Creation of new unit of measurment

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!

Addition: New Units of Measurement

Dear All,
I think, its MM-related query. However, I am sharing it with all you people.
I need to add new Units of Measurements, like RIM, which are not configured in Standard SAP-Sysem.
Where do i congigure the same (Path & T. Code)?
Also, what are other significant pre-requirements for configuring new Units of Measurements?
Thanks and Best Regrds,

New Unit of measures & ISO codes

Hello,
We are currently trying to create some new unit of measure in our system which will be used in QM module and are very specific. For this reason, we can't find any corresponding ISO code in our SAP system. SO we have a few question about this point :
1) Could you tell us which UoM is ISO or not among the above list ? For ISO UoM, could you give us the corresponding 3 digits code (field T006I- ISOCODE) we will need to use to create them into our system?
o   AE :                                       Amylogram Equivalent
o   °BX :                                     Brix Degree
o   Cfu/m3:                              Colony Forming Unit per m3
o   IU/kg :                                 International Unit per Kilogram
o   meq/kg :                            Milli Equivalent per Kilogram (WHO-TEQ)
o   µg/100g :                            Microgram per 100 grams
o   mL/100g :                           Milliliter per 100 grams
o   pg WHO-TEQ/g :             Picogram per Gram
o   g/mL :                                  Gram per Milliliter
2) Is it possible to add some new ISO codes in this SAP standard table (T006C)? On your side, do you update the content of this standard table (update of the content of the standard table) and dispatch it to your customer?
3) Do you have a website or SAP transaction referencing the entire official ISO codes you've registered?
In this website link(http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SI/UnitofMeasurerelatedsettingsinSAP), you are redirecting us to an ISO reference website in part I.2.(http://www.unece.org/etrades/codesindex.htm ) which is not working anymore
Thanks in advance for your help.

CUNI - Creation of new unit - error Unit is not created in language EN

Dear BI community,
We have created via transaction CUNI a new unit. Everything looks fine - it appears in the unit of measurement and the conversion works.
The problem only occurs when we check it in table T006A by example. When looking for it we get the following error message
"Unit is not created in language EN".
We have tried the "translation" option of CUNI but when we select another from language than EN we get not value.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Rodolphe

Hi All
We have the same issue.
Please let us know how could you fix this issue.

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

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.

Creation of New Base Unit of Measure

Hi Forum, does anyone have any detail on how to go about creating new units of measure and what to look out for? Any documentation would be appreciated.
I know the Tcode (CUNI) and to copy certain existing BuM's but was wondering about the ISO and whether i actually need to apply for this as we wont be using EDI with our Vendors. Any best practice or guidance to be aware of would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Dan

Generally, if you are creating new Uom same as like exisitng one and you are not using the EDI than you are file with ISO code but if you are planning to use EDI than you can search for ISO code on Google. If the Uom is standard other wise you have to use the exisitng which can match some percentage to your Uom

Creation of Unit of Measure

Dear All,
I want to create new unit of measure QUARTER.
The Tocde to be used is CUNI.
What to create in Dimesnsions,ISO Codes,Units of Measurement?
Please explain.
Regards

hi
>Dimesnsions
it is the dimentions in which ur unit will fit
like MASS ,POWER etc.
>ISO Codes
it wil be the unique key to identify ur UOM
it is create as UOM std
>Units of Measurement
it iwll be ur UOM with dimentions and ISO code

Pricing Procedure for diffrent unit of measure for diffrent product

1) Existing Pricing procedure --> Condition type based on Quantity
2) Existing Product --> Sales Unit & Base Unit of Measurement is in NOS ( Numbers )
3) New Product ( Belt ) ---> Pricing of product based on weight
ex :--> Rubber Belt --> 1 belt = 11.50 kg , Price = Rs. 100/ kg
As the production of material will go on weight of Belt will reduce in range of 11.50 to 11 kg . For different batch of production weight will change
every time weight of material will be calculated and price will be charged on basis of net weight ( Kg)
4) New product is assigned to new division ( it will bw sold in new division only )
Question
1) What should be Base Unit / Sales Unit of measurement ?
2) Do we need to create new pricing procedure or existing pricing procedure will work ?
for new product we need to create new condition type for which calculation type will be Net Weight .
3) do we need to do any customization for this ?
Exice people say that if pricing is done in KG (Net weight ) they want to see stock in KG
Management want to see stock in KG & Numbers

