Alternative Unit of Measurement Problem

Dear Gurus,
My problem is once I activate altyernative UOM in material master, while issuing materials it is accepting any UOM along with the UOM which is mentioned .
For example my Base unit of measure is TO and my alternative UOM is FT3 . But while i am issuing material using HL or CD3 it is accepting and post the entry without any message.
Kindly help me out to restrict alternative UOM which i am defined in Material Master.
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Soumen

I am not getting what u are saying. We are using ECC 6.0.
In bottom left under conversion block
Numerator
Denominator
Exponent
Additive Constant
Decimal Pl rounding
Unit of meas family
And one more block Convert unit of measuremnt
Value entry                        1.00 TO
Conversion to target unit    1000.00000 KG
Conversion to SI unit          1000.00000 KG
Apart from this anything is ther kindly describe me the path how to find out.

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

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
sham.

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.

Stock in alternative unit of measure

Hi experts,
I have problem regarding tools stock, I want to see stock of such material in alternative unit of measure in transaction MB52. Is there any settings for such option in MB52?
Regards,
Rakesh

you can see the stock in alternative unit in MMBE, for one material only.
SAP cannot expect that all materials listed with Mb52 are having same base unit and same alternative unit, only in this case it would make some sense, for all other cases it would just make trouble. So it is not provided.

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

Unit of measurement problem

Hi,
A material has its base unit as "Number" & additional unit as "KG" while creating PR it takes only NO not KG and same follows in PO. How can that be solved?

Hello
It will take NO while creating the PR even if you change in Material master purchasing view. i.e. Ordering unit as KG and also in info record. while creating the PO, the unit will be changed to KG based on conversion factor. After Gr, the system will show the stock in NO as NO is base unit of measure. (stock keeping unit).
If you want to change the base unit of measure, then please refer the following poitns :
As per the SAP standard functionality , We want to change the base unit of measure (base unit). for material master, 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
Other alternative solution in case of Urgency:
Creation of a new material master similar to the current material and using the new code for further usage.

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.

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.

Ravi.

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?
tjanks
Tuff

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.

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?

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
