Different unit of measurements work independently

Hi SAP MM Experts
Is there any possibility to work with 2 different unit of measurement at a time in sap which need to be independent from each others mean no relation b/w 2 uom.
My client is a steel manufacturer. When a bar (steel rod) received from vendor, they want to  enter in system with uom as KG  and bundle and same thing will be control in all possible good movement. even in sell, they want to control with 2 unit on measurement. pls guide me. thanks

You can maintain two uom for material, You can purchase this material with two uom. But material can only stored in warehouse with base unit of measure. You can also sale the material with two unit.
For using different uom in purchasing have a look into the docu Create Info Record for different Order Unit

  • IS-Retail:how to maintain different unit of measures for a article

    hi experts,
                    can anyone tell me how we maintain different unit of measures for sales and purchasing for a article.base unit of measure,order unit,var unit.Hope for a good answer.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Go to MM42, select basic data view
    In,Units of measure/ EANs /dimensions sub tab
    there u can see four radio buttons
    B.Un    Unit of measure is base unit (used internally only) 
    O.Un    Unit of measure is the order unit                             - Purchasing
    D/L.Un  Unit of measure is delivery unit/issue unit              - Logistics
    S.Un    Unit of measure is the sales unit                             - Sales
    for eg:
    First line enter EA (each) or PC (piece) in Auom for a material and  enter 1 in Number and select radio button for B.Un
    Second line enter CT (carton) in Auom and  enter 10 in Number and select radio button for O.UN (when you creating a PO it UOB automatically picks as CT)
    Third line enter PALin Auom and enter 50 in Number and select radio button for D/l .UN (when u creating a delivery UOB picks as PAL ie pallets)
    Fourth line enter EA or PC and enter 1 in Number and select radio button for S.UN (when u creating a Sales order UOB picks as EA or PC as u defined)

    only relevant for quantity columns with unit link.
    Name of the internal output table field containing the measurement unit associated with the quantity field FIELDCAT-FIELDNAME.

  • Different unit of measurement

    Hi
    For the material a85.52.02.1121, when I see material document list(MB51),material movement showing different UOM( M & FT).
    For material movement 261 it is showing 2- (qty) FT
    movement 262 it is showing 2(qty) FT,
    But for movement type 561 it is showing 2 (qty) M.
    But we maintained in the material master,UOM & alternative unit of measure as 'M' only.
    my question is
    From where this FT unit of measurement is coming?
    Any tips to solve this problem?
    With Regards,
    Jaheer(abaper + MM consultant)

    Hi,
    Check the Unit of issue at plant data storage location 1 of the MMR, I suppose its with FT,
    Other wise too as both M and FT are standard UOM's,with a standard conversion, you can enter a different unit of measurement apart from the base unit maintained in the MMR during the transaction (261/262), which will get automatically updated in the inventory.
    Trust this clears your query

  • 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.

  • Maintain different unit of measure at operation level

    HI
    I am working on a scenario where I have to maintain product in different units after each operation for a material. like i am working on SFG to get FG in 3 steps. my base unit of measure is lb. I maintain my product after 1st operation in lb, after 2nd operation in PC, and after 3rd operation again in PC. but weight of Piece after II & III operation are not same. how can i maintain relation between PC & lb at operation level. is it possible?
    regards

    Hi,
    1. Routing can be created for one header unit of measure only
    2. But in the routing we can have different "Operation Unit"
    3. In the routing in the operation details  there is a unit of measure conversion details
    1 header unit = 1 operation unit
    4. In your case you need to maintain this which can solve your problem.
    Kindly let me know if this is useful or if it doesnt work we can find alternate solution for the same.
    thanks

  • Rounding the order quantity in different Units of measurement

    Hello Experts,
    We need your suggestion to meet the below mentioned client's requirement.
    There are around 200 SKUs in the consideration and three units of measure ( case, carton and pallet  defined for them).We are looking for way to suggest the order qty based on multiples of the unit,  case, carton & pallet Quantities.
    The order will always be placed in base unit PC and system should suggest the best possible combination with a Pop Up message.
    For example with this SKU
    SKU         Unit       Case        Carton           Pallet
    123456      1         12               144              8640
    Customer ordered 10 units during the validation of that line  pop up message should suggest 12 units. (1 case)
    Customer ordered 5 units there should be no suggestion ( 5 units )
    Customer ordered 130 units during the validation of that line  pop up message should suggest 132 units. (11 cases)
    Customer ordered 146 units during the validation of that line  pop up message should suggest 144 units. (1 carton)
    Customer orders 153 units during the validation of that line  pop up message should suggest 156 units. (1 case + 1 Carton)
    Suggestions needs to be able to round up or round down based on the closest combination multiple.
    I have gone through the idea of roudning profile idea but need some more inputs as how to realize the same.
    As one material can have requirement in all alternate units of measurement and we can assign one profile per UoM in Material master and the order quantity is not dependent on any specific customer group so how would the system recogine/derive the best possible combination in different cases for different UOM.
    Pls provide your valable inputs.
    Many thanks in advance.

