Base unit of measure issue during CIF

Hello,
we have one APO system which is connected to two R/3 systems (System A and System B).
Actually one product number was coming years ago from System A with base unit of measure EA.
We now need to add the same product number (with a different Business system group) via CIF coming from system B, but the source base unit of measure is ST.
CIF interface stops with error "Error Text: Base unit of measure for product xxx" ....
So actually I am looking for a way to add product xxx to the integration model in System B and transfer data to the APO system without removing the products and all linked master and transaction data from APO and creating new data.
Maybe there is a workaround ...
Thanks for any ideas and thoughts.
Kind regards,
Andrea

Andrea
One way is to add ST as alternate unit of measure in APO product master . This is because you cannot change the base unit of measure in APO without deleting all the dependent objects.
After that you will be able to CIF over the data . But then you have to remember one thing . Whenever you change the material master for this material in R/3 and CIF it over , the alternate UOM ST will get wiped out in APO and you have to maintain it manually.
Thanks

Base Unit of Measure issue

Hi Experts,
As per the scenario, my client is manufacturing a rod whose std length is 6m. But, he is selling it in other sizes also like 4.3, 5.5 so on. So, the price should be get calculated on length & no of pieces.
As, per my understanding I had put base unit of measure as meter & sales unit as ea. Conversion rate has been maintained as 1ea=6meter. But, then as he is selling it in different sizes also. How to calculate price in such condition. Please throw some light on it.
Regards,
Prashant

hi
i am not expert
based on b knowledge
when you fix the unit of measure 1ea=6m , based on this system will pick the quantity , you raise the sale order for each then system will take meters like 1ea=6m,
you requirement it 4.3.5.5 m , so you can change the unit of measure for particular material , like 1m =1m , then system will take correct quantity , and based on this system will take price , your pricing is manual or automatic , when manual no problem , automatic you maintain , quantity based price ,
you can change the unit of measure for material at mm02 , at additional data, you can maintain
please try this

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

Changing Base Unit Of Measure (Material Master)

Hi
1. How to check this? (Any successful changes in material master only took place when there is no open document from SD, PP, MM & FI for that material. )
2. Base unit of measurement cannot be changed. The reason being material movement history is there in table - MSEG mainly which otherwise create inconsistency in reporting. -
Is this line applicable for current period or previous period in current year or previous period previous year???
3. There are no existing purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material. -
is this means open / pending purchase orders or the the PO's created in system with respect to material where the GR and IR is already done
4. You can change the base unit of measure if there is no stock of the material during current and previous period----
is this means the term " previous preiod" is previous period in the current finacial year   or its applicable for the previous preiod in previous financial year
5. Post the stock in the previous period to the current period - -
how can we do this???
Vijay

See this OSS note : especially the last sentence:
From OSS note 138767
Within the material master record maintenance, you want to change the base unit of measure (base unit). 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.
Solution
If necessary, all reasons mentioned above must be eliminated by archiving the objects listed
1) SAP checks this for you. A new button will appear in MM02 and after you click this button to check the error log, you will see which documents exist.
2) I have not seen that an existing movement will restrict the change of a BUoM.
3) No purchase requisitions, purchase orders or scheduling agreements must exist for which the deletion indicator is not set
       it is not caring about GR done or IR done. it telling you that the deletion indicator has to be active. As a deletion indicator can be reset easily, you probably have to archive the documents
4) the previous period is the period before the current period.
   today we have February, hence the previous period is January.
5) first make sure your current stock is higher than the stock of the previous period. if it is lower, then you have to create inventory in current period first e.g. with 202 movement with current date.
Then you issue the previous period stock with 201 movement and previous period date (make sure periods are open in OB52 and MMRV allows posting to previous period).
Finally you issue the left stock in the current period with 201 and current date.
Now previous period and current period stock is zero. After the change of the base unit you have to get the stock back into the system

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"

Item category N: Only base unit of measure EA allowed,Message no. CO344

Dear all
I am facing the following issue,
Item category N: Only base unit of measure EA allowed
Message no. CO344
Diagnosis
You have entered a unit of measure for a component of the item category N which does not correspond to the base unit of measure maintained in the material master record.
Procedure
Use the base unit of measure maintained in the material master record.
Please give the solution for how do handle that issue.
Thanks&Regards
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,

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.

Base Unit of Measure - Day & Hours

Hi All,
We are facing a unique problem. We created a material with Base Unit of Measure as "DAY". At the time of MIGO, the FI Document also got posted with Quanity 5.00 and Base Unit of Measure as "DAY".
However, when we go to the Report Painter Reports in Controlling and see the Quantity; we see 120.00 Hours rather than 5.00 Days and we are unable to figure out because of which settings, system is behaving like this.
We checked the configuration of Unit of Measure through T. Code CUNI and found everything OK.
Kindly request you to throw some light on this.
Thanks,
Shalin

i day = 24hrs, system has calculated the 5days and converted into 120hrs.
please check the Order unit used in PO
also check the stock keeping unit/issue unit in master
also check the info record

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)

Unit of measure issue in BOM

For a component Unit Of Measure issue is maintained as "KG". In BOM "Unit of measure" is mainatined a s"G". I have to pull a report for a list of meterials and if the unit of measure mainatined in material master does not match with the unit of measure in BOM , qty needs to be converted to Base Unit of measure. Where i will
find the conversion maintained in SAP.

Base unit of measure is different from Idoc to purchase order toSAP System.

Hi Gurs,
vendor send a purchase order for confirmation through EDI, the base unit of measure in the Idoc is PA( Parcel). For this same material the unit of measure in R/3 system is PC.( Piece). I got a error on this.I checked in CUNI, In Unit of measurement ST (PC) is already assigned to unit PCE in EDI. But i dont want to change the Conversion.I need this also and I want to create a new conversion ST(PC) is assign to PA( Parcel).
Please help in this.
Is it possible to maitainthe ISO-code PA into table Units of Measurement of Dimension?
Edited by: Vadivel Karalam on Nov 1, 2010 1:13 PM

Hi,
You are getting the error because as part of the std ( For ALE/EDI) the unit of measurement that is maintained is PC whereas if you look at another unit of measure that you have mentioned, the std doesn't define anything under the ALE/EDI setup.
Because of that all the conversions are coming with PC. So pls goto general settings and check unit of measure menu. There for each of your units, there is a section for ALE/EDI, set up the relevant UoM and the issue should get resolved.
Hope it helps.

Can we change Base unit of Measure ?

Hello,
I got a requirement to change the name TO(tonne) base unit of measure in MM01 into MT. Is it possible to achieve this if ys share me the procedure.
In short when i click F4 help in base unit of measure in the place of TO i want to change it into MT.
Thks

If u want to change the base unit of measure... firstly do the conversion method... MM02 (If the material is a finished or semi finished) -> Work Scheduling View -> Put the UNIT OF ISSUE (MT) and then give the conversion factor unit measure.... and save...
if u want to change the base unit of measure... Change the MRP PRofile and then change the Base Unit of Measure...
It is better to consult PP and MM Consultant....
I think you got the solution... Give me the point....
