Default Order unit

Hi All,
I have a situation where, i am creating a STO requsition and then converting to STO.
When i am creating a Stock transfer Purchase requsition the base unit of measure defaults in from the material master as EA. We have left the order unit to be blank in the material master since the material is used by different groups with diiferent order units. We have a source list for the required order unit KG to default in the STO. The order unit from source lists helps creating STO in the required unit only when we hit the Assign source of supply in the item tab and the required order unit pops up in the STO when PR is converted from PO..My questions is there any other way to automatically default the order unit in the purchase requsition with out even hitting the assign source of supply in the item tab?
Purchase Info record will not work as it is UB doc type. Also we dont wan to maintain in the material master.

Hi,
Like you said, the order unit is different depending on the vendor/supplying plant. So SAP can only determine the order unit when a source is determined.
You can create scheduling agreement using ME37 and put it in your source list but you still need to have the source determination.
In IMG OMFI, you can create default values for users and select to have the source determination indicator defaulted to PR, then it will be done automatically for you when the PR is created. Assign the default value created in OMFI as under Parameter ID 'EVO' against the users in SU01.

How to manage variable conversion factor in UOM to order unit

Hi,
We have a material whose base unit is PC unit price is 8 Euro / PC
Order unit is Box now we do not have a standard conversion factor.
Means sometimes vendor send 8 pc/ Box ,10 pc /Box and 12 pc /Box
so when we create Material master and enter order unit as Box in purchasing view system ask for conversion rate
if we do not enter any the value in PC field its taking 1 Box =1 PC as default.
Example: Now while creating PO say we order for 10 box.(at this point we do not know exact conversion rate)
and in the conditions we maintain price against PC .system calculate.
Now when we receive the material then we actually know how much QTy we receive in SKU (PC) but that field is blur (no input) in 101 mvt type.
One more thing In MIGO we can enter the Qty in PO Price Unit say we enter 80 PC
system only creates stock value posting (80 * 8 =640 Euro ) but the stock qty in MMBE is still 10 piece ( from 1:1 conversion with box)
Please suggest how we can handle this variable conversion rate.
So that we can enter correct Qty in the time of GR ( MIGO ).
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for the valuable Input.
For our material base unit is PC order unit is Box.
Say we main a conversion factor 10 PC =1 Box ( a default value) in MM01
And we order 10 Box. but when we receive we found that vendor send 12 pc per Box so total 120 pc
[ Po price unit is in PC in condition details]
Now in MIGO we cannot modify that Qty ( from 100 to 120 in PC)
SO you are suggesting here we receive 12 box in MIGO. so that actual qty in PC is correct..
Thanks again

How to override the default order UOM when using BAPI_PO_CREATE1...

Hello Experts,
How do I force BAPI BAPI_PO_CREATE1 to use my declared purchase order unit of measurement instead
of getting it in the material master data? For example, material A has a default purchase UOM of CV, but
when I create a PO using material A I want the purchase UOM to be EA instead of the default CV.
How do I do that?

Sorry settings in inforecord problem.

In PR only base uom can be used - Why not order unit ?

Hi All,
When I create PR for raw material, SAP by default takes the base UOM. But our stack holders wants to use Order unit in the PR.
What is the setting required to use order unit in PR.
If this can't be done - what is the note number to support this standpoint from SAP.
Please reply.
Regards,
Raj.

Hi Rahul,
Base unit : KG
Order Unit: Meter
Currently all the raw materials planning is done outside SAP. Hence the planners raise raw material PR to procurement dept for processing.
Typical PR will have anything from 10 to 25 rawmaterial numbers in it.
Then again they manually cenvert the required order unit to base unit for PR purpose.
Thanks,
Raj.

Order unit cannot be used

Hi Gurus,
Our requirement is to used the order unit.. we have previous purchase order using the base unit of material and then i update the material indicating required order unit. When we create the Purchase Order some material did not hook the order unit for example base unit= EA(each) and order unit=REA(ream) in the PO EA reflect instead of REA
and i want the order unit will be in the purchase order i try to change but the message pop-up "Order unit REA cannot be used"
what will i do? I'm confuse why other material it's ok in order unit and some why did catch the order unit?
hoping to your possible solution..
Thanks,
Marina

