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

Create Characteristic 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!

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.

TLB-STO in alternative unit of measure

Hi All
We are planning in SNP in base unit of measure EA.But we want STO to be created via TLB in unit of measure CASE.
Is there is any way so that when we create STO it will create the same in alternative unit of mesure CASE in APO?
Or when STo get published to ECC it will convert to unit of mesure cases?
I have already maintained ordering unit of measure in ECC at destination location but it is useful for normal Purchase orders not for STO coming from TLB.
Thanks
Hrishikesh

Hi,
You can create new Planning area with UOM as CASE.
In SNP Global setting, change TLB UOM as Planning Area.
EXecute TLB in this planning area.
We have done similar setting.
Do let me know if you need any help on this.

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.

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.

Purchase order unit of measure

If my base unit of measure is Metres(M), and without changing the base unit of measure if i want the purchase order to pick up KG , where all do i have to do the settings like in config or Material master record. If its material master record, then where inside material master record.
My proces here starts with PR ? So how should it be done that KG is picked up in PR also.
Where are the settings for purchase order unit of measure done(UoM) ?

hi
Goto MM02
Give the material and other required data
select PURCHASING view
In General data, next to ORDER UNIT there is a Variable Purchase Order Unit
Check on that
Activation of the variable purchase order unit.
The information from the field in the material master record is adopted in the purchasing info record. In the purchase order and in the source list, you can enter an order unit that differs from the one in the purchasing info record.
If you wish to specify a different order unit for a requisition, you must assign a source with a different order unit to the requisition.
hope this will solve ur problem

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.

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 !

Production Order for a Material with two units of measure?

Hi Everybody I have the following issue.
In my company there is a new production process with a Material that should be configured in the master data with the field "Base Unit of Measure" as per unit (each). But the production process, should be confirmed by tx CO11N, in Kilograms. I know that I can use the additional Data in tx MM03 to set a Production Unit, but the value of convertion would be fixed. For example 122 Kg = 1 each, the thing is that the value in kilograms for each lot can vary, one lot can weight 122 and another one can weghr 125, and in each case I shoul have two units in stock. And as I have the value of convertion fixed, when I confirm each lot one for 122 kg and another for 125 kg I will have 2.025 units in MB52.
How can I solve this problems? I need to have the chance the confirm in kg changing for each lote the quantity but in the base Unit of Measure have one unit for lot. As if for tx CO11N I could have a field where I can set tha x quantity of Kilograms is x each.
Kind regards
Leandro.

Hi Ayoub, First thank`s for your promt answer,
1. The Quantity is different, because is not a perfect process, there is a manual work in the process that makes this quantity differ, there is no big difference, maybe a Kilo or Two but the production mannager wants to have this registered. And besides in productions they manage kilograms, but for selling the comercials manage units (each - EA)
2.The convertion rate is known at the end of the process after cutting and packaging a unit, they weight it.

Leandro

Convert between EDI order Unit of Measure to Base Unit of Measure

Hi all,
I am looking for a method whereby the following can be accomplished
- Customer orders certain products in LBS UOM...they have been quoted a per LB price and an equivalent CS price by sales and they choose to send EDI orders in LBS
- Base unit of measure for these products is in CS. Stocking unit is cases. Pricing also maintained in cases
- I've maintained alternative UOM in the MM records to convert LBS TO CASES
What i really want is for the customer to submit the EDI order specifying LBS but when the sales order is created i want the order lines in CS. I want to deliver and bill in CS as well. I do not want the sales units to be the units that the order was submitted in.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thomas,
We make creative use of the customer-material info record (CMIR) to do what you describe.
Standard functionality of the CMIR will allow the customer to send their internal SKU on an EDI PO, converting it to our SAP material number for use in the sales order.
We maintain a u201Cconversion factoru201D in the CMIR field called Search Term. We use an exit in the inbound IDoc processing code to apply the factor to the quantity ordered and the EDI1 price condition. For example, the factor u201C/006CASu201D would divide the customeru2019s order quantity by six and use CAS as the UOM on the sales order. The EDI1 price is multiplied by six, so that our CAS pricing matches up.
This allows any customer to order with their internal SKU and UOM, while we process the orders with our internal material numbers and preferred units.
An exit on the outbound process code allows us to use the same factor to change the values back into what the customer wants to see.
This works great in the consumer products industry, where we, the supplier, have to deal with inflexible customer EDI requirements.
Regards,
Ken

Conversion factor error in sales order - Unit of measure

Hi All,
I have uploaded a sales item in to sales order with alternate UoM. The base unit of measure for that material is TO but i have uploaded with a alternate UoM KG. After that i have created project deliveries, invoices and accounted those invoices in last financial year and now i found that the conversion factor which is taken by the system was wrong.
Instead of taking 1000 KG = 1 TO, system has taken 1KG = 1000 TO
I have checked the material master there there is no alternate UoM has maintained.
So now my concern is that
1. how i can correct this conversion factor with out disturbing my old transactions.
2. From where system is considered this conversion factor.
Thanks & Regards,
Bhadrarao.

Check your conversion factors in your Unit of Measure configuration. Transaction CUNI. Look at the unit of measures for Mass.
Best Regards,
Brian

TEXT material in Sales Order - Unit of Measurement is blank

We need to trigger a PR from a text item in sales order.
Only problem we are facing is an error message saying "Enter Order Unit". But there is no value in F4 help for order unit. There is no permissible value for unit of measure in F4 help, as it is derived from material master.

here is the exact requirement. We want to trigger a PR for procurement of services from a sales order. To trigger a PR for services and use service entry sheet for service confirmation we need to use item category D-Services in the PR and PO. Item category D does not allow a material to be entered as there will be no invetory tracking for this services. This is standard SAP property for item category D in the PR.
So to trigger a PR only with a text line from a sales order you need to have a sales order line item only with the text and trigger a schedule line category with the order type NB, Item category as D and account assignment category as R.
