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.

Stock display with Alternate unit of measure

Hi All,
is there any report in SAP, which displays the warehouse stock with Alternate Unit of measure. I did try in MB52. It was showing only in BUM. Please help ASAP.
Ayesha

Hello Ayesha,
We had the same requirement. So we copied MB52 to ZMB52 and added a new selection for the AUM. Additional coding was also done for the UoM conversion.
Cheers !

Issue with Alternate unit of measure

Here in my production client which creating a material in April they have created with Base unit of measure = G and alternate unit of measure = EA
! EA = 60G....But actually they should have maintain 1 EA = 50g....Lot of docs got posted from April onwards...
Movement types posted were 641,561, 562,101,102,601,653
Now is there any possiblity to rectify it????

Basically you need to correct your material master and then adjust the quantity with a physical inventory as Manoj already suggested.
However, you should at least check each movement related to sales like the 641, 601 and 653 movements if it was done in the alternative unit or in the base unit . MB51 can give you this info in the detailed report.
you then have to analyze if you billed too much or too less to your customer.
This should then be rectified before you adjust your inventory, because you may get even more problems with posting if you get a customer complaint or a return which need to be posted with the old incorrect conversion ratio. Otherwise you may have to adjust your inventory a second time after such event ocurs.

Material upload: alternate unit of measure problem

Hello,
I'm uploading materials using LSMW (BAPI nethod: BUS1001006). I have a problem for the records with alternate units of measure. I put the units in a separate file and map the ISO code and the Numerator. However, I receive an error M3333 for the materials with 2 rows (one basic UoM and other alternate), which says that I have to maintain conversion factors for the alternate UoM. I thought, I'm doing so by providing Numerator (E1BP_MARM-NUMERATOR), but somehow it's not enough.
Any assistance will be highly appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Eli

Wrong definition in MARMX structure.

Alternate Unit of Measure with several Qty KF's

Case is as follows:
3 different plain KFs related to qty. Sales volume, net weight anddelivery qty.
All need to be dispalyed in the same report. All have different base unit of measure.
I have only one variable [YTAUNIT) for entering required unit.
Now if I enter all KFs using this same YTAUNIT variable for them each separately I get error message on the query that this is not permitted.
How should I change the structure ?
- add new variable for each KF ? (YTAUNIT1, YTAUNIT2, .....) -> do I need to change any of the ABAP codes? is there a link only picking YTAUNIT ?
Please can You give me an example (detailed) how to proceed ?
Thanks in advance
Petri

Hi,
I have worked on single variable But from the understanding of working I feel you need to create three diff variable (input var) YTAUNIT1, YTAUNIT2 ect Because they are on same base unit of measure with different units of measures. And you will have to take corresponding variable for every key figure in the calculated KF.
Just try with different variables.
Assign points if it helps.

Regarding Alternate Unit of Measure

Sir,
Is there a provision to create a material with an Alternate Unit of Measure apart from the Barse Unit of Measure?.
In this case what impact will the Alternate Unit of Measure have in the BOM?. How to configure the Alternate Unit of Measure of a Child Component in the BOM?.
Can anyone give a detailed explanation of the subject.
Regards,
R. Vijayakumar

Hi,
Use tcode MM01 and select Additional data field in top. In this select Unit of measure tab page.
Now enter the alt UOM with conversion factor.
In this case what impact will the Alternate Unit of Measure have in the BOM?.
In the BOM, you can assign only base unit. Alt UOM can not assign.
How to configure the Alternate Unit of Measure of a Child Component in the BOM?.
In the BOM, you can assign only base unit. Alt UOM can not assign.

ME51N : how to deal with different units of measure as defined in MM01?

Hi Folk,
Could you please help me ?
Some of our materials booked in stock are purchased by our purchasing department in Europe but as well by our purchasing department in US.
The base unit of measure of those materials are defined with KG (kilogram) in the masterdata file (MM01).
Why this is not allowed to enter a purchase requisition (ME51N) with other unit of measure than KG? My purchasing department in US is not able to work with kilogram and thus they need to enter the requisition with US units of measure (pounds).
However when we create purchase orders, we can play with other units of measure.
Does someone can explain to me how to create a PR with a unit of measure different from the default one? Or could you share your experience to bypass this issue. Note that we really would like to have the same material number both for Europe and US (with different plants and storage locations).
Thank you very much!
François.

