Bill of Material base UOM

Is it possible to use a UOM other than the base UOM when defining a bill of materials in 11i?

No, that is not possible. You are stuck with the item-org's UOM.

  • Need PR Unit should not equal to Material Base UOM

    Hi All,
    I want to maintain Base UOM as 'PC' in material master. Then i want 'BAG' unit should appear while creating PR & PO.
    here 1 BAG = 100 PC .
    After i maintained 'PC' uom  in material master, the uom 'PC' is appearing automatically while creating PR . This field is not editable in PR.
    Please advice what i should do so that i can maintain PC as Base unit in material master & i can use unit 'BAG' for PR & PO.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Maintain the order unit as BAG in purchasing view of material master.
    Maintain conversion factor 1 BAG=100PC in the "Additional Data>>Unit of measure" of material master
    Create PR - here, the Unit of Measure will be shown as PC only. You cannot modify that in PR.
    Next step, convert PR to PO in ME21N. There system will automatically pick the order unit as BAG and shown in PO item. It will also do quantity conversion to BAG as per conversion factor defined in material master.

  • GR is being done in Kgs while the Base Uom of material is PC how is done.

    Hello
    I want to raise PO for a material which has been Base uom is PC but the GR is being done in KG's. There is no fixed relation between PC and Kg's.
    how can we handle this situation.
    Regards
    Sameer

    Hi Sameer
    SAP facilitates multiple UOMs.
    In Material master, you shd have these settings:
    1) Base UOM = PC
    2) In purchasing view : Either maintain order unit = KG and/or maintain variable order unit field with '1' or '2'.
    How is the ocnversion handled:
    1) Maintain Alternate UOMs in Material master; When you maintain order unit=KG, system will prompt you to enter conversion between KG & PC
    2) Maintain order unit as KG and conversion in Info record for the material.
    3) Maintain order unit as KG in PO and you can maintain conversion in PO

  • Change Material Number using BAPI_PO_CHANGE, PO OrderUnit reset to base UoM

    Hi Experts,
    I am using IDOCs and BAPI_PO_CHANGE to update PO's in SAP (as PO's are created/maintained in an external system and interfaced to SAP). This works fine except for a change in the material number, the PO Order Unit is getting reset to the Base UoM of the Material Master and not the value from the BAPI(BAPIMEPOITEM-PO_UNIT).
    we are passing the following for BAPI_PO_CHANGE.
    POHEADER
    POHEADERX
    POITEM-PO_ITEM = '1000'
    POITEM-MATERIAL = 'MAT_B'
    POITEM-PLANT = '3001'
    POITEM-STGE_LOC =  '1000'
    POITEM-QUANTITY = '100.00'
    POITEM-PO_UNIT = 'SET'
    POITEM-ORDERPR_UN = 'SET'
    POITEM-PO_ITEM = '1000'
    POITEM-MATERIAL = 'X'
    POITEM-PLANT = 'X'
    POITEM-STGE_LOC =  'X'
    POITEM-QUANTITY = 'X'
    POITEM-PO_UNIT = 'X'
    POITEM-ORDERPR_UN = 'X'
    Say for the example above if the existing PO values are
    Material = MAT_A
    Quantity = 100.00
    PO Order Unit = SET
    after update from BAPI the values are
    Material = MAT_B (is getting update from BAPI fine)
    Quantity = 120.00 (recalculated based on base UoM)
    PO Order Unit = PC (resets to Base UoM and does not take value coming from BAPI?)
    The above is for PO's where there is no Purchase Order History yet, i.e., PO just created and then ammendment is coming thru.
    Would really appreciate any help/advise on this.
    Thanks so much.
    Sneha

    I have tried in ME22N and am able to change the material number and then PO unit to a specified unit (other then base) and save the PO ok.
    The variable order unit is allowed and we can create PO's in any unit (other then base UoM) and its working ok as well.
    Any other reason for the problem I am facing?
    Thanks.

  • Material Quantity Conversion - Base UOM to Sales UOM

    Hi,
    Is there any SAP Function Modules to Convert a Matrial Quantity from Base UOM into Sales UOM?
    Appreciate Your Help!.
    Thanks,
    Kannan.

    You can use this FM:
      CALL FUNCTION 'MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT'
        EXPORTING
          I_MATNR                    = WS_BSEG-MATNR  " < material
          I_IN_ME                    = WS_BSEG-MEINS " < Base Uom
          I_OUT_ME                   = LF_MEINS " < Sales Uom
          I_MENGE                    = LF_E_MENGE " < Qty in Base Uom
        IMPORTING
          E_MENGE                    = LF_I_MENGE " < Qty in Sales Uom

  • How to change the base UoM in the material master?

