Alternative unit of measure issue in PP in Food industry

Hi,
I want clarification regarding alternative units
here sales order unit is master cartons,,
production people will produce in pieces,,
we are applying 40 strategy here,,,,
so based on master cartons,,MRP will give planned orders in master cartons i think,, when we convert it into process order it should be in pieces. (can we get this by entering prod unit---PC,,,in work scheduling view)
i want to enter Yield in pieces in confirmation field,,, and i want to do GR in master cartons ...
is it possible to maintain production order qty in one unit and GR in other unit?
plz suggest me...

production order qty in one unit and GR in other unit?
Not possible
create a BUOM as carton for the material
and Production unit as PC
when you do GR system will take in PC
But when u see in MMBE or MB52 system will show in Carton only

  • Issue in Alternative unit of measure (MARM) update using MM17

    Hi,
    I have tried to update alternative unit of measure (MARM) for some materials using MM17.
    It is working for some unit of measures (Like FT).
    But if I try to changes the unit of Measure value for PLB (Counter & Denominator) or DLB it is changing for UNC, if UNC unit of measure is not there for that material then the UNC is getting created.
    But according to MM17 functionality I think PLB values should change.
    Please check and let me, if you have any solution or any one faced the same issue.
    Thanks

    Hi Sham,
    Your problem could be caused by wrongly assigned ISO codes to the  unit of measures involved. Most probably to these unit of measures   the same ISO code is assigned. This leads then to problems in the ALE interface of the material master, which is used too by the mass maintenance transaction MM17.
    There only the ISO-code is given  and then the System doesn't know the correct unit of measure, which     
    should be used. So it is possible, that the change is done for a  wrong unit of measure.
    Please check for this your customizing in transaction CUNI.

  • 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.
    Experts pl guide if i am wrong anywhere

  • No alternative unit of measure specified

    Hi,
    We are encountering no alternative unit of measure specified upon confirming the process order in COR6. What might be the problem. The base unit of measure is properly maintained in MM. Base unit of measure is Btl and the unit of issue is case.
    Hope you could help us.
    Thanks

    Hi
    In the confirmation screen, in the yeild  unit field is there. open the field there and check whether you units are displayed there or not. If they are not defined there then open the table and update your units there

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

    Hi  Will
    Unit of measure at item level is in
    Segment --> E1EDP01 : IDoc: Document Item General Data
    Field -->  MENEE : Unit of measure
    Do you want to convert the Unit of measure in outbound idoc?
    Use conversion rules for this...
    or
    do  you want send  Unit of measure  and secondary unit of measure ??
    extend the idoc type and write user exit to populate date in extended segment...

  • 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.

  • Alternative unit of Measure for variant material

    Dear All,
    Here is an interesting scenario,
    There is a naterial Billet with two variant characteristics length and size. and base unit of measure is TON. Now alternative unit of measure is PCS.  How can define the conversion factor on the basis of these two variant characteristics.
    In normal material (without variant char.)
    we can define conversion factor 1PCS= 2TON
    For variant material,
    For the material Billet with variant charc length and size how can i define conversion
    so that system calculates diff. PCS with diff. length and size but material is same. So how can i Do that.
    for example for same material Billet but variant char. Length is 6 M and size is 120*120 ,its wt will be 2 TON for 1 PCS.
    for the same material Billet with variant char. length 12 M and size 120*120, its wt will be 12TON for 1 PCS.
    How can i cater this for the same material.

    Hi Shoaib,
    We have faced the similar scenario for steel industry. Based on my experience, it is not possible to define variable values for Alternative UOM conversion with the variant characteristic/configuration, specially if you want SAP to maintain inventory with variable conversion rate.
    Use the Batch specific unit of measure for this situation.
    1) Create batch specific UOM i.e. Ton_per_pc (TOP) --- User proportional unit conversion
    2) Create batch characteristic ton_per_pc and assigned UOm.
    3) In material master additonal data select proportion unit and enter the standard conversion rate between ton & pcs.
    4) While doing GR - In batch creation you can enter whatever the conversion rate is and Inventory will be updated accordingly.
    Regards,
    Ravi.
