Alternative Unit of WEIGHT in Sales Order

Hi
We have shared materials across UK and US. Materials are set up with a weight in KG (Please don't confuse this with Unit of Measure, I know we can have alterntatives of these).
With materials set up with a weight in KGs in Basic Data 1, then the weight in the sales order, delivery etc also shows in KGs, irrespective of what Unit of measure we use, e.g. we can place the order in KGs, PC, Drums or even LBs... but the weight is always KGs.
It seems strange we cannot have some sort of SOrg setting to say to work in Lbs or something similar.
Does anyone have any suggestions which might help?
Thanks
Lee

Hi
Use the sales unit of measure field in the material master. It is there in the basic data 1 tab.
This can be different with the UOM of the material
So, when u create a sales order,system picks the sales unit of measure.

Incorrect Net and Gross Weights in Sales Order

Hi All,
I have a problem with weights in sales orders. The Sales Order Qty is 8,725 KG but the Net and Gross Weight is calculated as 7,634.375 KG. Below are the details of my data/config.
Material Master Data
Base UOM in: KG
Net Weight: 0
Gross Weight: 0
Gross Weight UOM: KG
VOV7 Configuration
Item Category TAC: Weight/Vol is checked
Item is a configurable material. For non configurable materials we have the Net and Gross Weight entered in the Material Master but for configurable material the Net and Gross Weights are zero. Are these values calculated by VC? If yes, What do you think would be the problem in this case? Any help would be appreciated.

How can i change unit of measurement in sales order on header

Dear all,
I have material master with base unit of measurement " Ea ".
I have to take unit Pc in sales order.
how can i change unit on header in sales order.
i changed unit on line item in sales order by setting in sales unit field in material master.

Hi,
You can very well do it, please do the following steps,
Go to material master and select the Sales Org.1 and 2, here maintain the sales unit PC and
it will ask you for the conversion, so maintain your conversion for PC to EA. Then maintain
the Division, delivery plant, material pricing group and account assignment group(if not maintained) and save it
Now create the sales order for that resp. material, you will find that system will pick up
the sales unit which is maintained in the material master's sales orgnization tab.
For this you need not to change at the header level of sales order
Please check and revert.
Thanks,

Alternative Free Good determination in Sales order

Dear Gurus,
We activated Free Goods determination. We are maintaining condition records in Tcode VBN1. We are creating the condition records using the fields Sales org, Distribution Channel and Sales Office. Condition record specifies the free good material and its quantity for main material with specified quantity. As of now, It is working fine and it is picking up the free good material correctly at Sales order if we create line item for main material.
As per the new requirement, if the free good material is not available in the stock, it should pick up other alternative free good material for the main material. Mean to say, we want to configure free good determination where we will specify two free good materials for one main material, then system will pick up one of the free good materials for main material in Sales order.
Ex: Main material : A
1st Free good material : F1
2nd Free good material : F2
If the stock for F1 free good material is not available then system should pick up F2 free good material automatically.
I have tried to map the another Free good material for main material in the same condition record, but system is not accepting to proceed further.
Kindly suggest what I need to do, what configuration is required. Please provide your valuable inputs.
Thanks
Chandra Mouli

FYI - Neel & Chandra Mouli
Substitution strategy in Material Substitution: Reason (TCode OVRQ ) controls whether product selection should occur automatically in the background or whether the alternative materials should be offered for selection in a dialog box. So, this product selection in the background is performed on the basis of the availability check.
The substitution reasons are entered in the master records for material determination.
Kindly test & share your feedback.

Decimal places in unit of measure in Sales order

Hi,
In the Sales Order application in PCUI, when I create a create an order for customer XYZ, and add product ABC for qty 1 which uses unit of measure PC, the qty is displayed with 3 decimals as 1,000 whereas if I use the unit of measure EA the quantity is displayed without the 3 decimals as 1. I need the unit of measure PC to not have the decimal places like in SAPGUI.
Could anyone help me understand how this can be achieved?
Thank you for help in advance.
Regards,
Priya

To elaborate better.
Again, use Tcode CUNI - Unit of measurement : Initial Screen.
At initial screen, choose TIME from the list (where by default AAAADL- no dimensions is there).
And click on UNIT OF MEASUREMENT button.
In that you will find MON - Month.
There go for details by selecting MON or select MON and press F5 from Key board.
For MON unit maintain following parameter as per your requirement:
-Number of decimal places for number display
Use - This parameter determines the number of decimal places with which this measurement unit is displayed.
-Base ten exponent for floating-point display
Use - This exponent determines how the values for this measurement unit are formatted as floating point numbers.
Examples - If the exponent is 3, the floating point numbers have the format xxx.xxxxE3.
And deselect commercial meas. unit in application parameters section.
I would suggest instead of changing standard settings of MON, you create ZMON in TIME dimension.
Thanks & Regards

Unit of measure in Sales Order

Hi All,
We have maintained base unit of measure as EA. the sales unit is not mentioned and hence system will take EA as sales unit also. We have maintained alternate unit of measure as BOX and a conversion factor for the same wrt EA.
When user enters sales order as 1 BOX we want tha system should convert the same into appropriate qty of EA. Right now the Unit is captured as 1 BOX if enterd as BOX. How to map the conversion of this BOX into EA immediately so that always the order is saved in unit EA.
Regards,
Prashant

Hi,
For this you should use the sales unit and it's conversion of each sales unit = how many no of base units and save this data at master level(MMR sales area data1).
once this mapping will done system will take default measurements of sales units and user can change this to the needed alternate units in the filed of "SU" after order quantity in sales order.

