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.
How is this possible?
regards
kumar s

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

Discontinued parts in BoM explosion reports

I am having difficulty with the BoM explosion reports (CS11-13, and CSP1-3), in that they seem to take no notice of discontinuation. In particular we have some assemblies which are discontinued, and replaced by alternative parts with a different sub-assembly BoM. It does not seem possible to explode through the new BoM - the reports appear to continue to use the obsolete assembly.
Am I doing something wrong? It would seem clear that the reports should explode the BoM through the new assemblies, particularly if there is no stock of the obsolete part.
Is there an alternative way to get a BoM explosion report which does take note of the discontinuation data?

Hi,
In my opinion discontinuation is considered only during MRP run (planning) and has nothing to do with BOM reports (CS03, CS11, CS12, CSMB, etc).
SAP online help:
If this indicator is set, the material is defined as 'to be discontinued'. The material is then discontinued in MRP. MRP transfers dependent requirements that are no longer covered by stock of this material to the follow-up material.
So, I think you won't see the follow-up material in BOM reports. Even if you maintain the discountinuation in BOM I think you cannot see the actual sitruation in BOM reports (you will see both follow-up and discontinued material).
I hope I'm mistaken and this is a solved issue in SAP.

Sales Information System (SIS) Reporting- Alternative Units of Measure

Guys,
Does anyone know how can we view SIS Reports (either using Standard or Flexible Analysis) in Alternative Units of Measure? Currently, all the quantities (example Order Quantity) are displayed in Base Unit of Measure .
Thanks a Lot

Hai john ,
If i copy the mc.1 to make -Z report in this how can i view the stock in alternative units as Kgs..But in master datas we maitained as BUM-Nos . For the same material master we are maitaining in additional datas as 1000 nos =40 kgs, if i take the report system will calculate the current stock with the AUM as kgs .for this pls suggest ie have 1000 nos stock if i choose AUM it should shows as 40 Kgs .How to make program for calculating formulas.PLs reply me asap
Thanks in advance

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.

How to make system consider Alternative unit of measure while creating BOM?

Dear Experts,
When creating a BOM, how do I make the system consider the alternative unit of measure if at the point of creating the BOM, I decide to use the component material alternative unit of measure? The scenario is as follows:
Header
Material code is TK677, Base Unit of Measure is Litres.
Components:
Material code is RT677, Base Unit of measure is Litres.
Material code is RV677, Base Unit of measure is Kilogram.
When formulation is done in the laboratory, the components are weighed and measured in percentage weight. For example, 20% for first component (RT677) and 80% (RV677) for the second component.
To depict this, I maintain an alternative unit of measure of Kg in the Material Master of RT677, and maintain the conversion factor (100kg = 116Litres) so as to enable me use Kg as unit of measure for material RT677 when creating the BOM.
When creating the BOM, I enter Kg as unit of measure for material RT677, but gets the system error message ''Unit of measure KG not supported for material RT677 in plant NG00
Message no. 29175''
What do i need to do as I have already maintained Kg as alternative unit of measure? or which other better way should i handle this issue?

Thanks a lot for your reply, it worked, it allowed me to create the BOM using Kg for component RT677. But the new challenge i am now facing is that when I try to create a process order copyiing this BOM, it gives me the same unit (Kg) for component RT677 whose base unit of measure is Litres.
I actually want the process order to copy the BOM and use Litres for component RT677 based on the conversion factor which I have maintained in the Additional Data window of the material master.
The reason is that, the formulation done in the lab is measured in percentage weight, but this component weight is now scaled up to Litres when the component is pumped into the Blending Vessels as specified in their Blending Instruction.
Please how do I ensure that when the master recipe is copied during creation of the Process Order, that the unit of measure will be the base unit of measure (Litres) despite the fact that I have used the alternative unit of measure (Kg) for this component during creation of the BOM.
Thanks

