Unit of Measure BOX not defined in language DE

Hi Experts,
We have a Unit of measure BOX, it is used in a Purchase Requisition.
When converting this PR to PO the vendor entered has the language German(DE) and system throws out an error message mentioned in the subject.
I have checked in SPRO under UOM settings and found that this has been maintained for all the languages the path I have checked is SPRO --> SAP NetWeaver -->General Settings --> Check Units of Measurement --> ISO Units --> Select the UOM (BOX) and then in Menu options (Goto --> Translation).
Can anyone help me out what can be the other possible reasons.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards
Lucky.

Dear Lucky,
Normally this issue happens because a missing entry for unit in transaction CUNI.
To maintain this, enter the transaction: CUNI
   Click "Unit of Measurement" and maintain the following as below.
Unit           : XX
Commercial     : XX
Technical      : XX
Meas.unit text : Activ.unit
Please review SAP Note No.[15430|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/15430]

Base unit of measure

Dear Expert
my query is whenever i add new base unit of measure what are the effect it had on the system , i mean how base unit effect in the back end ...how system process base unit of measurement .
Regards

Dear usmfarhan
Actually Base unit of Measurement is the UoM which u want to maintiain ur inventory in the system.
i.e whater u r buying it from vendor ...it might be in Ea or Box or Carton
And you want to store in KG
So you can have Additional unit of Measurement and its conversion that can be defined in AMterial master in additional unit of measurement
Let us say Base UoM is KG and ur Ordering unit is TON
So u have to define Conversion rule as 1 Ton = 1000 KG in material master.
,While changing Base unit of measurement you should make sure that stock should not be there.
Secondly neither Purchase order for Raw material not Sales order for FG should exist in the system ,Neitehr routing should exist for FG
Or else system will not allow u to change UoM

Base Unit of Measure to Sales Unit Conversion

Hi,
Currently we are selling material in MT and all other transactions in MM and Production are in MT only.
Now client wants material to be sold in Meters, also in some cases the same material will be sold in MT also.
(As per my knowledge generally if the conversion is one to one i.e. base unit of measure is pieces and Sales unit of measure will be boxes and
1 box = 10 pieces can be maintained in material master.)
Here for conversion between Metric tonne to Meters there is formula involved so how and where this conversion needs to maintained in system.
How to map this type of scenario.
What all activities needs to be done from SD side and which other modules need to be involved this process.
Note: SAP is installed for more than 3 years now.
Hope i clear enough.
Regards,

Hi following is the formula.
OD = Outer diameter, thickness, length, Number of tubes are maintained in sales order charateristics during sales order creation.
OD
Thickness
Weight in Kgs / M
length of tube
Nos of tubes
Total length in Mtrs
Rate / MT
Rate / Mtr
A
X = (A-B)*B*0.02456
'L
N
T= L xN/1000
R
M=R/1000*X

Changes in Base Unit of Measure

Hi,
We got an issue,User tried to change the Base unit of Measure from NO to KG.
1.For this material we dont have stock in unrestricted and quality,But it has reservations. 2.It has got Scheduling agreement,3.This material is used In BOM.
So if i cancel reservations,then remove this item from scheduling agreement and delete it from BOM.Will it work further to change the Base Unit of Measure.
Please Do help me in this matter
Thanks and Regards

1) You can only change the base units of measure under the following circumstances
No stocks are available for the material.
There are no existing purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.
At present, no purchase orders or purchase order items are being created or changed.
Item is not linked in any BOM as chield part
If requests for quotations, purchasing info records, or contracts are available for a material, the system emits a warning while changing base unit of measure. Still if you want to change unit of measure specify in a dialog box the factor for converting the base unit of measure into the new base unit of measure. The purchasing info records are then, if necessary, updated.
2) Solution
   As system is not allowing changing base unit of measure there will be either stock of this material or existing purchase document
1) If there are stocks in the previous period, you can clear them as follows:
a) Post the stock in the previous period to the current period (for example, using movement type 561) so that the stock for the previous period is the same as the stock for the current period.
b) Clear the stock with the posting date in the previous period (for example, using movement type 562).
2) If there are Open purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.complete all P2P cycle for open orders (purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements) and then close it.
3)Delete item from BOM
Then
1.     Run Trnx MM02 (Change Material Master immediately.
2.     Overwrite the old base unit of measure with the new one in basic data screen.
3.     Save the change.
3) System checks
If a change criterion (Trnx. code MM02) is meeting all necessary prerequisites (as mentioned in point 1).System allows changing base unit of measure. Otherwise it displays warning or error. U can display the reason for this, by choosing Display Errors (ctrl+F1)

Follow up material with different base unit of measure

Hi all,
I have the BOM with material Mat1 as a component. The base unit of measure of Mat1 is KG.
Is it possible to replace Mat1 with Mat 2 material in MRP once the Mat1 warehouse stock is depleted.
The base unit of measure of Mat 2 is KGK.
The required quantity of MAT1 should be recalculated from KG to KGK accordanly unit ratio.
Please, expain, where does it maintain?
Thanks,
Peter

Hello Peter,
You can use follow-up setting (set Mat2 as follow-up of Mat1 in MRP 4 view of material master if this follow-up scenario is valid for all BOM) with discontinuation indicator '1', w/o effective-out date. In this case Mat1's stock will run out (no PldOrd, PR, etc) will be created, and from the date, when Mat1's stock runs out, MRP will calculate with Mat2.
As I told you, according to my best knowledge, you cannot realize this with different base unit of measures. (you have to change the buom of one of the related material masters or create a new material master if you cannot cope with buom-change).
Follow-up group scenario can also be used but I guess different buoms will be a problem in that case as well.
Maybe there are better solution but I'm not aware of it...