Hi Velu,
here the informartion regarding the message:
Order unit REA cannot be used
Message no. ME898
Diagnosis
Unit REA is not intented as an order unit.
System Response
The system checks whether the order unit you entered is allowed for this purchase order by comparing the order unit you entered with the order unit that the system determined.
The system checks the potential sources of the order unit in the given sequence. If a source is not available (if the purchase order is not referenced to a preceding document, for example) then the system checks the next possible source (such as a purchase requisition):
1. If you create a purchase order with reference to a preceding document (purchase order, contract or request for quotation), the system copies the order unit from the preceding document.
The Var. OUn (Variable order unit) indicator must not be selected in the purchasing info record.
2. If you create a purchase order with reference to a purchase requisition and the Var. OUn indicator is selected in the purchasing info record, the system copies the order unit from the purchase requisition.
In the Enjoy purchase requisition (ME51N), you can maintain the order unit on the item detail screen on the Source of supply tab. In the normal purchase requisition (ME51), you can maintain the order unit on the item details screen.
3. When the purchasing info record for the combination of vendor and material exists, the system copies the order unit from the purchasing info record.
4. If you create a purchase order with reference to a purchase requisition and the Var. OUn is not selected in the purchasing info record, the system copies the order unit from the purchase requisition.
5. If you create a purchase order with reference to a purchase requisition and there is no existing purchase info record for the combination of vendor and material, then the system copies the unit of measure from the purchase requisition item in the item overview.
6. If you create a normal purchase order, the system copies the order unit from the material master.
7. When you create a stock transport order, the system copies the unit of measure from the material master.
8. If the order unit and the unit of measure were not defined in the material master, the system copies the material's base unit of measure.
9. If you create a service item, the system copies the default unit of measure.
You can define the default unit of measure in Customizing for External Services Management under Source Determination and Default Values -> for Client.
Note
If the Var. OUn indicator is selected in the purchasing info record or in the material master (if no purchasing info records exist), it means that the system can use any unit of measure that has been defined in the material master.
Procedure
1. Check the relevant documents and master records (contract or purchasing info records).
2. Select the Var. OUn in the purchasing info record or in the material master, if necessary.
thanks,
Marina

Order unit

Hi Gurus,
We have not maintained the order unit in the material master , and maintained the order unit BAG in info record. My doubt is can we order for the same venodr with other order unit, when I am trying to change , by default the system is triggering the maintained order unit in info record.
Please explain.
Regards,
Subbu

Hi Subbu,
If you maintain the order unit in the material master purchasing screen than whenever you create the PO system will convert in to that order unit and in the Po item details you will see the conversion of base unit to order unit.
Suppose you have more than one order unit than you activate the Variable order unit in the material master and maintain the conversion of that and create the Info record for differeent order unit based on the vendor so when you create the PO as per the vendor system will pull the order unit in the PO.

Nani.

Hope my query is clear.

Not allow order unit in INFO record if it is not in material master

Hello there!
In standar SAP any user can introduce any order unit in the info record, even if it is not maintained in the material master alternative units of meassure. We need to block this...
The conversion factor is not a problem for us, as we can set it only for display in the customizing, so that the systems brings it automatically from material master
The idea is to allow as order units only those units of meassure that exist in material master.
We have been checking if it is possible, but no success...
Any idea on how to get it? Error messages, user exists, or so on...
Thanks!!

Order unit in material master

Hi Gurus,
We have maintained order unit CS in material master, while creating purchase order we have changed the order unit CS to BAG. conversion was not maintained for BAG in material master.
But still PO is not throwing any error message. In actual it should give error message ..right ? as we have changed the order unit CS to BAG?
Please clarify
subbu

Hello,
If that Unit & its conversion wrt to base unit is niether maintained in Material master or nor in inforecord, then, system throws an error. Please check whether "BAG" is maintaiened in material master or inforecord. Also check message setting.
Hope it will help u..
Thanks

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.

PR qty in PO - Order unit Qty

Hi Happy New Year to all.
I have a material for which bas unit of measure is EA. Order unit is Box(1 Box = 6 EA). I have maintain conversion factor in mat master.
My question is that if my
PR qty is 6 or less than 6 then my order qty should be 1 BOX.
PR qty is 12 or less than 12 then my order qty should be 2 BOX.
MRP (VB) will be run every week.
PR created automatically by system in base unit of measure only. Is it possible to create PR in Order unit (BOX)?.
For example, when i refer my PR (qty 9) in PO, system picks the order unit as 2 BOXu2026.no problem)
But the real problem is that i have system message 00 06 076 as error message which is to check the PR qty in PO (My PO qty shouldnu2019t be more than PR qty). Due to this message i am not able to create PO(since PO qty exceeds PR qty in this case) .
Is there any way when the system creates PR with Base unit of measure along with order unit also?
Thanks

hi,
PR is always created with base unit of measure only.
If you want the order unit field can be displayed in PR by changing the layout which is not usually the
case
1) PO qty always less than PR and 2) rounding value is defined these 2 contradict each other
You should solve this first.Either change the error message to warning or remove the rounding value in material master so that PO qty is always less than PR.
thanks

At the time of entering the OUn (order unit) it is picking the"(inch symbol

Hi Gurus,
User trying to create the PO,at the time of entering the OUn (order unit) it is picking the " (inch symbol) instead of" EA".as i observed in the material master the pur group has changed only.earlier they are created the PO it is picked the correct OUn.
Please help me for this.
Regards
krishna

This will happen if either in the material master or in the info-record "inch" has been specified as the order unit and its relationship with EA is maintained there. If you don't want it, then remove this order unit from either of this place

How to change order unit in ME22n for particular vendor

Dear All,
We have defined ordering unit in material master as "L".
For other vendors & new PO we get proper ord.unit display.
But we r not getting in PO of particular vendor.
How to get order unit in ME22n ? What is the relation of order unit with Vendor ?

Hi
Did you ordere the particular material for the vendor concerned already with different Order unit (SKU), this might be the reason why you are not getting the ordering unit in PO while ordering. Did you maintain the details of conversion in master between SKU & Ordering unit,if yes, then check for Info Record for the material and vendor combination and in the Genaral Data Tab chek for the variable order unit activation if not available then activate it and if the system is asking the conversiondetails enter herr the conversion also. Now if you create PO you will be able to assigne the new order unit.

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

Vishal
