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

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.

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.

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,

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

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.

Sales unit V/s Base unit :Urgent

Hi
In varrint configuration i have manitained configurable material as Pc.
Now once i run sales order system says :
"conversion rule of Pc and Ea should be maintain in system' because sales unit is maintained as EA. in line item condition tab.
So its my kind reply
where shoud i do this changes
plz reply ASAP
regards;
Mk

Hi mahesh
In your scenario it is like you have maintained both base unit of measure and sales unit as PC only
So when you are cerating VA01 , system is asking for ea.
go to material master record - > basic data 1-> additional data-> click on unit of measure tab and enter alternative Unit of measure (UoM) as many combinations as you wish For example
1pac - 10pcs
1car - 5pcs
1pc - 1ea (in your case )

Sales unit in Profitability analysis

Hi All
I have a sales quantity value field in my operating concern. But I am ambiguous about "sales unit" (Each/ KG). Is that a charecteristic?. And does it come standard or Do I have to create one?...Please throw some light on how this sales unit (each/ KG) works?.
Also How do we plan sales quanity, does SAP always takes base unit of measure as sales unit when you are planning
Thanks in advance

The qty is a "special" characteristic, that is tied up with the value field for qty. Each quantity VF will have its own qty unit.
You don't need to do anything, it happens automagically.
And SAP will use the unit that you enter when you plan. As long as there is a conversion to BUoM.

Error in units of measurement conversion "BOM"

hello gurus gudmorning everybody
i have problem in project regarding the units   of measurement conversion BOM
this is the scenario: 1000 ft2( BASE UNIT MEASUREMENT) = 1ea (    SALES UNIT) ( 2bed room flat) it is a higher level item
sub items are in EA base unit measurement ex: like one sofa one air conditioner etc instead of taking sale unit measurement of higher level item , its taking base unit mesurement of higher level item , .i.e instead of taking 1EA 2bhk = 1AC, 1 SOFA,   but is calculating 1000ft2( 2bhk)   = 1000ac, 1000sofa , plz help out to rectify the conversion
thank you in advance
venkat

Dear Venkat,
Try with this
Please maintain the alternative unit of measure in sub itemes master data at Additional tab like this
in AC master data 1EA = 1AC and 1AC = 1EA 2BHK
in Sofa master data 1EA = 1 Sofa and 1Sofa = 1EA 2BHK
Now you try
I hope this will help you,

Sales Unit to Base unit validation in Pricing

Hi
I have a material that has base unit in EA and sales unit is CS. The pricing scenario that I am trying to accomplish is that I would like to apply a split case surcharge of 1 USD per EA for the material sold anything outside of a Case. But here is what happens.
Case 1: If I order 1 CS, no Surcharge appears, which is fine.
Case 2: If I order 1 EA, surcharge appears, which is fine.
Case 3: If I order 10 EA, surcharge of 10 USD appears. Here I would like to see no Surcharge because 10 EA makes 1 CS.
Case 4: If I order 12 EA, surcharge of 12 USD appears. Here I would like to see a surcharge of 2 USD as 10 EA makes up a case which leaves us with only 2 EA loose.
I have tried this using a simple routine but I would like to explore if this can be done using standard SAP pricing. Please advice
Thanks

Hi,
Did you maintianed the relationship between the EA=CS in additiona data in material master.
Here is how you do it, of you go to material master (MM02) you will see an button of additional data, once you go there you will find tabe, one of them is unit of measure.
Maintain the numerical conversion of how may EA= CS here,
Hope this solves,
Thanks,

Unit of measure conversion

Hello All
could you please explain me how unit of measure ( sales unit and base UOM) works and their conversions in matrial master and in purchase info record?
My scenario is this
base UOM is pc (piece)
sales unit ( KG)
while creating sales order it is taking as KG .after that PO is created auatomatically for this sales order. PO is also having KG as UOM.
After goods receipt happens and while updating confirmed quantity of schedule line in sales order it is updating in pieces.
eventhough sales unit is KG , why its converting into pieces ( waht is the need)
Points to note are the conversion in material master is 1pc= 1p and 1kg=2pc
thanks for the early reply.

