Decimal unit in Bom

dear gurus,
when i enter quantity in BOM in decimal for eg. 0.0001 gm,system do not accept more than 3 decimal is there any setting bom itself to increase this decimal. please suggest solution,
points will be rewarded...
regards
Pravin

Hi
The system setting is 3 decimal places only.
In your BOM if the base qty is 1 then u need to enter 0.0001.
change the base qty to 100 or 1000 and enter 0.01 or 0.1 insted of changing the decimal places.
This will solve ur problem.
This is required as u never use 0.0001 in real production.

    Dear SAP PP,
    In standard SAP the syetm allows you to maintain only upto 3 decimal places.
    For configuring the units use T Code CUNI
    To solve your problem,refere these links and decide.

  • Decimal quantity in BOM

    Dear Gurus,
    Need Urgent help. We want to use decimal quantity in BOM componenets. If base unit of measurement PC is used then system not allowing to use but if PCS is used then system allows to use decimal quantity. Please let us know other repurcussions of using decimal quantity in BOM. We are having following concerns while using PC
    1. Practically issuing material in decimal to production order is not possible.
    2. if system round off the quantity then there will be variance in planned cost & actual cost
    What could be the effect in other modules if PCS is used.
    Regards,
    SAP CONS

    In SAP R/3 all quantity fields use the domain MENG13 so even though your unit PC is not allowing any decimals it is still storing the values with 3 decimal places. If you do not mention any value in decimal rounding in transaction code CUNI (Table T006-ANDEC) it will take the rounding value as 0 decimal places. If you do not mention any value in Decimal places CUNI (T006-DECAN) it will display zero decimals. BUT internally it storing it as 1.000. In the BOM you will just see it as 1
    So as per knowledge it should not affect anything. You  can go ahead and change the PC in CUNI and set both values "Decimal places" and "Decimal pl. rounding" to 3.

  • How to maintain decimal places in BOM Qty & what is the essence of base qty

    Hello PP members
    How to maintain decimal places in BOM Qty & what is the essence of base quantity in BOM ?
    Thank You

    ur first question is not understood, You can have maximum of 3 decimals in BOM item qty.
    Base qty is the qty which is refered to all the BOM items.
    example -
    Product X, base qty 1
    Raw material 1 - componen t qty= 1
    Raw material 2 - Component qty= 5
    This means To produce Product with qty1, it needs raw material 1 qty 1  and raw material 2 qty 5.
    This means To produce Product with qty10, it needs raw material 1 qty 10  and raw material 2 qty 50.
    This is the meaning of Base qty..it is the referece qty refered to all the components.
    About the decimal places
    let us say  example 2
    To produce Product with qty1, it needs raw material 1 qty 1  and raw material 2 qty .0001.
    When you enter this in SAP for the raw materialm 2 system will give error message that you  need to enter the qty with maximum 3 decimal places, hence you need to enter as below
    Product with qty10, it needs raw material 1 qty 10  and raw material 2 qty .001.
    This is how you need to adjsut the base qty and component qty with decimalplaces moer than 3,

  • Can not put decimal quantity in BOM quantity

    Hi all,
                 while go to put decimal quantity in BOM quantity, sytem is not allowing me. It is only allowing me to put only integer number.
    with regards,
    partha

    Partha,
    Is it an error or warning message. Like Suhas said it might be due to User settings. Change the format for numbers to decimal (middle one) in User settings.
    IF it is a warning message it may be that the UOm does not support decimals as per customizing. Check in CUNI.