    Hi,
    I want to change the base UoM in the material master for a particular material but I can't change irt with MM02 as system says it has open routings for this material.
    I have set the deletion flag on the routings but still system shows open routings while changing UoM.
    Is there any standard SAP program by which UoM can be changed if open POs, stock etc. are present in the system?
    Thanks,
    Input

    HI
    It is possible to change the Base unit of measure in the following cases:
    1) If there are no stocks of the material in the syatem
    2)If there are no purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.
    3)If a purchase order or purchase order item is not being created or changed.
    Procedure for changing is:
    Access the material master record in Change mode.
    Overwrite the old base unit of measure with the new one on any departmental data screen.
    Save the change.
    Thanking you.

  • Inventory Report-Replacement path for Base UOM to Case and Standrad Cost

    Hi, We have a Scenario as below:
    Question1:
    We have a multiprovider contains 4 infocubes and 2 Master Data objects
    a.Demand
    b.Inventory
    c.Sales Orders
    d.In Transit
    Master Data objects
    a. Material (contains Base UOM to Case as Key Figure Attribute and also Base UOM as an attribute)
    b. Material Location (Contains material as an attribute and also Standard Cost as a Key Figure attribute)
    At the report level two formula variables are defined with replacement path for showing the Base UOM to Case and Standard Cost in columns.
    We have 4 reports on this multiprovider. There is a dialy sales report which gives the following details
    Material, Location, MRP Controller, CalDay, Base UOM, Actual Sales(AS), Dependent Demand(DD), Consumption Qyt(CQ), Base to Case UOM, Standard Cost
    In this report for all the records the Base to UOM and Standard Cost column is coming with values which is nothing but the replacement path on the material master key figure attribute. Though this report is on the multiprovider all the major keyfigures (AS, DD and CQ) are coming from a single cube( this is an observation from myside).
    We have another report which is the Inventory Report with the following details:
    Material, Location, MRP Controllder, Calday, Base UOM,      Unrestricted Inventory(UI), committed Inventory(CI), Back Order Qty(BOQ), In Transit by Sh/Rec(ITS), In Transit Pipeline(ITP), On Order Qty (OOQ), Current Inventory Position (CIP), Quality Inspection Stock(QIS), Block Stock(BS), Base to Case UOM, Standard Cost
    Now in this report for all the records the Base to Case UOM and standrad cost is not showing up. Is there anything which needs to be done in order to get the Base to Case UOM and standard cost for all the records.
    Question2:
    When Non-Cumulative and Cumulative key figures are combined at the multi provider and also at the report level, will there be any problem?
    Regards

  • WEB ADI INTEGRATOR FOR Bill of Material

    I am developing a WEB ADI integrator for Bill of material upload. The integrator will populate the data in a temporary table, validate it & write the error messages back to the table . On succesful validation the data will be sent to interface tables & then to base table.
    The integrator uses a procedure & sends data to the procedure. Procedure then loads data in temporary table & does the rest of work.
    To do this i need to know the following thinngs:
    1. How i can track the line no of Excel?
    2. How do I know that all data are loaded in temporaray table because the validation & rest of work will be done once all the rows of excel are transfered to temporaray table. i.e. How do i determine the End of File in Excel?
    3. How do i write error messages from the table to the excel in web adi?
    Any help will be appreciated. Please send me the sample scripts & web adi developer guide at [email protected],[email protected]

    If you check the XML that Web ADI generates to upload a document you will note that each row gets a row number. It would be a matter of being able to keep track of that number in your table so that when you are reporting the error back you can include that number in the message so the code in the Excel spreadsheet can assign it to the correct row.
    I would suggest trying to use even some of the basic validation mechanisms provided within Web ADI, as these will automatically return the error messages for bad data to the correct row in the spreadsheet.
    Web ADI will take the uploaded data, perform any validation check defined within meta-data then push the data to your Interface table. There are plenty of examples in th shipped code of product teams then using the Import phase of the upload to perform additional checks and then push the data further. But if you can utilize the existing Web ADI functionality. The data never ends up in the table in the first place to require any clean up on your part.