    I don't think thsi is possible with SAP Standard settings & you will have to apply a User Exit.
    You ABAPer will have to develop a logic based on your requirements & then system can give a pop-up with best possible combination.
    Thanks,

  • Different Unit of measure in PO print

    Hi all
    I had  a problem while retreiving unit of measure for line items of a service PO. While retreiving UOM( using Select statement) i am getting different UOM when compared to database(found in standard table EKPO). This is happening only for line items having services. the other line items UOM is coming as usual.
    for example if the UOM in EKPO Table is AU it is coming as LE by using select statement
    can any one help me out why i am getting like this.
    thanks & regards
    sreehari

    I've seen this many times and as far as I'm aware it's language related.  There are other examples such as unit of measure ST becoming EA and Sales Order type OR becoming TA.
    As long as you know what your select statement will retrieve then it shouldn't be a problem.

  • WM MF60 different unit of measure

    Hi all.
    I am trying to move material from raw material warehouse (managed in WM) into production warehouse (not managed in WM). In production warehouse production order exists for manufacturing.
    For transferring components between both warehouses I am using MF60 trasaction.
    There are some materials that are consumed in one unit of measure (ST) but transferred in another one (CRT). Although the requirement is to transfer 1 unit for one production order, one box (containing 60 units) will transferred and this will cover the production of the next 60 production orders.
    For this purpose I maintain WM unit of measure including CRT and as base unit of measure ST but the 311 movement is made based on ST unit of measure and so the TR and TO.
    Did I miss any customizing? Should I use the issue unit of measure, not enough with WM unit of measure?
    Many thanks in advance and best regards.

  • Release demand from with different Unit of Measure

    Dear colleagues,
    I have the following issue:
    a) The material master base unit is Kilograms KG
    b) The base unit used in DP is UN
    c) In the master data exits the conversion 10 UN = 32KG
    d) If I release 7800 UN from DP to SNP, I received 7800 KG instead of 29460 Kg.
    What am I missing?
    Best Regards
    -Italo

    i assume your SNP Planning area is in KG
    I dont think the release forecast program checks the UoM of SNP planning area before release, It will transfer the PA base UoM.
    So you can either have UN in SNP PA or you can use a internediate DP planning area with KG as UoM and then transfer to SNP (you can do this in one job just like you do normal release). If you use the same MPOS as the original DP planning area and use only the relevant KF that will be more than enough

  • Issue: Proportion/produciton unit of measure NO is invalid for item 900001.

    Hi All,
       Issue: Proportion/produciton unit of measure NO is invalid for item 900001.
    Here we have MTO Scenario: In outbound delivery when we do batch split & batch determination we are getting the above error.
    Consider the following settings: at MM01 - Prodution/Proportion unit data is maintained with a characterstic specific to batch. Means Batch specific unit of measurement. In Work scheduling view produciton unit, unit of issue are maintained as 'NO'. All these settings  are same for all material codes.
    Please suggest us why we are getting the issue for perticular material coce.
    Info: We resolve the issue by adding one more line item in the sales order & do the transfer posting the stock from line item to line item. But this is not the permanent solution.
    Regards
    Chowdary

    I believe the error message no is VL 382 (Proportion/product unit of measure & invalid for item &)
    You need to double click on the error message flashing on the status bar to get the error number.
    I believe long text for the error message is self explainatary. Refer it and make necessary changes to resolve the issue.
    Diagnosis
    You want to use a proportion / product unit for an item.
    You are not allowed to change the unit of measure into a proportion / product unit if:
    - The following exist for a sales document item:
    Preceding documents
    Subsequent documents
    - You are processing a scheduling agreement for the component supply industry
    - You change the target unit of measure in a scheduling agreement item (and the sales unit is not a proportion / product unit)
    - You are processing a customer requirements plan
    - The following exist for a delivery item:
    Preceding documents
    Subsequent documents
    Batch split items
    - You are processing a batch split item
    Procedure
    Use a different unit of measure.
    If you want to change the target unit of measure into a proportion / product unit in a scheduling agreement item, you need to change the sales unit accordingly. The system then sets the target unit of measure to the same as the sales unit.
    Further, if you are working on older version, refer SAP Note 364206 - VLSP:indic.for proportion/product quantities deletd.

  • Unit of measure EA is not convertible to stockkeeping unit LB

    Hi,
    I am getting this error when doing a goods issue for a process order with 2 components that have different units of measure, like EA & LB. I am using 'BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE' for this. Has anybody encountered this problem before? Please share your ideas on fixing this issue.
    Regards,
    V M.

    HI VM,
    Check with ST in place of EA.
    However here is the general idea to fix the issue with BAPI which is working in SAP but not from MII.
    1. Open se37 in SAP GUI.
    2. Enter your FM name and Execute it with debugging.
    3. It will open a new debugger window.
    4. Look in Local variables tab for all your INPUTs.
    5. Check the difference between your entered input parameters and converted input parameters. like number formatting, spaces and ever conversion like PC to PCE.
    Hope this will help.
    Thanks
