Creation of Basic unit of measure

Hai Guru,s
when i am going to create MM01 basic UOM PC does not exit...........when i go create UOM pc in T.code :CUNI unit of measure Tab besides what i have to select like MASS.............so...on
Thanks&regards

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,
Amit

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

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,

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
4. Examine the message
If you have question please come back!

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.

Creation of new unit of measurment

Gurus
How to crete the new unit of measurment which can be used for conversion and what are the tcode.
Atul Kulkarni

Hi,
You can create UoM's by using transaction CUNI.
Check for the right dimension under which the new UoM falls under..e.g.Assign the SI unit (In each dimension, a unit is defined as the SI unit. This is the basis for the conversion from one unit to another.) to the dimension if required.
Create a ISO code.The ISO code is important for EDI. It is used to convert the internal SAP measurement units into standard measurement units.
Define UoM: Be aware to give the correct commercial as well as Technical unit,the commercial unit is used in SAP whereas technical unit you can use in EDI,IDoc.You can assign the ISO code while defining UoM's.Hope this helps!

Reservation Creation in Issue Unit of Measure

Hi,
I have a product whose component has Base Unit of Measure as EACH and Issue unit of Measure is PIECE. ( 5 Piece = 1 Each) .In BOM we maintain as PIECE and in Work Scheduling view of materialMaster issue unit is maintained as PIECE. Now the issue is, when I create an order reservation is created in EACHs. (Base Unit of Measure) and same appears in Stock requirement list also.
If my Order issue Qty. is 2 PIECEs but still Reservation will be created for 1 EACH ( 5 Pieces) which upsets the requirement figure for the components.
Please suugest me if there are any ways out so that Reservation is created for Issue Unit of Measure so that correct quantity of measure can be seen....
Thanks in advance

Not sure whether it will help you.
Have you maintained the relationship in MM in Additional uom tab.
Also check t code CUNI if any conversion factor you can mention there.

Divraj

Units of measure are different

Hi friends,
I am trying to reverse the material document and its giving me erros as below please suggest how to solve this
Units of measure LB / EA are different
Message no. M7182
Diagnosis
The stockkeeping unit contained in the material document to be cancelled is not the same as the stockkeeping unit contained in the material master record. However, a document can only be cancelled if the stockkeeping units are identical.
System Response
In this case, the system will not cancel the material document.
Procedure
To carry out the reversal, re-enter the given transaction using the relevant reversal movement type.

Vishal

Hi,
Sales Unit is basically Unit of measure in which the material is sold. A value in this field significes that you want to use a unit of measure differing from the base unit of measure.
If the field does not contain an entry, the system will assume that the unit of measure is the base unit of measure.
Whereas, Base Unit of Measure in which stocks of the material are managed. The system converts all the quantities you enter in other units of measure (alternative units of measure) to the base unit of measure.
You define the base unit of measure and also alternative units of measure and their conversion factors in the material master record.
Now, if you change Sales Unit (as you can't Change Base unit of Measurement*), System will prompt the canged Sales Unit as an alternative to BaseUoM at time of Sales Doc. Creation.
IMP: You can't change UoM in Sales Doc, once subsequent processes are carried-out.

Amit.

MB5B - Stock on posting date show in other Unit of measure

Dearl All,
Pls support me this case: I would like to see this report (MB5B - Stock on posting date) in other Unit of measure.
This report shows stock in Basic Unit only.
E.g
Material A, base unit = M, other unit = ROL
Report needs show stock in ROL.
How can I do that?
Thank you vry much!
Cao Huy.

Hi,
In your case, order unit as ROL and material basic unit of measure is M.
PO created only for the order unit ROL, and goods have received from the vendor based on the PO order unit.
So,this MB5B stock on posting date is displayed only the total stock received based on the received GR order unit qty .
stock also managed only ROL unit of measues. it is not possible to list based on the M stock unit.

