Create characteristc with multiple units of measure

Hello Friends,
I want to create characteristic (CT04) which has multiple units of measure.  At present  a  Characteristic is created with a single unit of Measure. I have to create characeristic and assign it in MIC. MIC specifications are customer dependent. Customer may give specifications in different unit of measure. While creating sales order, I am entering the specifications for characteristics, as material is created with varient.
I am creating Single Characteristic multiple times for different Unit of Measure and assigning it to the class.
Therefore according to the Customer requirment and his specifed Unit of Measure, that Characteristic is choosen having same UoM as of Customer.
Insead of doing this, Is it possible to assign multiple units of measure to single characteristic?
Waitng for reply!
Regards,
Kiran

Hi,
With Multiple Unit Of measures, I don't think its possible.
You can Use CHAR for characteristics, to Use.
Instead for Fixed Units. Let Marketing/sales Enter the req.
But you shall make it Multiple Selection, Since you can use them in Selection Condition.
Hope this is Useful.

    What UOM's are we talking about?
    Are you talking about ppm vs. %? Or ppm vs. ppb?
    SAP can make some of these conversion automatically.  I encourage clients to standardize what their lab people report on in inspection lots.  I.e. they should always record ppm or always record % in the inspection lots.
    In the certificates you can use the certificate profile to change the UOM actually reported on the COA to the customer. So you can record by ppm in the lab, but in the cert for the characteristic, you indicate that it should be reported in %.  The system will automatically make this conversion for you.
    If you are talking somethign like screens, I recommend doing all in the lab as either thru or on and doing calculated characterisitcs to calculate the opposite for those customers that want thru instead of on, or vice versa.

  • Create STO with order unit of measure

    Hello,
    Is there a way to create Plant to plant STO with ordering unit of measure? Based on our customization we are not able to use Unit of issue from supplying plant and we also cant have base unit of measure in the STO.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    thanks!

    Hi,
       Please refer the KBA:  1980679 - Why the field 'Unit of Issue' of the supplying plant is taken in STO?  which explains the standard design. The unit of issue in the supplying plant has the highest priority in case of intra company STO and there is no configuration option to change it as of my knowledge. If you need to alter the standard behavior, you may check the feasibility of development. You may check the BAdI: ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST

  • Need Multiple Units of Measure for a given material due to multiple vendors

    Hello,
    We have a requirement where we must have multiple units of measue (each, box, case, pallet) for a given material.
    Background:
    We have multiple vendors for one SAP material number. We need to store 4 levels of units of measure for each vendor+material combination.
    Unit of Meaure levels
    1. Each
    2. Innerpack (ex: 12 each = 1 innerpack)
    3. Box (ex: 36 eaches = 1 box)
    4. Pallet (ex: 100 eaches = 1 pallet)
    Standard SAP allows in MM01 additional data --> Units of Measure only 1 Ea, Box, Plt, etc.
    Our requirement is to allow multiple Units of Measure due to multiple vendors providing the same material.
    So, our unique combination is by a Material+Vendor.
    We are considering adding the vendor name and vendor number to the material master --> additional data --> Units of Measure tab.
    Does this seem like a good solution? What impacts do you foresee with approach?
    Any alternatve solutions?
    We thought we could enhance the purchasing info records to allow multiple units of measure too but then we need to also add many fields to hold the weight, lenght, height, width, volume, country of origin, etc.
    Please recommend a best practice or solution to handle this requirement.
    Thanks in advance!!!

    Hi,
    Maintain the alternative units in Material Master in Additional Data -> Units of Measure section with proper conversion factors.
    Create individual info-records i.e. per mtl-vendor combination & in the info-record maintain the order unit, along with other details as required.
    Now when you create a PO, the details will be read from the info-record. To test the same, create them in your sandbox & see if it meets your requirement.
    Hope the above clarifies your query.
    Regards,

  • 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.

  • Multiple Unit of Measure in SAP BO

    We have a requirement to use multiple unit of measures from one of our client whose business concern is manufacturing and tenneries.
    We want to measure inventory in units and in meters at same time. For example, if one new unit measuring 50 metres is received in warehouse then it should be measured in units as well as in metres. If the last quantity in warehouse was 50 pcs with 600 metres then after the one unit addition it should update the inventory to 51 pcs with 650 metres.
    Is there a solution or way we can use SAP BO with multiple UOM.

    Hi,
    In B1 8.8, you can use multiple unit of measure but it will be displayed in the sales marketing document and purchase document.
    The stock UOM can't be managed by multiple UOM.
    When you see field UOM in the item master data --> inventory tab, you can only enter one UOM there.
    In the document level, you can maintain multiple UOM for the item or inventory. If you have defined the conversion of the UOM, it will be automatically calculated.

