Change of UOM in Product Master with outstanding documents.

Hi all,
SRM allows the change of base UOM for product master even though there is outstanding document  using that particular product master. Shouldn't it be the case whereby change of base UOM for product master is not allowed if there is outstanding documents?
Furthermore, I did a document check for the outstanding document and no error/warning message complaining that UOM in document does not match UOM as defined in product master. Any idea if this is correct?
Thanks.

hello weishan
i will check once again from my side and let you know shortly.
if you could change UOM in SRM master data , then it may not sync with ECC.
i think best practice master data change in source system and synchronise with srm system.

  • Change system status in Product Master - Urgent

    Hi,
    How to change the Sales Status in Product Master for the products which has been downloaded from R/3 to CRM?
    Sales Status field is appearing in Gray colour and it is not allowing for changes of the status?
    It is urgent.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    When you download a product from R/3 to CRM, R/3 remains the 'master' for your product. Since there is no two-way synchronization of products between R/3 and CRM you should change that field in R/3 and perform a new initial load.
    This is only true for R/3 related fields, CRM specific fields (like links with accessoiries, related products....) are always changeable in CRM since they do not occur in R/3. This mechanism is to protect desynchonization of your product master in a distributed environment.
    Hope this helps,
    Reward points if useful!

  • Change of UOM in material master?

    Dear SAPIENTS,
    I created a material  with UOM (M)just now and than assigned to inspection plan. Now I am changing the UOM of material to Nos.. I was getting following
    Error: The base unit of measure cannot be changed
    The reasons for this are
    Routings already exist that are assigned to the material.
       RType          RtgGrp            GpC         Plant
       Q             QRW6MTQT        1            1100
    SO I removed the material from inspection plan. But still I am getting the same error. Can anybody tell me the reason behind it?
    Regards,
    Kaushal Rai

    Hi Kaushal,
    You need to delete it from the table also.
    The table is MAPL
    To delete entry from table
       1. Run trx SE16n (preferable) or SE16.
       2. Enter the Table MAPL.
       3. Enter the group and counter number.
       4. Now in the command window (Where you type the T Codes) type "_&sap_edit_". And press enter.
       5. A message such "SAP editing function is activated" will flash.
       6. Execute
       7. Delete the entry.
    Then change the UOM

  • Alternate UoM for Production

    Dear All,
    I have maintained alternate UoM for Production in material master work scheduling view.
    The ratio is 1000 KG (Production Unit) : 1 EA (Base Unit). Before starting the production the weight estimate is 980 KG for a particular production order, but Base unit remains as 1EA. So in Production order the moment I make the Production amount as 980KG it is changing the Base unit quantity to 0.98 EA. I have different production orders where the ratio becomes different. Somewhere it might be 980Kg and somewhere it becomes 1020KG.
    I cannot change the UoM in material master everytime. Please suggest how to resolve this.
    Thanks
    Geravine

    Hi!,
    For this scenario you need to implement batch specific unit of measure where you can change the wieght of each produced batch while keeping the base unit value same. Here system will ask for conversion factor for the recieved batch at the time of GR. So you can store for example, one batch with relation 1 EA = 980 KG while the other as 1 EA = 990 KG.
    Please refer following link for further details:

  • Wrong UOM in shopping cart with a contract as a supply source

    Hi experts,
    We are in SRM 7.0 classic scenario with ECC 6.0. SRM are creating SC with backend contract as source of supply.
    1. We select a material from a catalog (MDM)  with UOM in material master with value "G"
    2. In details /position in the SC, in  "supply of source" tag has a contract as a supply of source with UOM "ENV"
    3. so the contract has different UOM of the material
    4. The SC has taken the UOM from the material (material master ) instead of the contract.
    The user cant change the supply of source and he cant change the UOM that is taken the SC
    It´s behaviour not always is given. I mean that for some colleagues are determined correctly UOM in the SC and not others when we try to test the incident
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks in advance.