Hi
Please maintain the translation in the Following Configuration
Logistics - General->Material Master->Configuring the Material Master->Define Structure of Data Screens for Each Screen Sequence
Select the Specific Screen Sequence & Maintain the languages
Similarly please maintain the Translations in the Transaction CUNI for the Base UOM in respective languages

Numerator in Unit of Measure not big enough

Hi,
The numerator, field UMREZ, of the unit of measure has a maximun lenght of 5 digits ( maximum of 99999 ). But for certain conversion I need (in MM02-> aditional data->tab units of measure):
120000 EA = 1 ROL
How can I do this without entering something bigger than 99999?
I have thought in three alternatives:
1.- Modification of that data domain, so that it can be stored up to 999999.
2.- Use decimals in the denominator , so that I have something like 12000 EA = 0,1 ROL.
3.- With an auxiliar unit of measure EA2 ( created via CUNI, linked to EA): 10 EA2 = 1 EA :::::and then::::: 120000 EA2 = 1 ROL.
I havent been able to complete the 2nd and the 3rd. ANd I want to avoid the first...
Do you know if something like this can be done? if so, how????
I have found post UOM conversion not big enough but I could not find any usefull answer in there ...
Many thanks in advance.
Aaron

Hi,
Yes, I had already read this note, thanks for the info anyways.
They describe exactly my case:
Example 3: Too large numerators and denominators
                       When 120000 CM3 = 0,2 tons (TO), you can no longer save numerator and denominator of conversion ratio 600000 CM3 = 1 TO as numerator and denominator may have maximally five digits.
                       Here, you must either select a larger volume unit or a smaller unit of weight: With DM3 the conversion ratio would be 600 DM3 = 1 TO, with KG the conversion ratio would be 600 CM3 = 1 KG.
                       Generally, the alternative units of measure and the base unit of measure should result in quantities that are in the same dimension since the conversion factors may not be larger than 99999/1 and not smaller than 1/99999.
But I can not change the Basic Unit of Measure, because the Material has already movements, and I dont know how to create another unit of measure (let say EA2) linked to EA with a the value 1 EA2 = 10 EA. In this case I could use EA2 in the material with the conversion 12000 EA2 = 1 ROLL.
Is this possible? How can I create this unit? in CUNI I can create a new UOM but I dont see how to link it with an existing one ( create a conversion between them ) .
Thanks!!

Purchase Order original Unit of Measure should be displayed in inventory?

Dear Gurus,
Here the situation is say a material M having a basic unit of measure EA(each). At the time of Purchasing the material M we are purchased in Packs say 1 pack = 10 EA. But the order quantity units is displayed in EA.
But here in my scenario i want to see the stock in inventory as Packs .
So, guru's is there any kind of flash lights will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Madhu.G

Hi Madhu,
As I said in my earlier reply, you either can create a Variant of MMBE by having required PO UoM in field-Display UoM on selection screen of MMBE.
Or else, just execute MMBE and after having output of MMBE, press keyboard key-F6. System will come up with a window showing all Alternative UoM maintained for a particular material. Select the one in which you want to display the Inventory/Stock.

Unit of measure and mb1a issue

Dear Experts,
In our plant we are using Tape BOPP for taping the Boxes. So please tell me if we want to use unit of measurement as EA then what should we mentioned the component qty for one box in EA. At present our company has maintained the component qty as 0.4 EA for 1 box.
And following the conversion factor which are maintained in mm01 through additional data screen.
1 ROL = 1 ROL
65 meter = 1 ROL
1 EA = 1 ROL
But while doing mb1a system is taking the qty as 1 EA instead of 0.4 EA. please suggest how to overall this problem.
Regards,
Phalgun patel

The problem is that reservation is always made in the basic unit of measure (EA), which have no decimals in the standard SAP.
You must choose between:
a) using the smaller unit of measure (meters) as suggested by SAP, and EA an altenative UoM
b) define a new UoM called ED or similar (transaction CUNI), which a copy of EA but allowing decimal places.

Reg: Unit of measure with respect to stock keeping and BOM

Dear Friends,
i need one input regarding BOM.
For one of the material we are keeping stock in KG(UOM). But at the time of goods issue we need to issue interms of
EA.(UOM) .In BOM for this material i need to keep basic Unit of measur as EA. So please let me know where can i maintain this
conversion factor.
Thank u in advance.

Dear Sir,
Please go to Basic data tab of the material nad than select the additional data, herer you may defuind the alternate unit iof measurenment.Also you can make anew unit alternate of measurement by CUNI.