  • Multiple Units of Measurements for a single item

    Hi all,
    How do I maintain multiple units of measurements for a single Item/  I have a scenario where purchase orders are being made for sand in Metric Tons, Tons, Kgs and Cubit Feets.  Each measurement is being used at each construction site of the company but the item is single sand.   One more problem is here with the material reconciliation of stock since it is maintained in different units of measurement and conversion from unit to other is problematic.
    Thanks

    Hi YSvee Reddy ,
    Julie is correct in saying that this feature will be available in version 8.8, currently in Ramp-up.
    Please see the [8.8 landing page |https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000705857&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000183&_ADDINC=011000358700001192682007E&]for a link to the 'What's new' document.
    You can contact your LPE to discuss participation in Ramp-up.

  • Price by multiple unit of measure

    I have a requirement to price in multiple units of measure for the same material number.  For example material # 12345
    1 Box = $500
    1 Ea   = $1.50
    1 Box = 500 ea
    Customer orders 501 each of material 12345 on one line item of the sales order.  Requirement is to price at $501.50 not $501.00 
    I have tried to use condition supplements without success.  Does anyone have suggestions without using pricing requirements or forumals of how this requirement can be met?

    hello, atul and friends.
    i think interval pricing alone may not be enough, but definitely it could be part of the solution.  (ms. gina, please confirm if i understood the requirement correctly)
    let's say the customer orders 999 units, which will translate to 1 box and 499 loose units.  the pricing will be something like:
    $1 per unit times 999 units = $999.00
    $0.10 per unit times 499 units loose = $49.90
    total should be $ $1048.90
    however, if order is 1000 units, pricing will be:
    $500 time 2 boxes = $1000.00
    so, the "surcharge" of $0.10 applies only to the loose units.  but in the order, the quantity is entered either in boxes or units.  the challenge is to create condition records that recognize this packing/grouping option.  interval pricing must be supported by a feature that can recognize capacity.
    regards!

  • 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.

  • Multiple units of measure (UoM) inventory 8.8

    Anybody have any documentation on the multiple units of measure feature in 8.8.  I have done the delta training but I can't see it in the current version I have installed (PL09). 
    Do I have to update to PL10 to get this feature?  Does it not exist anymore?  Or am I missing something?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Thank you for trying to help but unfortunately you are all not exactly correct on this...
    I spoke to SAP and the functionality described in the 8.8 Delta video using strawberries as an example is misleading.
    The new feature allows you to change Items Per Purchase Unit / Items Per Sales Unit on the document dynamically even if there are transactions to the item.
    2007 and below locked the items per purchase / items per sales unit after a single transaction.
    So the setup for this is NOT in the item master data it is a field called Items Per Unit in the marketing documents.  The items per unit becomes the default but you can modify it for each document dynamically.
    I made a simple dropdown list UDF and an FMS that allowed me to select different lengths and whatnot.  And the FMS would input the correct conversion rate into the Items Per Unit field.
    So for a purchasing (in this case a purchase order) example we store this particular unit in metric tonnes but we occasionally buy it in 25kg bags / 2200kg totes, etc. For the 25kg bags each bag would be 0.025 metric tonnes (mt).  So when the dropdown says 25kg bag, the FMS inputs 0.025 in the items per unit field.  Then when we say 100 bags, it would put them into inventory at 100 (qty) * 0.025 (items per unit) = 2.5 mt.  In this case we inventory the item in metric tonnes and sell it in metric tonnes so it's a simple example only on the purchase side.
    The only caveat to this is that the price doesn't dynamically change with the items per unit, but you could either make an FMS for that as well, or simply type it in manually.
    This is for 8.8 ONLY not 2007.
    There is no real documentation or training on this currently but I have confirmed this with SAP and used it in the system.
    Hope this helps,
    Mike

  • 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.

  • Unable to create PO with multiple line items through LSMW-BAPI method

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement of creating PO through LSMW. I can't use LSMW standard batch input program since there are some fileds not available and also it has many limitations. I'm using LSMW-BAPI method ( Business object BUS2012) which create IDOC and uses BAPI_PO_CREATE1 to ultimately post the PO in the system. I am trying to create PO from a single file which contains both Header and Item data.
    Now my problem is that everytime PO is being created with Single line item only. Everytime I am giving multiple item data in the source file LSMW is preparing multiple IDOCs for multiple line items. As per my understanding this is happenng since header and item is in the same hierarchy level of IDOC type PORDCR102 and the control record is inserted for every line item in the source file.
    It seems that through LSMW-BAPI  it is not possible to create PO with multiple line items. Can anybody provide some input regarding this? Thanks in advance.
    BR,
    Atanu Mukherjee

    Solved by myself.
    Earlier the problem was that LSMW was not being able to recognize items under same header. It was creating new IDOCs every time it gets a new item. To enable this we need to create two structure HEADERDATA and ITEMDATA.  Two additional identifier fields with identifier value 'H' and 'I' should be added in these two structures respectively. Then we need one sequential file with the identifiers field followed by the header and Item data. Example:
    H~header data
    I~item data
    I~item data 
    This would help the standard program to understand what are the items under same header and ultimately create PO with multiple line items.
