Dual Unit of Measure and valuation problem in SAP for Diamond module

1. Handling of Dual Unit of Measure. In case if you take Diamond Jewellery, which is having Gold portion as well Diamond portion, we would like to keep UOM for gold portion as Grams and Carats for Diamond portion. As informed by our implementation team (Wipro), handling dual UOM for the same article seems to be not possible in SAP due to product limitations. As this feature is very basic for jewellery industry, we would like to know how SAP can address this business need in SAP.
2. We would like to show Gold & Diamond separately in Valuation for the same article, which is again seems to be product limitation.
As the above 2 issues are fundamental elements in our business, please look into the above issues and give us some solution immediately.

Mr.Rao,
Although I do not much about your business needs and the processes that you are configuring, this is what I understand from your explanations:
1. You design and make jewellery out of Gold and Diamonds. Here I believe that the designer would be knowing how much of Gold and Diamond will go into the making of a jewellery.
2. You would like to valuate the stock based on the gold/diamond gone into each. Each piece of jewellery is unique in itself as its contents may minutely vary for the gold content.
In such a situation, I would suggest considering configuring Variant Configuration. With this, you will be able to maintain different values of diamond/gold for each piece of jewellery at the time of Sales Order/Production Order/Prod.Order confirmation etc. Your manufacturing cost will be at actuals based on the consumption posted during the Prod.Order confirmation. Each piece of jewellery will be unique with few Material Masters.
Hope this helps.

Unit of measure and mb1a issue

Dear Experts,
In our plant we are using Tape BOPP for taping the Boxes. So please tell me if we want to use unit of measurement as EA then what should we mentioned the component qty for one box in EA. At present our company has maintained the component qty as 0.4 EA for 1 box.
And following the conversion factor which are maintained in mm01 through additional data screen.
1 ROL = 1 ROL
65 meter = 1 ROL
1 EA = 1 ROL
But while doing mb1a system is taking the qty as 1 EA instead of 0.4 EA. please suggest how to overall this problem.

Phalgun patel

The problem is that reservation is always made in the basic unit of measure (EA), which have no decimals in the standard SAP.
You must choose between:
a) using the smaller unit of measure (meters) as suggested by SAP, and EA an altenative UoM
b) define a new UoM called ED or similar (transaction CUNI), which a copy of EA but allowing decimal places.

Dual unit of measure

Dear Gurus,
Is it possible to maintain dual unit of measure for a material in ECC 6. Meaning there should be 2 unit of measures, without any conversion factor.
This is a requirement of a diamond company which wants to maintain the stocks in Pieces as well as Carats.
Regards,
SSR

Hi,
You can only have one base unit of measure and any number of of UOMs with conversion factors. But in your case the number of carats do not relate to the UOM of each.
You do not need to use carat as a UOM.
I would suggest that you use classification and allocate a characteristic of carat.
Then each material master record can have whatever UOM that is relevant (each, piece etc.) but you can have the number of carats stored in the classification view of the material master.
If each individual item can have different carats then you might want to consider batch management. That way each diamond can have a different number of carats and you would use a unique id as the batch number.
But you basic question of having multiple unrelated UOMs is not possible.
P.S. If you want to give any award in DIAMONDS instead of points then I am sure that we would all accept this (smile)

Units of measure and conversion factor

while executing a session, I get the message 'Please check units of measure and conversion factor', what does it indicate? there are fields like order unit, conversion (purchasing) in creating info records transaction ME11.

in bdc when ever u r working with quantity and price fields it is better to move this fields in to string and do the concatenation kind of stuff..............

Proposal.:.Multiple Purchase Unit of Measure and pricing

The objective of this message is to start a discussion around procurement unit of measure and pricing.
Currently, some of our clients are facing the following limitation:
- They stock an item in a specific unit of measure (let say metre)
- They buy in a different unit of measure (let say unit).
In this scenario, we have a conversion factor of 6 for example so when we order 1 unit, the system will stock 6 metres.
The issue is that the pricing in SAP Business One for procurement is expressed in stocking unit of measure. It means that we do not have any possibility to enter the price by unit. For example, if in my purchase price list I enter $10 for one unit, on the purchase order, SAP will calculate if I buy 1 unit: $10 x 6 = $60. This is obviously wrong.
The second issue is that I can buy the same product from 3 suppliers but in 3 different UoM (one supplier will sell it in unit, another one in metre and another one in pack of 10). The system can not accomodate this business scenario.
Regards,
Vincent

quite late, but I faced the same issue with a window-maker company. They buy alumium bars (different lenghts) and keep them and worked them in meters.
What we do was use the Production module, and define a new BoM item (bar_meter), so when they buy 1 bar (6.4 meters) and they want to use it, they create a production order to create 6.4 new bar_meters. Then they used as many meters as needed to make the window.