    HI Maria
    can you check in the Badi BBP_SOS_BADI in the method BBP_SOS_PD_CHECK and BBP_SOS_CHECK by debugging as to why there is a difference..
    Ideally AFAIK .. it should pick up UOM from Contract instead of picking up from Material master ..
    For the users who are picking up from Material master compare the roles ..
    Also please advise what is the desired functionality .. you want it to be picked from contract or Material master ?
    Also try making the changes in SOS _badi and provide feedback ..
    Maybe it could alos relate to the default values of the requestor or for some pur org ..or item level Can you check the setting in SPRO-MM-External service management-Source Determination and Default Values

  • Product master in CRM and R/3

    Hi Gurus,
    can anybody make my understanding clear regarding  the difference of product master in CRM and R/3. any links to know more on it will also help.
    Thank you in advance.
    Regards,
    sasmita

    Hi Sasmita,
    Here are some of inputs will help for undersatnding:
    <b>The CRM product master is a collection or arrangement of various settypes which contain specific data.</b>
    Pre-defined settypes are delivered (e.g. basic product data; conversion of unit of measure)
    Enhancement of the product master with own settypes is possible
    Settypes correspond to database tables
    Attributes correspond to your product characteristics.
    <b>Attributes can be summarized with the help of set types</b>
    In the system there are standard set types which are always available. However, you can also create and implement user-defined set types, to depict marketing data, for example.
    The usage of set types can be restricted (e.g. certain set types only allowed for products of type product) Distribution chain-dependent set types can be created.
    A set type is only permissable for a product when the set type is assigned to the category to which you then assign the product. To assign a set type to a category, use the function Edit categories and hierarchies.
    You can assign a set type to several product categories within a category hierarchy. However, each set type can only be assigned within one hierarchy. In doing so, a multiple assignment of a set type to one and the same product (over contrasting categories) is prevented.
    A product can be assigned to several categories, as long as these are within different category hierarchies. A product can also be assigned to only one category per hierarchy.
    The assignment to the base hierarchy R3PRODSTYP is vital, so that basic data set types are available, for example.
    R3PRODSTYP depicts the product types present in the R/3 system.
    Customer product numbers can be assigned. This Customer product ID is stored in the relationships
    Global Trade Item Number (GTIN)
    Customer-own checks can be defined before a product can be saved. Enhancements &#61614; Consistency check

  • Change profit centre in material master

    Dear all,
    How to change profit centre in material master with stock(opening balance - 561 stock ?
    What are implications of changing profit centre in material master ?
    Jeyakanthan

    In standard SAP it is possible to change the profit center at any time.
    However this will create inconsistencies in your profit center accounting. Hence you should issue all stock first to a cost center with 201 movement, then change the profit center, then get the material back with 202 movement.
    You need to make MM335 message an error message in OMT4 to allow a change only if there is no stock
    If you dont follow this way, then you create inconsistencies in profit center accounting.
    Because...you received your stock without profit center (actually it is a certain default profit center), if you then change the PC in your material, then each issue will be posted to the new PC, while it never had a receipt.

  • Unable to change/reset colors with open document in Photoshop CC 2014

    I have the 2014.2.2 release of Photoshop CC 2014 and am suddenly unable to change or reset colors with an open document. I get a "Could not complete your request because of a program error" message. After closing the document (or before opening one) I can change colors okay. But not with a document open.

    OK, then resetting Photoshop's preferences is the next thing to try. But first, save a copy of the existing preferences - we may need them to figure out what is going wrong.

    Neha

    Hi Satyajit,
    Please look at OSS  Note 1069560 - Data inconsistencies: Activating integration. models in parallel, if this helps you.
    Since  Gross data of material is in the basic view, it is common across plants , whereas, IMs are normally designed to have material masters at plant level.
    We may have same material in different IMs with different  plants. Therefore changes of the basic view fields are then contained in multiple IMs.  SAP advises to have a larger IM or sequential activation of IMs.
    I hope this will  help you .

