Decimals regarding Unit of measurement

Dear Experts,
I'm facing to an issue related to the following unit of measure : KM and DAY.
I would like to add decimal places for these units of measure (3 places after decimal point) because actually it is 0 by default. I heard that it is not recommended.
These above units of measure are used in our material masters. And there are some open purchase orders, contracts for these materials.
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
houcinne

Hello Lakshman,
I agree with you for not changing this table. I think it's risky. So I've decided to use another unit of measure such as H (hour) and M (meter).
Best regards,

Decimals in unit of measure

Hi experts,
Although I have decimal places and decimal pl. rounding = 0 in CUNI for a unit of measure, the system allows me to use decimals. Does anyone know how to avoid this?
Thanks, Maria

Hi,
It is standard system behaviour to be able to input quantity with
decimal places during good movements, even if the corresponding unit of
measure has been defined with zero decimal places.
Please, kindly check the two attached notes 22043 and 77525, where it
is said that there is no rounding performed when you make a goods
movement and the system does not stop the user from entering a quantity
with decimal places.
These notes can be found in service market place

Decimal in Unit of Measure conversion

Hi Gurus,
I want to enter decimals in Unit of Measure conversion. System is giving the error that "Decimal not permitted". Actually the scenario is we have a material with KG as a base unit of measure. The ordering unit is "L" litre and the conversion factor is:
1 Litre = 0.792 KG
But when I am going to enter the conversion the system is not allowing to enter decimal. What I need to do in the configuration to enable the decimal entry.
Earliest response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

if 792 kg equal to 1000 ltr,
then 1 kg equals to 1,263 ltr.
when do you see this "conversion" to 12,62 litres? in ME21N after you entered 1 KG?
if yes, then your order unit is probably set to liter, further check if you have a rounding profile in material master or info record, that causes the switch from 1,26 to 12,62

Unit of Measurement - Client level Manteinance

Hello experts,
I pls need your help regarding Unit of measurement manteinance.
Is there any way to mantain CUNI transaction in a client level? I specifically need to mantain at that level the 'Control Parameters', maybe there could be a way to modify at a client level table T006 ( fields that need to be modified would be T006-KZKEH and T006-KZWOB ).
I would really appreciate your help!!!
Kind Regards.
Andres.

Hi,
if you already assigned unit of measure 'SU' to materials and done some transaction. now when you move changed transport to production system will not allow transaction for those material and give you an error.
in this case you need to change the unit of measure from the materials, but that is possible in following condition.
If there are no stocks of the material in the current period and in the previous period
If no purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements exist for the material
that means no open transaction for that material.
hope this will help you

Unit of measure EA allows transactions in decimals ? Is EA indivisible?

Unit of measure EA allows transactions in decimals ? Is EA indivisible?
There are two scenarios. While creating a Bill of material - based on the configuration (see below) if you enter a quantity with decimals for a part number for which the Basic UOM is EA the system displays a message "Unit of measure EA does not support decimal places" THIS IS GOOD AS EXPECTED
While transacting using MB1B, MB1C, MB1A, MFBF, MIGO or other transactions the system DOES NOT check and it is currently allowing us to post with decimals (1.25, 1.312) for part number for which the unit of measure is EA.
Was not EA supposed to be an indivisible unit of measure? why is the warning message getting activated while creating or changing a BOM and why not while transacting stock?
We have configured EA in the CUNI transaction as follows:
Int. meas. unit      EA
Commercial           EA              each
Technical            EA              each
Decimal places
float. point exp.
ISO code             EA
                                      Primary code
Numerator            1
Denominator          1
Exponent             0
Additive constant    0.000000       X Commercial meas.unit
Decimal pl. rounding                 Value-based commt
Unit of meas.family

you cannot restrict this behaviour with CUNI customizing, you can only check and stop this in a user exit.
SAP inventory managment allows and stores 3 decimals for any unit of measure. You can only define how it will show the value to the users and how it will round the decimals if it calculates the conversion. But if you enter manually with decimals, then SAP will not round this.
please read OSS Note 931971 - Decimal places in stocks and stock postings
and
Note 77525 - Quantity unit conversion in inventory management

Regarding Base Unit conversion to Unit of measure

Hi all ,
I have a Custom report which post the goods Issue .
The program uses tables mard and mska. In mard table fields used are mard-matnr, mard-labst,mard-Lagerort,mska-sobkz,mska-vbeln, mska-posnr,e mard-werks.
the program call mb1a for updating the data using Bdc .
<b></b>the problem is that the quantity of the stock is
shown only in the base unit of measure .. but some material have Alternative Unit of measure ... Its not taking Alternative Unit of measure ...
Any help is highly appreciated ..
Regards,
Amarnath Reddy.

Hi all ,
the program aim is to transfer the stock from the storage location with reference to order number from CO (cobl-aufnr).
In mard when i am able to c the unit of issue for the selected material number.
My question is in the report program sap is not looking for the unit of issue . It is only taking basic unit of issue ... Is there any way that program looks for the Unit of issue .

Hi Haritha,
do like this(this example is just for your reference)
    IF lv_line > '11'.
      PERFORM bdc_dynpro      USING 'SAPLCOIH' '3000'.
      PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'BDC_OKCODE'
                                    '=P+'.

