Default units of measure FM10

can the default units of measure be set so they always read in mm instead of inches, rather than having to switch every time I open a document? I am beginning to find this really irritating.
Using FrameMaker 10, windows 7, 64 bit system

Check your maker.ini files for a setting - I can't tell you which one, but I'm pretty sure it exists in there somewhere

  • Bus. Entity - Default Unit of Measurement per Company Code

    Experts, I have assigned the default units of measure in "Make Basic Settings in Company Code" config. Surprisingly these entries don't show up in "Default Unit of Measurement per Company Code" config under Business Enity. Also, I cannot add those entries.
    Please treat this as urgent!
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Goto RealEstate (not RE-FX, though you are using RE-FX) \ Basic settings \ Basic Setting for Company codes / Financial asset management, select checkbox of Fin Asset Mangmt for your company code.
    Now you can see this company code in company code level settings for company code in business entity level.
    Really i dont know why we have to check that checkbox of Asset management to allow at business entity level, but we have to.

  • Use Metric as the default Unit of Measurements?

    Hi I am using the trial version of Live Cycle Designer ES 8.2 and I was wondering if there is a way to set metric as the default unit for Measurement?

    Hi,
    Double click on the ruler. Then you can select the unit, like cm or mm instead of inches.

  • PM Order Operations Default Unit of Measurement

    Halo Experts,
    We have a problem in UOM for PM/CS order operations. We have defined HR as default value of UOM for operations in IMG.
    Business wants to change at the order level to H as UOM and it is manually keyed in and saved. But when we check with the F4 option for Unit of Measure " H" doesnt appear where as HR appears.
    Any restrictions in displaying all the unit of measures. Can anybody clarify why "H" is not appearing on F4 option in the work order operation line items.
    Regards,
    Selva

    Hi Rajesh,
    We are getting the default unit in operation tab and all the config of default values is available but when we execute the F4 option the unit "H" is not appearing where as if we change from HR which is a default unit to H it is getting saved at the operation Tab.
    Hope it is clear now.

  • Default Unit of Measure in Shopping Cart

    Hello Experts,
    I am implementing SRM 7.0 Extended classic Scenario with SAP ECC6.0.
    When creating a Shopping Cart for Free Text items, in Employee Self-Service of via the Professional SC, the user systematically has to select the Unit of measure he wants to use (unless he has defined his own defautl value with right click > Set current value as default).
    Is there a way in the system to define a default ordering Unit of Measure for the Shopping Cart for every user ?
    I searched the organization attributes (PPOMA_BBP), the user parameters (SU01), but I could not find a way.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sofiane

    Unlike currency, which is usually fairly static for a company/user/system, unit of measure usually varies from one document to another, if not one item to another frequently. Therefore there is no per user default for this field by standard. However, you could enhancement the relevant webdynpro view, e.g. /SAPSRM/WDC_DODC_SC_I_BD, (method WDDOINIT) to default the unit of measure that way on the UI.

  • In RG1 ,Unit of measurement is KG,User want to change as MR

    Hi Experts,
    In RG1,user want to change unit of measurement as KG to MR.Now its showing KG but in billing there is unit of measurement is MR .I have checked material master.I found following:
    base unit of measurement is KG
    sales Unit: SM
    while creating order system default unit of measurement showing SM.In Additional data there are some conversion factors.
    Please help me gurus
    how can i covert KG to MR in RG1? as in billing it is MR.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Ravindra

    Hi Ram,
    Thanks for the reply.
    Problem coming in RG1 as UOM comming  KG.user already billed in MR as there is conversion factor in material master MR to KG.
    According to your suggetion if i changed sales unit as MR it comes defaulted in order then in invoice.but in RG1 still it showing KG as UOM.
    Can you explain about RG1? In RG1 may be system catch only base unit of measurement which is KG.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • I live in the UK : How do I change the unit of measurement from inches to metric in iPhoto

    I live in the UK : How do i change the default unit of measurement from inches to metric?

    Terence
    Thanks for your answer to my question. I have tried what you suggested and 'metric' was already set as the default so unfortunately, it has not solved my problem which is when I set the dimensions for the print size before printing, I have to change from 'inches' to 'cms' for each photo every time. I was hoping that I would be able to set 'cms' as the default.
    Hope you can help me.