Error in units of measurement conversion "BOM"

hello gurus gudmorning everybody
i have problem in project regarding the units   of measurement conversion BOM
this is the scenario: 1000 ft2( BASE UNIT MEASUREMENT) = 1ea (    SALES UNIT) ( 2bed room flat) it is a higher level item
sub items are in EA base unit measurement ex: like one sofa one air conditioner etc instead of taking sale unit measurement of higher level item , its taking base unit mesurement of higher level item , .i.e instead of taking 1EA 2bhk = 1AC, 1 SOFA,   but is calculating 1000ft2( 2bhk)   = 1000ac, 1000sofa , plz help out to rectify the conversion
thank you in advance
venkat

Dear Venkat,
Try with this
Please maintain the alternative unit of measure in sub itemes master data at Additional tab like this
in AC master data 1EA = 1AC and 1AC = 1EA 2BHK
in Sofa master data 1EA = 1 Sofa and 1Sofa = 1EA 2BHK
Now you try
I hope this will help you,

Stock and Values in Alternative Unit of Measure

Dear Experts,
Can anybody suggest me any Standard Report for Stock and Value in Alternative Unit of Measure.

Hi,
you cannot take stock report with alternate UoM. Alternate UoM is for "ORDERING" purpose only and not for SKU.

Requirement in alternative unit of measure

Hi,
A material is maintained with EA as Base unit of measure and alternative unit of measure is maintained as 100m=1 EA. when MRP is run, the requirement appears in EA and not meteres. The issuing UOM is maintained as M in plant/storage view. Is there a way to have the uom for the requirement in the reservation to be in Meteres.
thanks

Dear
Please check in BOM, routing according to the same UOM.
And in Stock reqyuirement list MDO4 click on the Settings there u ll find the general settings under that tab u find the UOM
basuunit of measure and alternate unit of measre in that u ll find the list

GR IN ALTERNATIVE UNIT OF MEASURE

Dear Friends,
I want to know report for GR of production order in alternative unit of measure for a specific day.
Plz help me
Thanks
KK

Hi,
There is ni standard report in SAP for this.
As for the GR, this cannot be changed, you can disply stock in L or EA in many reports and transactions (MMBE and the physical inventory transactions can all be in either UOM for instance) but the main UOM for stock is the UOM defined on the issuing UOM on the plant / storage view of the material master. Or use MB51with movement type.
Or try report 'SAPMUNIT' from SE38

Unit of measure in BOM

Hi...
I have one problem with unit of measure in BOM.
We can maintain item quantity upto 3 decimal point.My problem is with one of material having consumption of 0.01042 for 1pc of header material.
Due to constraint in maintining decimal point in BOM we maintained it as 0.011 & it leads to undesired result after BOM explosion.
I know there is one way of going with base qty. of header to be changed.
Suggest other else?How to get out of this.....
Regards
Tushar

Hi Brhamankar...Thanx for your valuable i/p.
We have got solution to the said problem as below(Without increasing the base quantity of header)...
1)Create new unit of measure say TP
2)Maintain it as alternate unit of measure with conversion as 1000TP=1042PC in material master of that component
3)Maintain the quantity in BOM as 0.01TP
4)Make plan entry for header level say for 50000
5)After MRP run , procurement proposal for component as 521PC(Previously it was 550PC because restriction of 3 decimal point, in BOM rounded with 0.01042 =0.011PC)
6)After MFBF, material consumption is also found ok

RWBE and changing Alternative Units of Measure

Hi
I'm trying to use RWBE to view the stock holding of multiple materials. I want to change the base unit from Ea's to TON's for all the materials in the list however it seems that I can only do this one at a time for each material in the list. If I change the list display to the "Tree Structure" I get an ABAP dump when attempting to convert all the items at the same time.
Can this be done using RWBE or is there an alternative report which can be used.
Thanks in advance
FYI- MMBE is not an option since I need to view materials u201Cen massu201D

Hi,
To Check the available unit of measures or to create below gfiven the Path

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.

BOM Explosion report

Hi All,
I have problem with BOM explosion report CS12.
We have material with 3 level BOM. While we are running CS12, upto 2nd level appears in the report. 3 rd level components dose'nt show. what may be the reason. I have checked validity period & BOM status is active for all levels.
REgards,
Srijit.

HI
Check the explosion types in OS17 also check whether phantom asseblies indicator in OS17.
Check In BOM for whether you have defined some material as Phantom or not?
Check and revert
