Base unit to change in material master

we assigned base unit of measurement to one of our material code say KM and after that we created routing .When we come to know that base unit is wrong and instead of KM base unit required was KG then we delete routing for the material.After that when i tried to change base unit of meas. in mat master system is giving me error
Routings already exist that are assigned to the material.
   RType RtgGrp   GpC Plant
   N     50013509 1   UHVC
I want to know how it is possible?
Is there anything remain?

If SAP tells you that you have routing, and even shows which one, then oyu have not really deleted it.
BOM Deletion - Transaction CS02, open the BOM header view and select menu "Material BOM > Delete.
Routing Deletion - Transaction CA02, select the routing overview button and select the routing line to be deleted, press the deletion button.

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.

PuP price not changed in Material master

Hello All experts
I have one question about the material ledger related transaciton, I have a Material with 2+V (price deter. and price control) setting in Material master data in Accounting 1 TAB. And material ledger is active for this material, the Periodic Unit price is 1 USD in current period and stock is 0.
One PO posted for this Material for purchase with actual price 100 USD, and 101 movement type with special stock indicator E was used in Goods receipt posting. I think these stock will be treated as valuated sales order stock. But GR posting didn't trigger any PuP price change in Material master. Is that situation normal? Pls kindly help.

With price control V in activity-based material price determination (indicator2 in the material master), the moving average price is calculated. With price control S, the material is valuated with the standard price and the moving average price is calculated for information purposes.
In single-/multi-level material price determination(indicator 3 in the material master), the valuation price (standard price) remains unchanged and a periodic unit price is calculated for the closed period.
This option is only for materials with price control indicator S,and is only recommended if in addition to multiple currencies and/or valuations, you use single-/multi-level material price determination.
In single-/multi-level material price determination, a periodic unit price is updated for information, but it can only be used for material valuation in the closed period.

Changes in Material Master leading to issues in MRP

Hi,
For a particular material a user changed a lot of material master data (MRP1 and MRP2 view) within a couple of hours.
As a result MRP is not working as we would expect:
- some orders have no quantity in the "Available quantity" column in MD04 and as a result do not trigger any PO (Received/Required quantity = -1, but Av qty = blank)
- whenever a shipment is foreseen it is consumed/reserved by/for the order which requested delivery date is closest after that shipment date
These are the changes made to the master data in November 2009:
Planning Strategy Group: from Make-To-Stock Production to No Planning to Strategy Group for Spares & Consumables to No Planning to Strategy Group for Spares & Consumables
MRP Group: from Client Specific MRP Group for Period Mgmt to General to External Procurement to Client Specific MRP Group for Period Mgmt to General to Client Specific MRP Group for Period Mgmt
Availabilty Check: from Indiv. Req. to Indiv. Req w/o PO. to Indiv. Req.
Unplanned Consumption in period: from blank to 11.2009
Fwd Consumption Period: from 0 to 999 to 0
Consumption Mode: from blank to Forward Consumption Only to blank
Unchanged MRP material master data:
Bwd Consumption Period: 0
MRP type: MRP
Planning Time Fence: 1
Lot size: WB (weekly lot size)
Procurement type: External Procurement
Backflush: always backflush
What should we do to have MRP work correctly again for this material?
Changes to material master MRP? Delete all schedule lines and start from scratch in SOs?
All help is much appreciated!
Best regards,

Not able to transfer changes in material master (periodic)

Hi Friends,
Got an issue here. I am not able to transfer the changes I made in material master. I want this as periodic, Made the specific setting in CFC9. And for your information 'Activate ALE Change Pointers Generally' and for massege type are activated.
But when I execute CFP1 I got massege: 'No appropriate master data changes: Transfer has not happen'.
I made changes in material master (global level),..like gross weight changed. Material is in active IM, no duplication.
Any help Please? We are on SCM 7.0.
Thanks,
Satyajit

OK, Guys I think I need to raise an OOS... It was for SCM 7.0, but was basic config....thts why I edited the thread so many times expecting some responce.
Edited by: Satyajit Patra on Mar 22, 2010 7:41 AM

Hi Satyajit,
Please look at OSS Note 1069560 - Data inconsistencies: Activating integration. models in parallel, if this helps you.
Since Gross data of material is in the basic view, it is common across plants , whereas, IMs are normally designed to have material masters at plant level.
We may have same material in different IMs with different plants. Therefore changes of the basic view fields are then contained in multiple IMs. SAP advises to have a larger IM or sequential activation of IMs.
I hope this will help you .

Error message during Base unit change in material master

Hi
I am getting error message " Independent requirements are already assigned to the
material" when doing change in base unit in material master.
But I do not find any independent requiement for the plant in t code MD04.
Can anybody help me to get a solution for this?
Thanks in advance
Pradipta Sahoo

Hi
Thaks for your reply.
I checked in MD63 and don't find any entry. That makes me suprprise why the error shows as an independent requirement entry exists.
Please reply if you can further help me in this matter to solve this.