Base unit of measurement while saving production order

Hi
While saving production order I am getting following problems:
"Material has no base unit of measure"
Whereas UOM is there, I also can see that as soon as I enter qty while creating the order. System automatically prompts the UOM.
I also donot find any problem in MRP run, planned order creation etc
So what can be the problem?
Edited by: BNR on Nov 24, 2008 5:22 AM

Dear,
It may be data base problem as you are getting this problem fequently so please check with Basis person.
Have you defined the any production unit in both material master WS view & in routing or any other alternative unit of measurement please check?

Base Unit Of Measurement error

Dear Sir \ Mam,
Our some materials base unit of measurement is in KG, and we want to make bills, excise RG1 entry in KG for milligram sales or material transfer. How to go for such transaction, system is not allowing for such transactions.
Pls Note : We can't create two separate materials code for these UOM issue materials.
Requesting a help.
Regards,
Randhir Padwal

Hi,
As per my understanding you have base unit in KG and you want to material issue and sales in miligram unit. If this is requirement then you may try to assign "sales unit" for material master in "sales:sales org1" view. you have to also give the conversion rate from KG to miligram in additional data.
for issuing you have to maintain issue unit "miligram" in material master view "Plant data/stor1"

Material Master MATMAS IDOC and base unit of measurement

Hi
We are using SAP standard material master IDOC type MATMAS05 to trigger IDOC. Our material master is having base unit of measure as "G". We are not using ISO unit of measurement. But Material master IDOC, segment E1MARM is populating base unit of meaurement (MEINS) as "GRM".
Any idea why IDOC is picking ISO unit of measurement instead of material master base unit of measurement.
Any idea how to send base unit of measurememt as "G" instead of "GRM" in DOC segment.
Thanks
Nilesh

There are ISO codes for country keys, currency keys, units of measure and shipping instructions. According to SAP design guidelines, you should use ISO codes for an IDoc if they are available. When you set up the IDoc, the SAP codes have to be replaced by ISO codes.

Changing Base Unit Of Measure in Material Master

Dear All,
We need to change the base unit of measure of certain materials who have been assigned inspection plan. We have deleted the material from Inspection Plan and later even the plan. But still the system not allowing to change the BASE UNIT OF MEASURE. The error thrown by the system is : Material is assigned to inspection Plan.
Please guide in this regard as changing the material for us will be a very cumbersome act.
Regards

Hi Rohan,
Please check 'display errors' in MM02 when you are trying to change the BUoM. It will say what prevents you from doing that.

How to correct CIF error Base unit of measure does not exist?

Dear experts,
I'm trying to cif a location product with base unit of measure KG in R/3 and alternative unit of measure well maintained.
it gives me a CIF queue saying that
"Base unit of measure ZXX does not exist (Product 0000000000000XXXXXX has not been created)"
I do not understand why, the unit ZXX does not exist in the alternative unit of measure for any of the materials managed
I also checked CUNI table and ZXX is not there neither in R/3 or APO,
Thanks for your help
E

Looks like the Alternate UOM --Zxx is not maintained in APO.
2 ways to do this:
(1) program- RSIMPCUST
Re transfer all your UOM settings from R3 to APO
(2) Manual Maintenance in APO:
SPRO>SAP NETWEAVER>GENERAL SETTIGNS>Check UNits of Measurement
Thanks

Please maintain the translation in the Following Configuration
Logistics - General->Material Master->Configuring the Material Master->Define Structure of Data Screens for Each Screen Sequence
Select the Specific Screen Sequence & Maintain the languages
Similarly please maintain the Translations in the Transaction CUNI for the Base UOM in respective languages

Base unit of measure can not be changed since EAN is already assigned.

Hi,
We would like to change the UOM from EA to SET .In order to tag MM # as BOM Header and ZCEN (Serial number profile)but the error massage appears as below print screensystem is not allowing to do so ,throwing following error message:
"Base unit of measure can not be changed since EAN is already assigned."
Could you help to resolve the same.
Thanks,
Amit

Hi,
Thats correct you must be getting Error message M3 341 ,
EAN international article number is tied with material number in basic data view with EAN Category and seperate number range
EAN is a standardized unit that uniquely identifies a material relating to a unit of measure or type of packaging.
The International Article Number (EAN) is assigned by the manufacturer of the material. In this case, the EAN identifies the
manufacturer uniquely. A company can assign EANs using "in-store" numbering techniques known only to the company.
If you still want to change UOM you need to first remove the EAN assigned..please explore further if you have internal number range
for EAN or external ..etc
Thanks

K.Muthukamatchi

Hi
My requirement is: The item category N should allow me to use alternate UOM.
When i checked with Item category L, the system allows me to use alternate UOM. I need the same to work for Itm category N also.
Through forums, i found that, in standard SAP, system will not allow to use alternate UOM for Item catedory N.
Is there any config settings to be done for my requirement?
Kindly do the needful.
Thanks & Regards,