  • Change UOM in Material Master Problem

    Hi all expert,
    Im trying to change a raw material UOM from KG to Liter in material master, i have deleted all the document related to the raw material, but when i change the UOM, it display message as below:
    Material Master Maintenance
    The base unit of measure cannot be changed.
    The reasons for this are:
    Independent requirements are already assigned to the material.
    Plant MRP area
       JK01  
    I can't find the independent requirements so can't delete it.
    Hope someone can give me advise.
    Very thanks for help.

    You can also see the planned ind. req. for  your material from Txn. MD63                                                                               
    If you delete the ind. reqs. no longer appear when you access via trans.       
    MD62/MD63.  However, the records are still in table PBIM with a                
    deletion flag set on field LOEVR, so,  you have to do the planned              
    independent requirements reorganization as described in note 135807.                                                                               
    I hope this can help you !!!

  • Activate Change Document - Product Master Data

    Hi Experts,
    I am looking for comments on the following things. I hope the experts could share experience related to real time projects that you have worked / are working.
    I am considering the option to activate Change Documents for Product Master data, Product Location Master data and Transportation Lanes.
    Question I have (Please answer on any or all of the questions, if you can):
    1. Have you activated change documents on Product Master data? If so, how many products you have in total (number of entries in /SAPAPO/MATKEY)?
    Have you turned it off later due to performance reasons? Or Storage/hardware constraints?
    2. Do you have the change documents active on Location product master data? How many location products do you have in total (no. of entries in /SAPAPO/MATLOC)?
    3. Transportation lanes - Change documents activated? Does it also say if the external procurement relationship is activated or deactivated and the user who did this and date? How many transportation lanes do you have in total? Is there a possibility to activate the change documents on transportation lanes only for those which are procured from external vendors (not for Stock transfers... only for those arrives in from Suppliers)?
    Thanks,
    Suresh

    Hi Satish,
    Thanks for your reply
    2 more question:
    1. Are you logging the changes to all fields of product/product-location master data? Or you are logging only some of the data like: Product UoM changes / Product Header / etc?
    2. Also, regarding transportation lanes, does it also say who activated or deactivated the external procurement relationship and when?
    Thanks,
    Suresh

  • Transferring Product Master Data Changes From APO to ECC/R/3

    Is it possible to transfer product master data changes in APO to ECC via the CIF?  If so, does it require custom coding?

    Hi James,
    In all the different clients where APO is being used with ECC systems. ECC system is always the main system (system of record) which contains all the master data and data present in ECC supposed to be the reference for APO system for planning purpose.
    Generally it is not recommended to transfer master data from APO to ECC but as mentioned earlier by some experts you may have ways to do that.
    I would be interested in the business scenario where one needs to transfer master data from APO to ECC.

  • How to change product master data in GTS?

    Hi Experts,
       I want to change additional data of a product master in GTS.
       I want to update the values in the screen below (Additional data)
       How can I do this? are there any function modules?
       Please help.
    Thanks
    Gopal

    Hi Gopal, guys
    Sorry if i`m repeating what someone else said before as its a long thread.
    The preferable option that we implemented is a small custom Z transactio where users maintain these attributes. Selection screen same as the ususal /sapsll/product_02, and then get the PRGEN entry and maintain on second screen.
    Using the API FM used for ECC system sync... well maybe its a bit unnecessary & overcomplicated. Once you get the Product Object, you can use the maintain object/ maintain subobject methods that is standard and works without simulating inbound api call..
    heres the screenshot
    Hope this helps,
    UPDATE : Mind you, that if you do changes to the attributes in GTS, they will stay for as long as there is no new update for the material in ECC...
    Once a change pointer or manual transfer triggers a re-transfer, manuall changes will most likely be flushed and set back to what comes from ECC api.. just bear this in mind pls & test this case...
