    Diagnosis
    You wanted to change the base unit of measure. However, you can do so only under certain circumstances, including the following:
    If there are no stocks of the material in the current period and in the previous period
    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).
    If no purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements exist for the material
    Procedure
    Choose Display errors to see why you cannot change the base unit of measure for this material.

  • 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.

  • Function module for conversion in basic unit of measure....

    Hi,
    Can someone give me a function module, which will convert the Unit of measure into basic unit of measure
    Say a a material has 3 CA (Cases) in a PO and the conversion factor(UMREZ in table MARAM) for CA for that material is 4 and converison for MP (Master pack) is 12,then
    3CA =  9 PC = (9/12) MP
    But I want a function module which will do this conversions ?

    Hi,
      Use MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT
    Thanks,

  • Basic unit of measure conversion

    If one PAC needs to contain 10 units, what should the conversion table look like in the "additional data" screen of MM02?

    hi,
    If one PAC needs to contain 10 units:
    conversion table look like:
    X     AUN    Measurement unit text       <=        Y   BUN             measurement unit text
    1     PAC      Pack                               <=      10     (ST)            Units
    and
    if for the material you maintained ( BUN)  basic unit of measure as ST -- units, then one pacK = 10 units.  if you maintained in KG  then one pacK = 10 kgs.
    hope this may help you,

  • 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.

  • Change for Unit of measure in condition master

    Hi, gurus..
    I want to know this is SAP error or not..
    I created condition for material H20.
    H20     70500 usd  per 1 SET
    and edited the unit of measure in addtion of material master record.
    1 EA - 1EA
    1 SET - 6 EA
    then I create SO in VA01 with line item
    H20   1EA   ...
    but condition record showed me a wrong value..
    H20    11774  usd  per 1EA...
    70500 / 6  = 11750  usd..Why  11774...??
    So, I changed the condition for more test..
    H20  11750 usd per 1EA...
    After input line item in VA01.
    H20  1 Set...
    then condition was 70500 usd per 1 SET ..Right result..
    I tried it on other system ( Best Practices 1606) once more  but result was same.
    This is SAP ERROR ??? or not..
    Plz..give me your ideas..

    Dear Kim,
    this error will come due to conversion factor at sales order level .kindly check in the item level how the conversion factor will take the system and also try to change the Quantity and check once again. this will come rare case , if you want to check the conversion error ,debug at the sales order level . for your reference I am attachment the conversion factor path .

  • Changing Base Unit Of Measure (Material Master)

    Hi
    1. How to check this? (Any successful changes in material master only took place when there is no open document from SD, PP, MM & FI for that material. )
    2. Base unit of measurement cannot be changed.  The reason being material movement history is there in table - MSEG mainly which otherwise create inconsistency in reporting.  -
    Is this line applicable for current period or previous period in current year or previous period previous year???
    3. There are no existing purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material. -
    is this means open / pending purchase orders  or the the PO's created in system with respect to material where the GR and IR is already done
    4. You can change the base unit of measure if there is no stock of the material during current and previous period----
    is this means the term " previous preiod" is previous period in the current finacial year   or its applicable for the previous preiod in previous financial year
    5. Post the stock in the previous period to the current period  - -
    how can we do this???
    Vijay

    See this OSS note : especially the last sentence:
    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
    1) SAP checks this for you. A new button will appear in MM02 and after you click this button to check the error log, you will see which documents exist.
    2) I have not seen that an existing movement will restrict the change of a BUoM.
    3) No purchase requisitions, purchase orders or scheduling agreements must exist for which the deletion indicator is not set
           it is not caring about GR done or IR done. it telling you that the deletion indicator has to be active. As a deletion indicator can be reset easily, you probably have to archive the documents
    4) the previous period is the period before the current period.
       today we have February, hence the previous period is January.
    5) first make sure your current stock is higher than the stock of the previous period. if it is lower, then you have to create inventory in current period first e.g. with 202 movement with current date.
    Then you issue the previous period stock with 201 movement and previous period date (make sure periods are open in OB52 and MMRV allows posting to previous period).
    Finally you issue the left stock in the current period with 201 and current date.
    Now previous period and current period stock is zero. After the change of the base unit you have to get the stock back into the system

  • I live in the UK : How do I change the unit of measurement from inches to metric in iPhoto

    I live in the UK : How do i change the default unit of measurement from inches to metric?

