BOM Unit Different from Base Unit of Measure

Dear PP Experts,
I have following Scenario in some of wires which are .
Base Unit of Measure - Coil
Conversion Factor
1 Coil - 100 Metres (Already Maintained in mm01)
Suppose, one manufacuring item consist of 0.5 Metre of Wire. We want to use Metre in BOM, how can we use it.
Please help, full points if helped.
Ishu

Dear,
In material master you maintin alternate unit as meter in plant data/storage 1 as unit of issue This will default this unit in BOM item
In the BOM, in the component enter the above material code and enter the qty as 0.5. system will default meter as the unit of measure in BOM.
Please come back if required

Ordering unit different from invoicing unit

Hi all,
My client procures steel. In PO, they want to buy with ordering unit EA, but when invoicing, they want it in KG (because based on the law here, invoice for steel must be in KG).
We suggested them to use ordering unit KG because in SAP, PO unit and invoicing unit have to be the same.
Is there anyway/configuration to allow the PO unit different from invoicing unit?
Thanks,
Trang

Hi,
You can have order unit as EA and Order price unit as KG while creating PO.
For ex:
Order qty: 10 EA
OPU: KG
Under item tab quantity/weights in PO, you can give the conversion factor as 1 EA = 2 KG or maintain the conversion factor in additional data of material master.
Price will be calculated for 20 KG during invoice.

Unit conversion from Sales unit to Base unit

HI,
I am working on 2lis_11_vaitm and 2lis_11_v_ssl sources.
Both these sources have quantities in Sales unit.
In BW how do i convert these quantities to Base unit.
Both sales unit and base units are available in the sources. But value avialable only in Sales unit.
I am using delivery quantity from 2lis_11_v_ssl and Cumulative order quantity in 2lis_11_vaitm.
Kindly suggest a way.
Regards,
Adarsh

Hi...
You can use the function module CF_UT_UNIT_CONVERSION to convert from one
unit to the another.
Hope this helps you...

Headset too far from base unit

My wife recently moved her office into an attic room in the house and her Plantronics headset no longer links with the Diverse 3010 base unit, which is where the phone line comes into the house downstairs. In fact the walk-about phone works fine, but just not the headset.
What are my options? Would a new phone provide a stronger signal? Or do I need to get the phone line rerouted? Any other options?
Thanks
Ben

You may have to move the base unit nearer to the office, although you can get a diverse repeater seen here but they are not cheap.

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 )

Cheking the material for base unit or convert it to base unit.

Hi friends,
I have a requirement asa follows.
I Have an internal table ITAB1 in that i have some 200 records. In that ITAB1 i have
MATNR and MEINS field and iam selecting those fields from MSEG table.
Now my requirment is i have to check for base unit of that particular.
example :
now let us say iam getting in my ITAB1.
MATNR      MEINS
M-123          EA
now i have to check the base material for that material. if both the base unit and what i got i same then its ok.        or    if the both are not same then it should convert to the base unit.
how can i do that.
Regards,
Priyanka.

Hi Priyanka,
To this FM u have to pass the material number, Input unit(itab1-meins), Output unit(Base unit-mara-meins), Quantity. In Importing parameter E_MENGE pass one variable. After FM call u will receive the converted value in this variable.
Just check the where used list of the FM to see the sample code.
    CALL FUNCTION 'MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT'
         EXPORTING
              I_MATNR              = P_MATNR
              I_IN_ME              = P_MEEHT "Input unit
              I_OUT_ME             = P_AUSME "Base unit
              I_MENGE              = P_MENGE "Input Quantity
         IMPORTING
              E_MENGE              = I_AUMENGE "Quantity in base unit.
         EXCEPTIONS

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.

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...

Material Ledger Unit Of Measurement different from Material Master

Dear Team,
In my client, there is a difference between unit visible in CKM3N and MM03. The base unit of measurement in MM03 is MT. Other than that, there are some other units maintained (not M3) in additional data tab in material master. In CKM3N, the visible unit is M3. M3 is not present anywhere in MM03.
Why would such unit flow in material ledger table? (CKMLPP has unit M3). Please advise.
One more observation is that when there is some price change document in Material Ledger, the proper UoM (MT) is being captured. Only in the basic price determination structure visible unit for each head is M3. Please check the attached screen shot.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Jay Shah.

Hi..
Refer to Data Inconsistency of BUOM in Material Ledger Tables

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

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)

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
Aparna

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"

mukesh