Regarding Alternate Unit of Measure

Sir,
Is there a provision to create a material with an Alternate Unit of Measure apart from the Barse Unit of Measure?.
In this case what impact will the Alternate Unit of Measure have in the BOM?. How to configure the Alternate Unit of Measure of a Child Component in the BOM?.
Can anyone give a detailed explanation of the subject.
Regards,
R. Vijayakumar

Hi,
Use tcode MM01 and select Additional data field in top. In this select Unit of measure tab page.
Now enter the alt UOM with conversion factor.
In this case what impact will the Alternate Unit of Measure have in the BOM?.
In the BOM, you can assign only base unit. Alt UOM can not assign.
How to configure the Alternate Unit of Measure of a Child Component in the BOM?.
In the BOM, you can assign only base unit. Alt UOM can not assign.

Regarding unit measure of material

Dear Guru's,
I want to know the path for defining the new unit of measure for material like EA-EACH,KG-KILOGRAM.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
cherukuri

hi,
You can only change the base units of measure unter the following circumstances:
No stocks are available for the material.
There are no existing purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.
At present, no purchase orders or purchase order items are being created or changed.
If requests for quotations, purchasing info records, or contracts are available for a material, the system emits a warning if you change the base unit of measure. If one of these objects is then changed into an order, you only need to specify in a dialog box the factor for converting the base unit of measure into the new base unit of measure. The purchasing info records are then, if necessary, updated.
Procedure
Call the material master record in the create mode.
Overwrite the old base unit of measure with the new one in one of the user department screens.
Save the change.
regards,
Siddharth.

T006-Decan change after users have used the TO unit of measure

Currently in our system for TO (tonnes) it has T006-Andec as 3 and T006-Decan as 0 and it issues the users a warning message "Order quantity violates rounding rule" if they type in decimals in the purchase order quantity. We have been asked to change T006-Decan to a 3 and do away with the warning message. What happens if you change T006-Decan from 0 to 3 after users have already used the unit of measure (TO) in the R/3 SAP_APPL 470 system on materials, purchase orders, sales documents, receipts, etc...? I don't want to impact our users in production since I do not where this unit of measure has been used. Any advice is welcomed. Thank you.

Hi
If you are changing the decimal places in T006 - DECAN , the number which was 1000 would show as 1,000... so previously it was 1000 tonnes now it will show as 1 tonne.... such things happen....Check with SAP before doing changes to the Standard UOM's...
I am not able to find the correct SAP note for this.... but its there hope you get it
Thanks & Regards

Decimal places in unit of measure in Sales order

Hi,
In the Sales Order application in PCUI, when I create a create an order for customer XYZ, and add product ABC for qty 1 which uses unit of measure PC, the qty is displayed with 3 decimals as 1,000 whereas if I use the unit of measure EA the quantity is displayed without the 3 decimals as 1. I need the unit of measure PC to not have the decimal places like in SAPGUI.
Could anyone help me understand how this can be achieved?
Thank you for help in advance.
Regards,
Priya

To elaborate better.
Again, use Tcode CUNI - Unit of measurement : Initial Screen.
At initial screen, choose TIME from the list (where by default AAAADL- no dimensions is there).
And click on UNIT OF MEASUREMENT button.
In that you will find MON - Month.
There go for details by selecting MON or select MON and press F5 from Key board.
For MON unit maintain following parameter as per your requirement:
-Number of decimal places for number display
Use - This parameter determines the number of decimal places with which this measurement unit is displayed.
-Base ten exponent for floating-point display
Use - This exponent determines how the values for this measurement unit are formatted as floating point numbers.
Examples - If the exponent is 3, the floating point numbers have the format xxx.xxxxE3.
And deselect commercial meas. unit in application parameters section.
I would suggest instead of changing standard settings of MON, you create ZMON in TIME dimension.
Thanks & Regards

Currency appearing in unit of measure

Hello All,

The issue is whether this is reult of change in customisation of it is plainly an error in data entry
How do i resolve this issue
Thanks

DECIMAL PLACE UN UNIT OF MEASURE

Dear Friends
is ther any way to maintain decimal place during alternate unit of measure. FOr Ex 1 bar = 23.34 Kg. without rounding 100 bar = 2334 kg. i already maintained decimal in CUNI. still not able to maintain decimal.
Thanks and Regards
Madhavan

Yes you should be able to maintain this. Ensure that you allow decimals for the UOM Kg in CUNI it should allow this conversion you are referring to. You should put decimal places for both display and conversion.

Digits in Unit of Measure "%"

Hi all,
for one position we use "%" as unit of measure. In our developing-system I am able to enter a decimal number WITH comma. In our productive system that´s not possible.
Does anyone know where to change that behaviour, i.e. if commas are allowed in a unit of measure?
many thanks & best regards,
Thomas Kejik (Vienna)

Thomas,
Such a message is received when the format of entered figure is not correct.
You'd better, first, look at the format of your % UoM (CUNI t-code): number of decimals (if any) and digits total.
It's very important because the definition of your UoM might be different in Dev & Prod. Especially if import of global settings (that includes UoMs) is done from underlying R/3 systems.
Then try to enter the number with appropriate decimal delimiters, triades delimiters, number of decimals etc.
Hope you'll be lucky!