  • BASE UOM different in R/3 and APO

    Hi Experts
    I am working in a scenario where we have 2 R/3 boxes connected to 1 APO. The products are common across the boxes but locations are different. We are implementing GATP with Rules based substitutions for locations across the R/3 boxes. Since the confrmations in sales order in 1 R/3 box will have supplying locations lying in other R/3 box, we have set up all 3 systems (2 R/3 and 1 APO) under the asme BSG.
    1. Now there is a situation where there is a material defined with the same material number in both R/3 boxes but the base UOM is different (eg. In one box it is Kg and the other it is gram). All relevant conversions (Kg to gram and gram to KG) are already defined in respective R/3 material masters. It is evident that in APO I will be working with only one base UOM. I have transferred the material from one of the box and the base UOM transferred is KG. If I CIF the same material from the other box (for different location and different base UOM gram) I get an error as the there is a base UOM conflict in APO. Have you come across such a situation in any of your projects? If yes then how did you reslove it?
    2. Assuming that I am able to overcome the above problem by using user exits around CIF, I will have a situation where there is a material defined with base UOM as GRAM in one of the R/3 boxes and KG in APO (I manually simulated such a scenario by changing the base UOM in APO). In both R/3 and APO the appropriate UOM conversions have been defined. When I CIF stock of 10 gram, it comes in APO and appears as 10 KG. Is there a workaround for this situation.
    Your response will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank You

  • In PR only base uom can be used - Why not order unit ?

    Hi All,
    When I create PR for raw material, SAP by default takes the base UOM. But our stack holders wants to use Order unit in the PR.
    What is the setting required to use order unit in PR.
    If this can't be done - what is the note number to support this standpoint from SAP.
    Please reply.
    Regards,
    Raj.

    Hi Rahul,
    Base unit : KG
    Order Unit: Meter
    Currently all the raw materials planning is done outside SAP. Hence the planners raise raw material PR to procurement dept for processing.
    Typical PR will have anything from 10 to 25 rawmaterial numbers in it.
    Then again they manually cenvert the required order unit to base unit for PR purpose.
    Thanks,
    Raj.

  • More than 3 decimal in Bill of Material component quantity

    I want to know whether we can use more than 3 decimals in quantities in Bill of Material. I heard that it was an issue in SAP but is that issue still exist in ECC 6.0.
    Regards

    Dear,
    During maintaing the unit of measure in T-code CUNI we can define No. of decimal places to which rounding should be performed which specifies the number of decimal places to which this measurement unit should be rounded.
    System will not allow more than 3 decimal places in satandard SAP.
    You can use a larger base quantity of 100 or 1000 in the BOM header (instead of 1).
    That would eliviate your issue with the 3 decimal places in the component quantity.
    SAP always takes the base quantity into account during requirements calculation.
    Hope clear to you.

  • J1I5 -RG1 register updation in production UoM whil havin differ. Base UoM?

    Dear gurus,
    I have come across a situation where chapter ID assigned to material has UoM as MTS (metric ton)..while base unit of measurement in Material master is MTR(meter)... while updating RG1 register using J1I5 system is picking quantity in MTR though production unit is declared as MTS and conversion between MTR and MTS is fed already. It is desirable to have entry in UoM given in chapter ID not in base UoM. Kindly tell me a way using which UoM in J1I5 can be selected or changed.
    well i am aware of that it is always preferable to have it Base unit of measure but there are other constraints of sales and PP etc which have compelled us to go with present situation ... please tell me if there is a way to make it work.... since raw mat. is bought in MTS and different goods have different conversion in MTR ... to do proper costing MTS is needed and for sales point of view MTR is important

  • POS Sales Posting Aggregated always in Base UOM Why?

    Hi All
    We have an issue in Aggregated Sales Idoc Posting. There is an article which is having Base UOM as "EA" . It has "CAR" = 5 EA.
    so 2 UOMs are there. From POS when the file is posted with 2 CAR , in SAP Billing and Article documents created only with "EA" and not with"CAR"
    We faced the similar kind of issue in "Receipt based Sales " and we asked the POS guys to pass the EAN instead on Article Code
    They passed the Qualifier "EANN" and the Barcode so that posting is ok for Receipt based sales .We have done this because there is no "SALES UOM" field in Receipt based Message type" WPUBON"
    But in Aggregated "WPUUMS" ,Sales UOM field is there and  we checked the Idoc and it contains "CAR" as Sales UOM , but while posting ,it takes the Bases UOM. In this case "EA".
    Can anyone clarify us whether standard SAP works like this? And is there in any way to make the system to post at other UOM ?
    Please help us in this
    Regards
    Anis

    I am also getting the same issue. The right sales UOM is not getting posted to article and Billing documents from WPUUMS01 IDOC in aggreated sales posting. Can anyone help Plz...