  • Decimal Places in BOM

    Dear All
    How can i increase decimal places of components in BOM as it is taking only three decimal but i want to add upto 6 decimal. I mean i want to add component qty as 8.785642 in BOM. so how can i enter it

    Dear Ahmad,
    Go to transaction CUNI, Click on unit of measurement, select ur unit of measure(ex: M/L/KG etc) for which u want to maintain 6 decimals, In decimal places field maintain 6. come back and create BOM.
    test and come back

  • Component unit in BOM

    Hi ,
    I have a product whose base unit is KG. In the bill of material we are maintaining as G(because qty is very less).
    When i run the MRP this quantity is getting rounded to 1.0.
    What do i need to check .
    Regards
    ShankarR

    Normally the base UoM is the lowest measurable unit. Since you have maintained KG for this, give this a try in your sandbox to check if it works in your business context.
    For the BOM header maintain a base unit say as 1000 or 10,000 then in the component for this material which is maintained in grams increase the qty in relation to the base qty. which you have maintained for the header.
    Now load demand & check if it meets your need.

  • Qty with more than 3 decimal places in BOM

    HI ALL,
    CAN I PUT QTY IN BOM WITH MORE THAN 3 DECIMAL PLACES ITS VERY URGENT REQUIREMENT.
    THANKS
    R SEHGAL

    Dear Rakesh
    I am not sure, but you can try this
    1. Define one more UOM for example 4dec then in MM02 give the conversion of 4dec to your 3 decimal, give conversion in it. for eg 10*3dec = 4 dec
    2. Now when you define bom enter quantity in 3dec(i,e, multiplying by 10) and then convert the uom in BOM to 4dec
    You can try and let us know your feedback

  • 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

  • Decimal place support in BOM for R11i

    Hi, does anyone can enable higher precision upto 9 decimal place in BOM, existing only 6 decimal place support in component quantity but ct would need more. Does R11i (11.5.4) support more than 6 decimal place in BOM? if it can, how to setup.
    Thanks in advance.

    HI Indraneel,
    Both are important. When you upload any data and create PO,So this will be important .Similarly oy04 also.It is not allowed to change this manually.This is maintained as per the country currency.

  • BOM Unit Different from Base Unit of Measure

    Dear PP Experts,
    I have following Scenario in some of wires which are .
    Base Unit of Measure - Coil
    Conversion Factor
    1 Coil - 100 Metres (Already Maintained in mm01)
    Suppose, one manufacuring item consist of 0.5 Metre of Wire. We want to use Metre in BOM, how can we use it.
    Please help, full points if helped.
    Ishu

    Dear,
    In material master you maintin alternate unit as meter in plant data/storage 1 as unit of issue This will default this unit in BOM item
    In the BOM, in the component enter the above material code and enter the qty as 0.5. system will default meter as the unit of measure in BOM.
    Please come back if required

  • Unit of measure - rounding off during creation of planned order

    Dear All,
    We have defined one material OIL in MM41 and its UoM is EA also we have put alternative UoM is L(liter).
    now we create BOM of semifinished material we use this oil as a component and enter its value in decimal points.
    e.g 0.375 EA
    During planned order creation or REM backflush system convert this quantity to 1 EA ,WE dont want this automatic conversion .
    We have uploaded all master data in production and now it is very difficult to change all BOM
    So what is the solution of this that system can not convert qty (rounding off).EA
    Kindly reply
    Sunil

    Hi Sunil,
    IN CUNI Transaction Field Decimal Places is for displaying the decimals,there is a decimal place Rounding off field below,there try to maintain 3 decimals and check whether it is working.
    One more thing is Unit EA will be used always as non decimal unit,But i dont know in your buisness how for unit EA there is a decimal qty

  • More than 3 decimal in Bill of Material component quantity

    I want to know whether we can use more than 3 decimals in quantities in Bill of Material. I heard that it was an issue in SAP but is that issue still exist in ECC 6.0.
    Regards

    Dear,
    During maintaing the unit of measure in T-code CUNI we can define No. of decimal places to which rounding should be performed which specifies the number of decimal places to which this measurement unit should be rounded.
    System will not allow more than 3 decimal places in satandard SAP.
    You can use a larger base quantity of 100 or 1000 in the BOM header (instead of 1).
    That would eliviate your issue with the 3 decimal places in the component quantity.
    SAP always takes the base quantity into account during requirements calculation.
    Hope clear to you.