Adjusting the behavior of sales unit of measure on sales order

Hello Everyone,
I have a question regarding adjusting the behavior of sales unit of measure (UOM) on sales order (SO).
We maintain 3 UOM on material master u2013 A, B, C; where A is base UOM and C is sales UOM.
If we change the material on existing sales order in VA02, system also always changes the UOM on SO to C as well because C is sales UOM on material master. Sometimes SO quantities are in A or B UOM and we do not want system to change them to C when material is updated.
We know it is a standard SAP behavior and the question is if it can be adjusted somehow (in configuration or some other way), so system is not changing the UOM on existing SO to sales UOM when material is updated.
PS if we leave sales unit of measure field in material master blank, when material on SO is changed system is still changing the UOM, now to the base UOM A
Thank you!
Alex

ANSWER: According to SAP there is no way to change the behavior without taking the risk of breaking a lot of stuff.

Unit conversion in the sales order

Hi All,
We have got a typical requirement from the user where they need unit conversion at sales order creation level.
The scenario goes as below.
Initially the order quantity will be enetered in terms of pieces and the price will be determined accordingly. Now user wants to have option in the sales order screen, by pressing which the order quantity (unit of measurement) should convert in to number of boxes. Also price they want to redetermine based on the number of boxes.
example: Assume a each box can accomodate 12 pieces.
So initially in the order 24 units of the material are entered and price per piece is 10 USD so the total price will become 240USD.
Now when they press the conversion button in the screen then the number of unit should become 2 and price per quantity should become at box level. i.e 120 per box.
Please let me know whether through available std config is it possible to achieve this or please let me how we can achieve this.
Regards,
Anand

Hi,
In material master sales : sales orgz. 1 >>> maintain sales unit & enter system will popup new window speciefy
e.g
1 box <===> 100 ea.
Now create order and system will determining sales unit, if u want to change it change.
Also see in iteam deteail tab conversion factor is appearing.

Delivery Unit (MVKE-SCMNG) in Sales Order

Dear Experts,
I have a scenario where the field in the Material Master on Sales Org 1 tab > MVKE-SCMNG (Delivery Unit) is used to restrict the Order quantity to be exact multiple of Delivery Unit.
It is already implemented in the scanario. But I want to use the same for other Sales Order Type too. But I could not find any settings which is Sales Order Type Dependent.
Can anybody give some idea?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Would somebody suggest what could be the option for this?
Thanks in advance.

Missing Weight in Sales Order and Invoice

Hi My Friends,
We create first Sales Order then PR created automatically, then we create PO. Only at this time we know the net/gross weight, so we update the PO.
We want this weight appear on the Sales Order and then on the billing document.
Is it possible?
Thanks
R

Weight information should come from material master. If you update the PO it wont reflect in SO.
maintain the weight info in Material Master, Delete the line item created already & check.
Otherwise maintain it manually in sales order

Update Unit Cost Estimate in sales order

Hi,
I want to update the Unit cost estimate in the sales order while saving. The unit cost estimate is coming from the Z-table and it is supposed to update in the sales order in the sales order user exit.
Can you guys please suggest any function module or anything to update it ?
Thanks in advance

Are you asking in VA01/VA02 "while saving ... in the sales order user exit"
- Check [User Exits In Sales Document Processing|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/1c/f62c7dd435d1118b3f0060b03ca329/content.htm], Use USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE or USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT.

Handling Unit assignation to sales order

Hi you all,
I am facing with a problem when trying to create a handling unit assigned to a sales order. I want to have the functionality of transaction HUP32. The problem with this transaction is that it is possible to include only one batch in the handling unit. I want to do this process but creating handling units with more than one batch.
The other option I've tried is to create the handling unit with transaction HU02. This handling unit is created with the batches and material that I want but then I can't assign the handling unit to the sales order item.
When I create the deliveries of this sales orders with handling units assigned, the handling unit is automatically assigned to the delivery. That's the functionality I want to keep.
If anybody could help me I would thank it very much