Stock is managed in BUOM, so in case you have a transaction in an alternative UOM, system will convert to BUOM.
It is my opinion, that in cases a material has both non-dimentional UOM, like PC, and (numeric) ISO UOM like KG, it is better to have the ISO UOM as BUOM; the other way around may lead to unwanted rounding issues.

Base and alternate unit of measure

HI,
can anyone please tell me
1) what is base unit of measure and alternate unit of measure.
2) what is the relationship between these two.
i have one program which currently calculates base unit of measure for all the unit costs and now i need to calculate the alternate unit of measure for all the unit cost
I heard that relationship of these two will be found in MARM table but i couldnt find it
Please tell me how do i do achieve it.
Thanks,
Ahmed.

Hi,
BASE UOM is the unit of measure which will be used by business to calculate the weight of the goods or rather the Unit of measure in which stocks of the material are managed.
Say for example I create one bulb. The base UOM is PCE or Piece.
It means that the Bulb will be referred to as 1 Piece irrespective of its weight.
So if in the sales order i put 10 PCE of Bulb it means 10 individual unit of the bulb.
Alternative UOM is the Unit of measure in which quantities can be entered alternatively to the base unit of measure / stockkeeping unit.
Say for example in our cases; we are selling these bulbs in boxes.
I BOX = 10 PCE .
So BOX becomes your alternate UOM.
The relation is maintained in MARM table via the additional view in the Material Master (MM01/ MM02/ MM03 transaction)
The relation 1 : 10 is managed by the UMREN UMREZ fields in MARM.
I hope this is useful for you.

Function module for conversion in basic unit of measure....

Hi,
Can someone give me a function module, which will convert the Unit of measure into basic unit of measure
Say a a material has 3 CA (Cases) in a PO and the conversion factor(UMREZ in table MARAM) for CA for that material is 4 and converison for MP (Master pack) is 12,then
3CA = 9 PC = (9/12) MP
But I want a function module which will do this conversions ?

Hi,
Use MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT

Maintain Multiple Sale Unit of Measure

Dear all,
How can we maintain multiple sale unit of measure for a particular material in single sales area. Meaning different sales orders can have different unit of measure for the same material in the same sales area.
Regards and Thanks,

Check (MM02) Material Master - Additional Data button in menu bar - Unit of Measurement Tab
OR
Scenario: - BP buys ItemA in Kg and sells in Gr. (Refer SAP Note 883504 - Different UoM for the same Item)
1. Define ItemA with kg as the unit of measure in the Purchasing Data tab - and Gr as the sales unit of measure in Sales Data tab. Enter items per purchase unit as 1000 and the items per sales unit as 1.
2. Generate an AP invoice with a quantity of 1, the items per purchase unit is 1000 so 1000 items enter the stock.
3. Generate an AR invoice with a quantity of 1, the items per purchase unit is 1 so the stock of the item is reduced by a quantity of 1 gram.
There is no way to indicate that the stock has been reduced by 1000kg which is equal to 1 gram.
Workaround:
1. Duplicate ItemA as Purchase Item (UoM=Kg) and Sales Item (UoM=Gr) - This means that you will have 2 items, ItemA1 and ItemA2
OR
2. Generate ItemA (both Sales and Purchase Item) by configuring UoM and Price according to the smallest UoM and perform every transaction by keeping this UoM
NB: Do not forget to define UoM in Administration - System Initialization - General Settings - Display tab - Default Weight Unit
Also check following links for understanding:
Price by multiple unit of measure
Re: Multiple UOM's

Basic unit of measure conversion

If one PAC needs to contain 10 units, what should the conversion table look like in the "additional data" screen of MM02?

hi,
If one PAC needs to contain 10 units:
conversion table look like:
X AUN Measurement unit text <= Y BUN measurement unit text
1 PAC Pack <= 10 (ST) Units
and
if for the material you maintained ( BUN) basic unit of measure as ST -- units, then one pacK = 10 units. if you maintained in KG then one pacK = 10 kgs.
hope this may help you,

Srinivas
