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 .

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.

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 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.

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.

Prasobh

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

Hi,
To Check the available unit of measures or to create below gfiven the Path
SPRO->General Settings->Check Uuits of Measurements
Please check whether Alternative Unit of measure is maintaind.

To Change Basic Unit of Measure

Dear Sappers,
With refernce to my previous posted thread, below I am giving the detailed copy of *PERFORMANCE ASSISTANCE*
The Performance Assistance is giving me solution to proceed but for proceeding further is not possible. As max no of sessions are 2.
Also massege is generated by MM02 & solution given is also same MM02.
Please find below pasted Performance assistance.
The base unit of measure cannot be changed; choose "Display errors"
Message no. M3189
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.
The pushbutton Display errors appears only in dialog mode, not in data transfer or in mass maintenance. If this message appears in data transfer or in mass maintenance, and you want to know why the base unit of measure cannot be changed, access the material in dialog mode using the relevant transaction below, try to change the base unit of measure as required, and then choose Display errors:
Industry
Proceed
Retail
Proceed

Dear Friend,
Please do the following:
1. MM02 + material number, select basic view 1
2. Change the BUoM + press enter
3. A button called 'Display error' will appear between the description of the transaction and 'basic view 1' tab. ( left from 'Additional data' button ) > please click on it

Can we change Base unit of Measure ?

Hello,
I got a requirement to change the name TO(tonne) base unit of measure in MM01 into MT. Is it possible to achieve this if ys share me the procedure.
In short when i click F4 help in base unit of measure in the place of TO i want to change it into MT.
Thks

If u want to change the base unit of measure... firstly do the conversion method... MM02 (If the material is a finished or semi finished) -> Work Scheduling View -> Put the UNIT OF ISSUE (MT) and then give the conversion factor unit measure.... and save...
if u want to change the base unit of measure... Change the MRP PRofile and then change the Base Unit of Measure...
It is better to consult PP and MM Consultant....
I think you got the solution... Give me the point....

Change Base unit of measurment while creating BOM-CS01

Dear Experts,
Base UoM in material master is in Metric Tonne "MT",While Creating the BOM of the Material My Base qunatity is also in MT by default but I want to change Base Uom to in KiloLiter "KL".But system is not allowing to change.
In system there are many Transactions iof material in current period.
Please suggest as it is in production server.
Thanks,
GBS

Hi ,
We are Using User Exists,
If Production Order Header material's unit of entry is not same as base UOM then system will check conversion ratio maintained in material master-->additional data.
Convert quantity in UOE to quantity in Base UOM for Header material i.e.101 movement.
Calculate componenet quantity (261 movement) as per bom.
Calculate 95% of component quantity for lower tolerance limit
Calculate 105% of component quantity for upper tolerance limit
If component quantity entered against 261 movement is not within lower and upper tolerance then system will give error message and will restrict to post entry.
This for information part.But still my question is how can alt. Uom of Measurment can be used while creation of BOM instead of Base Uom at header level.

Change of Unit Of Measure

Hi,
İ have a material created in more than 20 plants two months ago. Since then, many material documents has been created and there is a considerable amount of stock both in the previous and current periods.
To change the UOM,
*i have to complete / mark as deleted all the documents related to the material.
there must be no stock in the last two periods.
As this is hard work considering the number of plants, is there an easier way of changing the UOM?

Hi Lia,
You can use either transaction code: MB1B or MIGO (option: Transfer Posting).
You have to do Material to Material transfer.
System will prompt for plant, storage location, and from material and to material, quantity etc.
Then save the document.
Note: In order to carry out a transfer posting from material to material both materials must be managed in the same stockkeeping unit If you want to transfer materials with different UoM, then there should be a relationship between the UoM's.
Hope this clarifies.
Thanks
