BOM Unit of measure.

Hi gurús,
I want to include a material in a material list with a different unit of measure than the base unit of measure recorded in the material info record.
I tried creating a new unit measure in the additional data at the material info record, but then, when I include the material with the new unit of measure in the material list, the system display an error message (A) as the following:
"Unit of measure KG not supported for material XXA in plant AAB"
I would like to know how to include a material in a material list with a different unit of measure.
Example:
Material 100
Base unit of measure: UN
CS02
Additional data --> Unit of measure: KG
CS02 --> Material 100 with unit KG.
The system display error message (A).
Thanks in advance
Regards
Enzo

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.

Unit of measure changed in BOM not reflected in Production order

We noticed the following problem in one of our production order.
1. We have a bom component having a unit of measure MT.
2. A planned order already exists for this header material.
3. We changed the unit of masure in the same BOM component to KG.
4. We processed the production order and did confirmations and did auto GR.( Value 20 times high)
5. The cost at GR is very high , although the material consumption is considering the changed unit of measure KG.
Any possible solution to this problem,
Thanks,
Manohar

All steps suggested including read PP master data , rerun MRP and generate a new planned order and then convert to a new production order, have been done but the effect at 101 remains same with high actual costs.
The production order is acocunt-assigned to a WBS.
In table QBEW , the standard price is updated as very high. We havs S as price control in header material master.
May be , some one has some idea about how the standard price in Table QBEW gets updated. What is the source for this standard price which gets updated on doing GR ( It comes to project stock and we see the standard price being very high and so the actual cost is very high)
Thanks,

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,

Alternative unit of measure in BOM explosion report

Dear gurus
I want to get the alternative unit of measure along with the base unit of measure during the BOM explosion report in CS11.I tried with the layout but I cant find the same.
How is this possible?

Hi Kumar,
You can develop a Z report. In the standard CS11, the functionality of displaying the alternate UOM is not feasible.

Unit of measure in BOM

Hi...
I have one problem with unit of measure in BOM.
We can maintain item quantity upto 3 decimal point.My problem is with one of material having consumption of 0.01042 for 1pc of header material.
Due to constraint in maintining decimal point in BOM we maintained it as 0.011 & it leads to undesired result after BOM explosion.
I know there is one way of going with base qty. of header to be changed.
Suggest other else?How to get out of this.....
Regards
Tushar

Hi Brhamankar...Thanx for your valuable i/p.
We have got solution to the said problem as below(Without increasing the base quantity of header)...
1)Create new unit of measure say TP
2)Maintain it as alternate unit of measure with conversion as 1000TP=1042PC in material master of that component
3)Maintain the quantity in BOM as 0.01TP
4)Make plan entry for header level say for 50000
5)After MRP run , procurement proposal for component as 521PC(Previously it was 550PC because restriction of 3 decimal point, in BOM rounded with 0.01042 =0.011PC)
6)After MFBF, material consumption is also found ok

Reg: Unit of measure with respect to stock keeping and BOM

Dear Friends,
i need one input regarding BOM.
For one of the material we are keeping stock in KG(UOM). But at the time of goods issue we need to issue interms of
EA.(UOM) .In BOM for this material i need to keep basic Unit of measur as EA. So please let me know where can i maintain this
conversion factor.
Thank u in advance.

Dear Sir,
Please go to Basic data tab of the material nad than select the additional data, herer you may defuind the alternate unit iof measurenment.Also you can make anew unit alternate of measurement by CUNI.

BOM with alternate unit of measure

Hello team
Is it possible to create the BOM with alternate unit of measure ?
Thanks
JJ

Hi,
Not possible to create BOM by item material with alt unit of measure.
If you want to use other UOM in production, use issue unit in work scheduling view.
If you want to procure use order unit in purchasing view.
For selling use sale unit in sales view.

How to make system consider Alternative unit of measure while creating BOM?

Dear Experts,
When creating a BOM, how do I make the system consider the alternative unit of measure if at the point of creating the BOM, I decide to use the component material alternative unit of measure? The scenario is as follows:
Header
Material code is TK677, Base Unit of Measure is Litres.
Components:
Material code is RT677, Base Unit of measure is Litres.
Material code is RV677, Base Unit of measure is Kilogram.
When formulation is done in the laboratory, the components are weighed and measured in percentage weight. For example, 20% for first component (RT677) and 80% (RV677) for the second component.
To depict this, I maintain an alternative unit of measure of Kg in the Material Master of RT677, and maintain the conversion factor (100kg = 116Litres) so as to enable me use Kg as unit of measure for material RT677 when creating the BOM.
When creating the BOM, I enter Kg as unit of measure for material RT677, but gets the system error message ''Unit of measure KG not supported for material RT677 in plant NG00
Message no. 29175''
What do i need to do as I have already maintained Kg as alternative unit of measure? or which other better way should i handle this issue?

Thanks a lot for your reply, it worked, it allowed me to create the BOM using Kg for component RT677. But the new challenge i am now facing is that when I try to create a process order copyiing this BOM, it gives me the same unit (Kg) for component RT677 whose base unit of measure is Litres.
I actually want the process order to copy the BOM and use Litres for component RT677 based on the conversion factor which I have maintained in the Additional Data window of the material master.
The reason is that, the formulation done in the lab is measured in percentage weight, but this component weight is now scaled up to Litres when the component is pumped into the Blending Vessels as specified in their Blending Instruction.
Please how do I ensure that when the master recipe is copied during creation of the Process Order, that the unit of measure will be the base unit of measure (Litres) despite the fact that I have used the alternative unit of measure (Kg) for this component during creation of the BOM.
Thanks

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

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...

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.

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

Unit of measure EA allows transactions in decimals ? Is EA indivisible?

Unit of measure EA allows transactions in decimals ? Is EA indivisible?
There are two scenarios. While creating a Bill of material - based on the configuration (see below) if you enter a quantity with decimals for a part number for which the Basic UOM is EA the system displays a message "Unit of measure EA does not support decimal places" THIS IS GOOD AS EXPECTED
While transacting using MB1B, MB1C, MB1A, MFBF, MIGO or other transactions the system DOES NOT check and it is currently allowing us to post with decimals (1.25, 1.312) for part number for which the unit of measure is EA.
Was not EA supposed to be an indivisible unit of measure? why is the warning message getting activated while creating or changing a BOM and why not while transacting stock?
We have configured EA in the CUNI transaction as follows:
Int. meas. unit      EA
Commercial           EA              each
Technical            EA              each
Decimal places
float. point exp.
ISO code             EA
                                      Primary code
Numerator            1
Denominator          1
Exponent             0
Additive constant    0.000000       X Commercial meas.unit
Decimal pl. rounding                 Value-based commt
Unit of meas.family

you cannot restrict this behaviour with CUNI customizing, you can only check and stop this in a user exit.
SAP inventory managment allows and stores 3 decimals for any unit of measure. You can only define how it will show the value to the users and how it will round the decimals if it calculates the conversion. But if you enter manually with decimals, then SAP will not round this.
please read OSS Note 931971 - Decimal places in stocks and stock postings
and
Note 77525 - Quantity unit conversion in inventory management

BOM Unit of measure.