May be you can Create a New Unit Of Measure called ZPC. For using ZPC you need to assign Additional Base Unti Of Measure as ZPC in your Material Masters as well.
Use ZPC to create your condition records of pricing and in Sales order you will still have Unit of Measure as PC which the management wants to see..
Similarly you can create Constion records for new product based on Kg.

Unit of measure in BOM

Hi...
I have one problem with unit of measure in BOM.
We can maintain item quantity upto 3 decimal point.My problem is with one of material having consumption of 0.01042 for 1pc of header material.
Due to constraint in maintining decimal point in BOM we maintained it as 0.011 & it leads to undesired result after BOM explosion.
I know there is one way of going with base qty. of header to be changed.
Suggest other else?How to get out of this.....
Regards
Tushar

Hi Brhamankar...Thanx for your valuable i/p.
We have got solution to the said problem as below(Without increasing the base quantity of header)...
1)Create new unit of measure say TP
2)Maintain it as alternate unit of measure with conversion as 1000TP=1042PC in material master of that component
3)Maintain the quantity in BOM as 0.01TP
4)Make plan entry for header level say for 50000
5)After MRP run , procurement proposal for component as 521PC(Previously it was 550PC because restriction of 3 decimal point, in BOM rounded with 0.01042 =0.011PC)
6)After MFBF, material consumption is also found ok

Risk in populating Unit of measure for commodity code (foreign trade) in ECC

We have recently implemeted product classification in GTS for the EU and US. We want to implement the transfer of tariff data from GTS to ECC via the standard GTS transactions /SAPSLL/SWN_RTR and /SAPSLL/SWN_RTR_R3.
Our compliance team is concerned about beginning to populate the unit of measure commodity code in ECC. I know this field is only visible when a supplementary unit is on the tariff number and is different than the base unit of measure on the material master. These additional units of measure must be configured in order for the XML tariff files to load properly.
One concern that has come up is the conversion of the base UoM to the new unit of measure from the tariff files. Are there other issues/risks I need to be aware of? My understanding is this unit is used only when reporting the products to the customs authorities.
I appreciate any guidance you can give me.

Hello Alison,
We implemented this, however, made an enhancement not to transfer the UOM to ECC. Our consultants are unable to clearly articulate the use of UOM in classification. I still have not have a complete grasp of UOM with classification. One thing we constantly run into, is job fails when external/internal UOM is not maintained during transfer of classification from GTS to ECC. Since we are not transferring UOM to ECC, we are now considering enhancement, so we do not have to maintain internal/external UOM from the files we receive from Customs Info. We have had a number of issues trying to figure out what to maintain as internal UOM for UOM sent by Customs Info. There is no ISO code to cross reference and makes it very difficult to figure this out.
Another thing that you need to be aware off - if you have products that is not classified in GTS and you have classification maintained in ECC, you can overwrite ECC values with blanks- the product master change/update date (for anything - not just classification) is picked up by the re-transfer job. We are currently making enhancements in the commodity code retransfer program, only to transfer when there is a value in GTS for classification.
I see Dave's message above " UoM is necessary for the calculation that supports your sourcing decisions as well as for your declarations to the authorities". I am really interested to understand the function of UOM in classification.

Padma

BOM Unit of measure.

Hi gurús,
I want to include a material in a material list with a different unit of measure than the base unit of measure recorded in the material info record.
I tried creating a new unit measure in the additional data at the material info record, but then, when I include the material with the new unit of measure in the material list, the system display an error message (A) as the following:
"Unit of measure KG not supported for material XXA in plant AAB"
I would like to know how to include a material in a material list with a different unit of measure.
Example:
Material 100
Base unit of measure: UN
CS02
Additional data --> Unit of measure: KG
CS02 --> Material 100 with unit KG.
The system display error message (A).
Thanks in advance