  • Error while defining alt unit of measurement in material master

    All SAP gurus,
    i am trying to define a alt unit of measurement in a finished material, the base unit of measurement is in MT, and the sales unit is nos. the conversion formula is 53 nos = 1kg i.e. 1MT = 53000 nos. as conversion can be done only with base unit of measurement i am giving 53000 nos = 1 MT, but system unable to calculate the conversion as it is not taking mere than 3 digit after decimal.
    e.g.    if 53000 nos = 1 MT
    then  1 nos should be = 0.000018 MT
    but system not taking this value as this value contain 6 digit after decimal
    suggest me what can be the way out? with detailed steps. can i increase the post decimal value or i have to define another middle alt unit of measurement (like KG). and if that is to be done then how.
    Regards

  • AffineTransform - Is there a way to glean units of measurement for pixels?

    Assuming I get a pointer to a java.awt.geom.AffineTransform from:
    java.awt.geom.AffineTransform CurTransform = ((java.awt.Graphics2D)this.getMainFrame().getGraphics()).getDeviceConfiguration().getDefaultTransform();
    Assuming I've gotten the right AffineTransform... How do I get, or can I get, the scaling factor between horizontal pixels and vertical pixels for the current screen (or whatever device). In other words I want to place components... buttons, textboxes, etc. in a dialog box so that they are "square". i.e. 10 units in x look on the screen equal to 10 units in y.
    Once I know what the "square pixel scale factor" is I can then worry about making the units relative to whatever font size.
    This question is usually posed as "How do I get dialog units?". I haven't done that because of the "legacy problems" associated with what most people think dialog units come from. It is true that way back when dialog units were derived from a textmetrics ONLY, but unless I'm mistaken, Charles Petzold, was describing something that could only be gotten that way at that time (circa 1990).... The width of the fixed system font by the height of the fixed system font ended up being as close to a unit that was 8 units high looked like 8 units wide in the screen. The object of the exercise is to most importantly get units of measurement that translate to pixels and look "square" on the screen. Secondarily, but not unimportant, is to be a unit that has some relevance to the current font size. It's been a long time dialog units in windows maybe a 2:1 ratio. I made my own cDialogUnits so long ago I can't remember what the "standard windows" dialog unit is. In windows I can very easily get the screen dpi x and y, I think it's a devicecontext but Java's "devicecontext" only gives one dimension of the dpi?
    Also this query is mute if I was "painting" on a device. The units are for pixels NOT points and are (mostly) for placing controls on the screen. I am aware of and have used the various addPreferredGap and setAutoCreateContainerGaps available in a GroupLayout... Great gizmos but, still dialog units would be very handy for setting the prefered width of a textbox/label with too much text. (Note: dialog units are NOT for calculating the height of text... )
    I did search the sun forums for an answer first... It might be here I just didn't find it. It seems to be a question either avoided like the plague or considered a dumb question in Java.

    This might be OK?
    BE AWARE!! This is NOT a painting gizmo. It is used in conjunction with the Layout gizmos. It drives me crazy that the Layout gizmos have "default" gaps and spacers of some kind and yet ALL the tutorials immediately and unabashedly trash any "device independence" by mixing in pixel measurements... Not to mention I don't like the size of the gaps and spacing provided with the Layout gizmos anyway.
    Does anyone know if this will fail? I am aware of the caveats provided... "Information about the device is only as good as has been provided." However if there is bad information in the device info I doubt using these units will do anything much different that the end user experiences with the errant device anyway.
    AGAIN... This is NOT a painting gizmo. It's a helper when Laying out controls usually in conjunction with a Layout and only for spaces and gaps.

  • Unit of measure with language Key

    Hello Guruz,
    WHile creationd of purchase order, there is a check kept which compares the vendor communication language which gets updated in the Po header - Communucation tab with Db table T006A which holds the Unit of measurements with Language Key and pops up an error message.
    It cheks the order unit in the PO, and the T006A whether the unit is maintained in the Language key as in the PO header - Communiction tab.
    But while creating a unit of measurement in CUNI, we dont have the option to maintain the language key for the UOM.
    In CUNI, it defaults the language key as EN in table T006A.
    I need a prompt support from you guys on this issue. Please suggest how to go about with this?
    Best Regards
    Greg.