    Terence
    Thanks for your answer to my question. I have tried what you suggested and 'metric' was already set as the default so unfortunately, it has not solved my problem which is when I set the dimensions for the print size before printing, I have to change from 'inches' to 'cms' for each photo every time. I was hoping that I would be able to set 'cms' as the default.
    Hope you can help me.

  • Change base unit of measure

    Hi,
    Its me again. I need to change the base unit of measure of a material but a task listw as created via QP01. I tried to delete this via QP02 but i still cannot change the base unit of measure. Is there any way except for deleting the task list via CA98?
    Thanks.
    Elen

    Ellen,
    Unfortunately the answer to your question is no..You have to use a transaction like CA98 or QSR6 to delete the Inspection plan from Database. Please take necessary authorisation and delete this plan.
    Alternately set this material to with deletion flag and client & plant level status, so that you cannnot use this material any longer. Now create a new material with correct Base unit of measure and use this material.

  • Change in unit of measure

    Dear Experts,
    We have one component Comp1 which was used in many products Prod1 , Prod2 , Prod3 ..... The unit of issue maintained for the component is ' m ' which we want to change it to ' kg ' . System is not allowing us to change this unit of issue as this component exist as a bom component in many products.If we remove the component from the BOM of those product , it will allow us to change .
    Is there is any way to change the unit of issue without removing the component from the BOM .
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I think BOM is created In Master Recipe and not individually that's why you are facing this problem.So
    go to C202 (Change Master Recipe) and change your BOM here manually.For this go to Material screen.If select the required production version (in case of more then one Prod. Version).You will find the BOM tab here.Go to this tab and change your BOM.
    Change the Massage Control via below path,
    SPRO ---> Production ---> Basic Data ---> Bill of Material ---> General Data ---> Change Message Type ---> Here select Massage no. 29 - 358 (BOM can only be changed via &) and change it to warning or Dialog .

  • RWBE and changing Alternative Units of Measure

    Hi
    I'm trying to use RWBE to view the stock holding of multiple materials. I want to change the base unit from Ea's to TON's for all the materials in the list however it seems that I can only do this one at a time for each material in the list. If I change the list display to the "Tree Structure" I get an ABAP dump when attempting to convert all the items at the same time.
    Can this be done using RWBE or is there an alternative report which can be used.
    Thanks in advance
    FYI- MMBE is not an option since I need to view materials u201Cen massu201D

  • Basic Unit of Measure & Alternative Unit of Measure ?

    How to configure basic and alternative unit of measure(UOM) for a material ?
    If   KG - basic UOM
        Mtrs - Alternative UOM
    Here we procure material (GR, PO) with basic UOM, no prob with this system ill pick basic UOM automatically.
    and if we need to make GI with Alternative UOM ?
    How to configure the above scenario ?
    thankq

    Hi,
    As you procure material (GR, PO) with basic UOM(KG) and you want to make GI in Mtrs - Alternative UOM.
    Go to MM02 , enter your material{( you must have UOM(KG) } and select view of “General Plant data/Storage 1” and in  “unit of issue” field enter meter, then system will ask you to enter conversion factor  Mtrs  to KG. Enter your conversion factor and save.
    Now try ur transaction.

    Hi,
    Tcode: CUNi
    Path:
    SAP Customizing Implementation Guide - SAP NetWeaver - General Settings - Check Units of Measurement
    Click on unit of measurement and then on the top menu click on unit of measurement and then click new entry. You will be able to define UOM's
    Standard settings
    In the standard delivery system, units of measurement are defined according to the international system of units (SI).
    For a new installation, units of measurement are delivered in all clients. For upgrades, new units of measuremente are delivered only in Client 000. They then still have to be transported to the production clients.
    Recommendation
    If you intend to perform cross-company data exchange, note that units of measurement with company-specific characteristics may have an adverse effect.
    Activities
    Check that the dimensions delivered and the associated units of measurements are complete.
    If you are using EDI, you should also check the ISO codes.
    Next to Tab: Unit of Measurement, is Dimension. If you have the required deimension for UoM, select the same or create one to select; else select AAAADL (No Dimension).
    Hope, this may help you, some extent.
    Best Regards,
