakanth,
For increasing the numerator for conversion of base unit of measure, UMREZ would be appending the structure SMEINH by requesting Access Key from SAP.
Even though its not a suggestible decision to append standard SAP structure , if the requirement demands we may need to do that.
Cheers!

Batch Management Indicator Required - Material Master

Hello,
My requirement -
Batch management field has to be required for material Type "FERT"
1) I created a new field selection group for the field "batch management" (MARA-XCHPF)
2) Created a new Field Reference group with "Required" entry (OMS9)
3) Assigned the New Field Reference to the material Type in OMS2
The batch management Field is now a mandatory field.
Issue is, when we try to create only the basic Data Views of a FERT material, system does not allow to save the material untill the "Batch Management Indicator" is activated (even if we are not referencing to any plant specific views of the material master.)
We need to have the the Batch management indicator a required entry for FERT, but at the same time should be able to create material master with basic data Field only (we would be extending the plant specific views later)
Is there a alternative method to have this setting to meet the requirements above?
Thanks

Hi
I think you can check if the batch level is defined on material or client now, if yes, you may check if that can be switched to plant level. As far as I knw the basic data is for client so the field is shown on basic data view and ask to input value as you customized.
Alternatively, I think you can use the user exit MGA00001to check the field instead of the field selection, this is called when the material master get saved, then you can write your own source code to chec if the customer filled the field only for certain situations.
Best Regards.
Leon.

Unit of measure in Material Master after PO's created

Hello Everyone,
I know that we can't change the material measure unit once PO's and other documents are created.
What can I do with the PO so i can change the material measure unit?
Thanks in Advance.

From OSS note 138767
Within the material master record maintenance, you want to change the base unit of measure (base unit). During the change, the system performs extensive checks in order to avoid inconsistencies in the applications which use the material master.
In particular, the following checks are performed:
The base unit must not be defined as an alternative unit of measure for the material
No International Article Number must be assigned to the base unit
No proportion/product units must be defined for the material
No configurable material must be assigned
The material must not be used as a configurable material
Stock must neither exist for the previous period nor for the current period
No physical inventory must be active
No reservations or dependent requirements must exist for which the deletion indicator is not set
No planned orders must exist
No purchase requisitions, purchase orders or scheduling agreements must exist for which the deletion indicator is not set
No WM transfer requirements, no WM quants or no WM posting change notices must exist
The material must not be a bill of material
The material must not be contained in a bill of material
The material must not be used as a production resource/tool
The material must not be used in task lists
No standard cost estimate must exist for the current or future period
No production orders must exist
No planned independent requirements must exist
No run schedule headers must exist
If the base unit has dimensions, no serial number profile must be assigned
No sales and distribution documents must exist which have status Not processed or Partially processed.
Solution
If necessary, all reasons mentioned above must be eliminated by archiving the objects listed.