Update info record when changing units of measure in material master

Hello,
is there any possibility for an automatic change of info record when changing conversion factors in the material master ?
We have 3 units of measure in our material master: the base unit and 2 alternative units. The first alternative unit is the order unit and the second alternative unit is the order price unit. So in our purchase info records we maintain an order unit, which differs from the base unit and we also maintain an order price unit, which differs from the base unit and the order unit.
If we now change the conversion factors between the units in the material master, we would like to get an automatic change of the converions in the info record (to order unit and order price unit), which have the same previous conversions.
For IS R it seems to be implemented (see OSS-Note 975954).
Is there any solution for a "normal" industry system ?
Thanks for answering
Edited by: Britta Heinsen on Jul 23, 2009 1:52 PM

I don't think such an auto update is available. Infact I came to know that such an update is available in IS-R after reading your query.
Obviously you an always create a workflow based enhancement that can synchronize the Info-records and material master changes or sort of enhancement which regularly reads the material master change history for such changes and trigger a synchronization by executing change Info-record automatically.

Met problem to change unit of measure in material master

Our prime made mistake when creating material master with MM01. He used wrong unit of measure EA instead of right one M. And when he recognized this issue and tried to change it with MM02 in view Basic1, system prompt him an error message that "Standard cost estimates for the current period already exist".
So, please help to let me know how can I delete related records about cost estimates and avoid this error. Thanks a lot.

Robbie,
You can delete Cost estimates using T-code: CKR1 , I am not sure if you can change UoM if you have any goods movements on the material. The best option would be create new material with correct UoM and transfer stock from old Material to New one with proper Conversion.
Thanks

Error when changing unit of Issue in material master

Hi,
When i am trying to change Unit of issue in Qualitymanagement view of a material using MM02 transaction, we got error message - "The unit of issue cannot be changed because the material is used in a BOM-------Mesage no. M3214"
Can anyone suggest what is the reason behind this. ?. how to avoid this error.
Thanks in advance.

HI Aditya,
"The unit of issue cannot be changed because the material is used in a BOM-------Mesage no. M3214"
The reason is that material is used as a component in BOMs with the present unit of issue as a unit in the bom line item.Unless you change that bom line item unit to its base unit ,system will not allow you to change the unit of issue in QM.
First check in which BOMs the material you were changing is used as a component.this you can do in transaction CS15.
then change the unit of measure used for the material in bom line item to base unit of measure.if one only one BOM is there change in CS02.if more BOMS are there do mass change in CS20.
Then try to change the unit o fissue.now system will allow you to do the changes.

Changing the Unit of Measurement in Material Master

Dear Experts,
Material DF21DENG (fert) was created with KGS (kilogram per second) as its unit of measurement. A material BOM was now created for DF21DENG.
I intend to change the unit of DF21DENG from KGS to KG (kilogram). On doing this in the Basic data view of DF21DENG, i get the message " change is not possible because a BOM exists for this material".
In the BOM of DF21DENG, I set the deletion flag on & tried to change the unit in the Material master again but got the same massage.
Please how can I effect this change?

This response was helpful but was solved the problem was that; from the Edit, i selected Delete from the drop down & then the alternative BOM was deleted.

Unit of measure in Material Master after PO's created

Hello Everyone,
I know that we can't change the material measure unit once PO's and other documents are created.
What can I do with the PO so i can change the material measure unit?
Thanks in Advance.

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.

Ordering unit in Purchasing the Material master

Dear all,
We have 2 material codes for same material e.g.
1. ABC --- having Base unit 'EA' & no ordering unit defined in the master. stock - 100nos
2. PQR --- having base unit 'EA' , but ordering unit is 'KG' in the purchasing view. + additinal data - Unit of measure is defined as 1 EA = 1 EA & 1 KG = 1 EA. stock -60kg.
Both materials having stock in the system. We want to use 'PQR' code only.
How to issue PQR material in 'EA' against production order ?
It is coming in 'KG' unit.
Have I to remove/change ordering unit in additional data ?
i.e. e.g. 1KG = 400 EA.

How to issue PQR material in 'EA' against production order ?
It is coming in 'KG' unit.
unit for goods issue is an extra unit and has nothing to do with order unit.
You can change/remove the goods issue unit in material master storage location view
Have I to remove/change ordering unit in additional data ?
i.e. e.g. 1KG = 400 EA.
select the alternative unit and click the button for line deletion below the overview

Base Unit Of Measurment in Material

Dear Experts,
Base UoM in material master is in Metric Tonne "MT",While Creating the BOM of the Material My Base qunatity is also in MT by default but I want to change Base Uom to in KiloLiter "KL".But system is not allowing to change.
In system there are many Transactions iof material in current period.
Please suggest as it is in production server.
Thanks,
GBS

Hi,
If I understand you correctly, you have to change Item Master to the lower UoM KL. Then you may use this as a base UoM in BOM.
Thanks,

Unit of Measurement in Material Master

Hello Experts...
I have an intresting issue on Unit of Measurement. I would like to maintain alternative unit of measurement as per below..
1 EA = 1 EA
1 ROLL = 5000 EA
1 CT = 150,000 EA
However the field UMREZ length in the material master allows me to enter upto 5 digits...and also it is not possible to enter decimal digits here.
Have any one of you faced this kind of issue, if any one faced what would be the solution for this...?
Look forward to hearing from you..
Cheers
Umakanth..

Hi Umakanth,
For increasing the numerator for conversion of base unit of measure, UMREZ would be appending the structure SMEINH by requesting Access Key from SAP.
Even though its not a suggestible decision to append standard SAP structure , if the requirement demands we may need to do that.
Cheers!