Alternate unit of measure and its impact on CO module

Hi
We are in CPG company, our client has decided to use CAR (i.e. Carton) as base unit of measure and TO (tonnage) as alternate unit of measure. CO users and client management wants to run planning, allocation and CO-PA analysis in TO (tonnage).
Some of activities like cost estimates will be run using CAR. We have come to know that we might have to use COPA0005 enhancement.
We need to know how it will impact CO module as TO is not base unit of measure for finished goods?
Thanks in advance.
Chris

Thanks Ajay for your reply. My point is that we need to know the impact on CO module because our Client will use CAR (carton) as base unit of measure and CO users have to use TO (tonnage) for planning, allocation, profitability analysis, etc.
We will define the UoM conversion relationship in material master, say 1 TON = 125 CAR.
We have come to know that cost estimate can only be run using base unit of measure (i.e. CAR) so client will have to run cost estimate using CAR.
What about other functionality like allocations, planning, CO reports, etc. What will be the impact on CO module as TO is not the base unit of measure and our client have to use TO for allocations, reporting, CO-PA, etc.

Inches as unit of measure causes leading problems

In Freehand MX 11.0.2 for Windows (using winxp sp2), I cannot
select inches as my unit of measurement without causing serious
leading issues. If I set type at 10 point with 12 point leading,
the program will convert the leading to 12 inches, making it like
864 points. When using millimeters, it does a similar problem, but
make it 34 mms, or 34 points. Really frustrating. Anyone else have
an issue like this? I've reinstalled several times, and
redownloaded, but to no avail. Also, nothing like this on the known
issues on Macromedia.com. HELP!!!

So it happens with inches too.
Kevin (adplus91) asked the same question with the title
"Leading measurements changing".
My reply was:
Only solution is to use Points as measurement units. I've
made keyboard shortcuts for changing between
millimeters and points. Changing units, however, reset grid
value to 6 points or 5mm.
This is a bug Macromedia probably made when they fixed a
conversion bug in Objects palette. Also Macromedia
claimed that this is WinXP only problem but it happens in Win
2000 as well.

Dual unit of measurement

Hi all SAP gurus,
Can we handle same material with two unit of measures, both units are not linked to each other with any conversion factor. The conversion factor is not fixed i.e. it changing every time.
Let me give more details, presently the material is handled in EA in one plant, we want the same material with KG unit for sale purpose in other plant. Alongwith this we want stock monitoring for material in both units at both plants.
Any suggetions will be helpful.

Hi,
The recommended solution is Catch weight management. But this is a entirely different concept & you ll have many restrictions.
Comments from SAP Online help:
SAP CWM provides processes and functions to allow materials to be carried in two independent units of measure throughout the entire supply chain (sales and distribution, purchasing, materials management, production, quality management and logistics execution). SAP CWM also contains costing and inventory management functions and supports integration of Financial Accounting and Controlling, allowing you to map requirements in the valuation area.
Plz refer the following link :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60_sp/helpdata/en/8f/89143f81208536e10000000a114084/frameset.htm
Otherwise, It is not possible to have 2 independent units of measures for same material in R/3, ECC.Bcoz any transaction performed in any unit will check the material master for the conversion .
Reward points if useful.
Thanks & regards

Alternate unit of Measure and tolerances

Hi,
Is it possible to map alternate UoM like 1 EA= 100-110 KG.
I.e. the if weight of my component is between 100 to 110 KGs then the equivalent in UoM EA is 1.
Prashant

Hi,
Its not possible to maintain the alternate unit of measure as a range...the conversion has to be done in exact numeric terms...no scales....