Variable for Alternate Unit of Measure

Hello Experts
I have implemented the soultion for reporting data in Alternate Unit of measure using the "How to..." guide provided at https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b7b2aa90-0201-0010-a480-a755eeb82b6f
This solution involves creating a variable which prompts the user to enter the required unit of measure.
However I have a situation where I would like to create variable which is not input-ready and has a fixed value assigned to it without prompting the user. Moreover, I cannot modify the already existing input-ready variable as it is used in other Queries.
Does this involves creating a new user exit or modifying the existing user exit. If yes then can you please tell me how this can be done.
Thanks
Rishi

Hi Rishi,
You can follow any one the below procedure for solve your issue.
1. You can change the variable by removing the check box "Ready to input". But you mentioned that you used that variable in other queries also. So, I am not suggesting this.
2. You create a new variable same as the existing variable but with out selecting "Ready to Input" check box. Now when the user run the query, that variable will not be seen to the user. Now, we will see the customer exit, you assign new variable value to existing variable, before that you have to write a condition for checking the query name. If you are running the query which have the new variable then assign the variable value to old variable. This will solve your question.
I hope you understood this procedure. If you have any doubts let me know.

ALternate Unit of Measure as a Order unit in PO

Hi everyone,
I have a problem while ordering the Quantity in PO with alternate unit which is maintained in MMR. The problem is
in MMR, I have maintained EA as the UOM and PAC as the Alternate unit of measure.
while in PO, i am trying to give the 'Order Unit (OUn) as the PAC which is the alternate unit maintained. But it is not accepting and
again reverting back to EA. i couldnt find out the solution. But some POs for that material is already ordered as PAC unit.
Could it be problem with the MMR ?
Regards
Siva

HI,
Go to Inforecord of that material with that vender on that plant.
Change Inforecord(me12)...here in general data...change the order unit.
system will give the conversion factor as u defined in material master.
Hope Help U !

Report Data in Alternate Unit of Measure

Hi
We are working on Unit of measure Conversion for this we are following How To.Report Data in Alternate Units of Measure document. We did all the steps as mentioned in the document still this is not working. All results are showing zeros with same units of key figure qty like EA, ROl, Boxes and so on. We want to convert this into Cartons and Pallets. My question is is there any thing we need to do which is not mentioned in this white paper.
For example maintaining Conversion Factor in R/3 side?
Do we need to add Conversion factor Key figure to Transfer Structure and Info cubes?
(Which is not mentioned in the white paper) if so which field we need to map this in Transfer Structure?
We are in Version 3.5
Thanks
Naga

Naga,
For your first question.....you can "maintain" different units of measure in 0MAT_UNIT, but at one time you can report on only one alternate unit.
For your second question, I have a feeling that it is the problem with your enhancement to the std SAP code which is mentioned in the How to Paper. After you have done the enhancements did you activate the programs again? If there is somebody with you who is good in ABAP just run this enhancement through him.
Also just make sure you have followed everystep in that how to document, including the query designer part of it.
According to the logic of that paper, if the alternate unit is not available, then it is supposed bring back data in base unit, it is not supposed to error out. Check your ehancement piece again.
Thanks

Conversion of alternate unit of measurement

Hi,
System will not allow to enter conversions of unit of measurements in decimal points. But is there any configuration or method, we can force system to accept conversions of unit of measurements in decimal points only? (For example 2.5kg = 1pc, base unit of measurement is 'PC' and alternate unit of measurement is 'KG')
Regards,
Sattuj

Hi,
For the given example of Alternate conversion you can use the following setting :
2.5 Kg = 1 Pc
Put the Values as :
25 Kg = 10 Pc
With this the objective of Decimal is achieved.
Please check the following posts for more info :

Mass Maintenance of alternate unit of measures

Hi,
I have an issue wherein 2000 materials have been updated with wrong alternate unit of measures.
I have checked MM17 but it would allow only changes and not deletions.
Kindly advice,whether there is any other way of deleting AuM.
Thank you

Dear.
Ask your ABAP Team to write BDC or LSMW program.
This will help you.