Multi-level Packaging in Delivery
Before creating the packaging material you have to go to:
IMG-Logistics Execution-Shipping -Packing.
1. Define packaging material types- it can be anything like boxes crates, etc. in this you have to maintain the output determination procedure, output type, plant determination, packaging material category, generate delivery items, number assignment. you can copy from standard also.
2. Then go to _define material group for packaging materials_ - here you maintain the four digit code and the description. Actually, this group is nothing but similar products which require similar packing products. For Ex. Nokia Phones all types they are basically packed first into a polythene bag. So here nokia phones can become a material group for packaging materials and polythene bag can become the packaging material type which can include different sizes and types of polythene bags.
3. _Define Allowed Packaging Materials_ - Here you assign the shipping group for packaging materials to the packaging material type. This is related to your material master data of the packaging material which you create.
Now go to MM01 to create a packaging material. use material type as Packaging material then inside the system will take the item category group as VERP.
Then in the Basic Data1 screen you have the material group for packaging material (MGPM). Select the proper one. Now in the Sales:General/ Plant screen you have to maintain data regarding the packaging. you select the MGPM same as the basic data 1 screen, then select the packaging material type, the allowed pkh weight, allowed pkg volume.
This is important because if the weight of your finished item is 2 KG and in the allowed pkg weight you enter only 1.5 KG, then while you carry out the packing process in delivery, the system will give you error," packaging weight exceeded."
The assignment in the IMG creen for Define allowed packaging materials should be same as u mention in the material master. Then save your material master for packaging material.
VA01 create the order, save it.
VL01N enter shipping point, go to edit - pack- you will face a screen with 2 parts. In the top part you select your packaging material in which you want to pack your finished item, enter the system will assign a number to that material. Now select the Material in the top part and the finished one in the lower part and click on the Icon Pack. Here one thing has to be taken care of.
Suppose if you want to pack only one finished item in one packaging material, then in the lower part of the screen you have a field for partial quantity here you change it to 1. system will prompt quantity changed. now you select the material in the top part and the one in the lower part and click on the PER PART. QTY ICON. In this way the system will pack only one finished item in a single packaging material. Packing is done go back, select the picking and do the PGI. save the delivery and create the invoice.
HANDLING UNITS. (Used for Multi level packing)
Basically handling units come into picture when you want to carry out multi level packing. suppose you want to pack Nokia phone first into a polythene bag, then this polythene bag is again packed in to box. like that. then this box will become a handling unit. For this go to :
IMG - Logistics General - Handling Unit Management - Basics.
First create all your packing materials using MM01 and type as packaging material. Maintain all the assignments in IMG in Logistics General.
In basics you do the same thing as you did in the packing in logistics execution. like you create the packaging material type, then MGPM and their assignment.
Then go to External Identification - and maintain the number ranges for the handling units that you want and assign the same to your packaging material type.
Now that you have done everything, create the order, save it, in VL01N, enter shipping point, go to edit - pack - do the same thing as i have told you in the step no. 6 (above). now after doing select the PACK HUs TAB . NOW IN THIS SCREEN IN THE TOP PART YOU WILL SEE THE ALREADY PACKED MATERIAL. In that same part again select your next packaging material that is BOX. enter the system will assign the number to the BOX.
Now select the material which you have just entered and the materials which were already packed in the lower part of the screen and click on the ICON PACK.
In the same way again in the top part of the screen you select your next level packaging material and press enter. the system will assign a number to it. now select the material you have just entered and the previously packed material in the lower part of the screen and click on the icon PACK.
In this way you can carry out multilevel packing. just take care of the allowed packing weight and the number of units you have to pack in the next packaging material.

Anbu

Handling Unit Number against each PO Number/Sales Order

Dear All,
I have a query regarding identification of Handling Unit/s Number/s (Handling Unit Management) against each PO Number in Sales Order. E.g. I created 2 Sales Order with 5 and 7 line items respectively. Now I combine them into one Delivery which becomes as 12 Line items. Now against each PO Number/Sales Order line items I have done multilevel packing, similarly I have done this for 2nd PO Number/Sales Order line items while creating Outbound Delivery.
As per my client's requirement, he wants to print the Handling Unit Number as per Sales Order PO Number. I have checked VEKP and VEPO where I am not able to segregate the Handling Unit Number against each Sales Order/PO Number. Please find below Screen Shot.
Please help me out.
Regards:
Abhishek

Hello,
I'm not sure to understand completely your requirement.
Anyway in VBFA you should have the complete flow of the documents:
enter in VBFA with
"Follow-on doc." (VBELN) = your HU number
"Subs.doc.categ." (VBTYP_N) = 'X - Handling unit
"Prec.doc.categ." (VBTYP_V) = 'J - Delivery"
In this way for each Handling Unit you'll get the delivery number and item, and from that you can branch to the corresponding Sales Order item number and get the customer's PO number.
On top of that, in table VEPO you have the reference to Delivery number and item. The only thing you need is one more step using VBFA again, to get from the delivery and item numer, the corresponding Sales Order number and item.
Best regards,
Andrea
