Alternative unit of measure in Product View

I'd like to know the mechanism of how to convert the qunatity between base unit and alternative unit in Product View.
Example:
[Assumption]
Material: MAT001, Base Unit=KG, Alternative Unit=PC(1PC = 10KG)
Planned OrderA: MAT001, Quantity=108(KG)
[Process]
1. Open the product view and check the quantity. Quantity of planned orderA is 108KG.
2. Change the unit from base unit(KG) to alternative unit(PC).
3. Check the quantity. Quantity is 11(PC)
On the other hand...
4. Open the Stock/Requirement list(MD04) in ECC and check the quantity. Quantity of planed orderA is 108KG.
5. Change the unit from base unit(KG) to alternative unit(PC).
6. Check the quantity. Quantity is 10.8(PC)
Why quantity of Product View is automatically round up?

Hello Michel,
Thank you for the answer.
Could you let me know more detail about how to check the settings that you mentioned?
Which field of product master should I check?
I checked Units of Measure tab but I couldn't find the rounding-related field...
I also checked conversion setting of /CUNI transaction but settings of both ERP and APO were entirely same.
Do you have any other ideas?

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

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.

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?

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.

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

Alternative units of measure are inconsistent; correct the values in SMW01

Hi,
when material replication process is happening we came across an error in SMW01.It shows
Alternative units of measure are inconsistent; correct the values
Message no. COM_PRODUCT_UNIT014
Consider the below example
we have maintained a material from KG to MM which is not a standard SAP conversion but client requires this conversion as
Tubes (Steel) are mainly ordered in M (Meters) but invoiced by the supplier in KG. Then used in production in KG again. In that case we need a conversion M <-> KG.
This is very common practice even in indirect material (e.g. Oil, you order barrels, tu vendor invoices KG and you handle Liters in your stock
can anyone guide me if there is any BADI or SAP note available for this error.
regards
subbu

Hi,
I have gone through that note it says that the corrections has to be done at BBPCRM component level but i have gone through the system component version i did not find CRM
so how can we apply the note?

Basic Unit of Measure & Alternative Unit of Measure ?

How to configure basic and alternative unit of measure(UOM) for a material ?
If KG - basic UOM
Mtrs - Alternative UOM
Here we procure material (GR, PO) with basic UOM, no prob with this system ill pick basic UOM automatically.
and if we need to make GI with Alternative UOM ?
How to configure the above scenario ?
thankq

Hi,
As you procure material (GR, PO) with basic UOM(KG) and you want to make GI in Mtrs - Alternative UOM.
Go to MM02 , enter your material{( you must have UOM(KG) } and select view of General Plant data/Storage 1 and in unit of issue field enter meter, then system will ask you to enter conversion factor Mtrs to KG. Enter your conversion factor and save.
Now try ur transaction.

LSMW - Alternative Unit of Measurement

Hi,
I'm dealing with something very very strange.
I'm trying to load the Alternative Unit of Measure for materials via a LSMW.
I'm using the Standard Batch / Direct input Method
Object               0020   Material master
Method               0000
Program Name         RMDATIND
Program Type         D   Direct Input
We need to have the conversion L & GAL and KG & LB.
GAL & LB are loaded as first. (This goes in very smoothly). These values are calculated with density.
Afterwards I load L & KG. So I'm using the function DIMENSIONCHECK_CONVERTABLE to calculate the converted versions.
So 90% loads like this, without any problem. But 10% of it goes wrong... When I check try to load this manually with exactly the same number I calculated, I can save the material without any issue. When I'm using the Job I get following issue: The alternative units of measure are inconsistent.
How is this possible? And how can I solve this issue without doing it manually?
Thanks!

Hi Prasad
In the Material Master - Sales org.1 view you have a field called Sales Unit.
there you give the desired UOM and press Enter then you will get a pop up for Conv.factors:Unit of measure, here you have to give the Conversion of the Material UOM to Sales UOM.
Ex. Material Measure is PC and Sales Measure is BOX
You need to specify How many peacies will BOX consist of
like 10 PC = 1 BOX like that you have to give in the Popup

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