    Hello,
    When i am trying to go for the language key in CUNI, it says that the said language is 'not available in server'. I guess it is checking whether the language patch is updated in the server.
    But it doesn't sound logical to maintain all the unit of measurements in all the vendor languages. Suppose if we are having vendors with 75 communication languages and we are having 50 units os measurements, so does that mean that we have to maintain units of measurements 75 X 50  times ?
    Kindly provide your inputs on the issue. We are facing lots of issues with this control kept in PO header checking for the T006A with the vendor communication language.
    Regards
    Greg

  • Unit of measure for calculation type C must be completed

    Hi All
    When releasing some contracts in SRM , we are getting the error message as above.
    The error message doesn't specify any particular part and the contract has more than 3000 parts.
    There are no conditions at header or item level.
    There is no Target quantity also. Just a Target value for the contract and prices for individual items are maintained.
    We are using extended classic scenario and the contract is manually created in SRM.
    I have checked the OSS notes for this error, but they are mostly for contract creation in Bidding and not for a manually created SRM contract.
    We checked the UOMs for all the contract parts with the UOMs ( Base and Purchasing) in ECC Material Master and they are OK.
    In our scenario , MM changes in ECC are replicated to SRM in real time
    Any pointers towards pin pointing the error will be rewarded!
    Regards
    Kedar

    Hi,
    We encountered this error message and resolved the problem by applying the following 3 SAP Notes:
    a)     Note #1022928 - Unit of Measure for Calculation Type C Must Be Completed
            (Previously Mentioned)
    b)     Note #1702484 - Unit of Measure for Calculation Type C Must Be Completed
    c)     Note #1517648 - Default Conditions Added for Product Category Item Type
    Although the contract required is similar to a "Limit" item, but had to be placed for bid, then the RFX PS Item Type was set to "Service" to receive the bid responses.  After accepting the bid response, then we created a contract from the bid response.  Since it was to be a "Limit" type contract, then we immediately removed the data from the following fields:
    Remove the Quantity
    Remove the Unit of Measure
    Remove the Price
    Remove the Price Condition
    After removing the values from these fields, then we switched the PS Item Type from "Service" to "Product Category".  We added the Guaranteed Minimum and account assignment data to encumber the funds.  We were able to "Release" the contract successfully.

  • Unit of measure for Standard Value.

    Hi Gurus
    I have maintained Standard value LABOR in workcenter and maintain deafault value for unit of measure in workcenter Default tab .
    But that unit of measure is not defaulted in routing when i put some value.

    Hi Mayuresh,
    When you insert a work center in the routing, the defaults specified in the Default Values tab gets copied into the operation. The Standard Value Units get copied to the Standard Value fields (1 to 6) i.e. eg: In work center you have specified the Standard Value key as SAP1 which has the fileds - SETUP, MACHINE & LABOR, then in the operations if you scroll, you will find 3 columns named as SETUP, MACHINE & LABOR with the Standard Value Unit which you have maintained in the Work Center - Default Value tab. You can edit these UoM in the routing though.
    The same holds good when you assign the work center directly in a production order, you can edit the values in the StandadVals tab of the Operation.
    Hope the above answers your query.
    Regards,
    Vivek

  • ME51N : how to deal with different units of measure as defined in MM01?

    Hi Folk,
    Could you please help me ?
    Some of our materials booked in stock are purchased by our purchasing department in Europe but as well by our purchasing department in US.
    The base unit of measure of those materials are defined with KG (kilogram) in the masterdata file (MM01).
    Why this is not allowed to enter a purchase requisition (ME51N) with other unit of measure than KG?  My purchasing department in US is not able to work with kilogram and thus they need to enter the requisition with US units of measure (pounds).
    However when we create purchase orders, we can play with other units of measure.
    Does someone can explain to me how to create a PR with a unit of measure different from the default one?  Or could you share your experience to bypass this issue.  Note that we really would like to have the same material number both for Europe and US (with different plants and storage locations).
    Thank you very much!
    François.
