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.

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)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Report / inquires showing dual unit of measures

    Hi
    A material is maintained in Kg and drums (i.e. a drum contains 100Kg of material)
    Please mention T Codes of inquires / reports where I can see stock of material in both UoM at a glance.

    hiiii
    I have checked in our standars system
    I hope only possible way to see in standard system is MMBE.
    Its possible to create a custom report on Stock display with different UOM.
    Dicsuss with ur ABAPer iss very see to create with help of technical consultant.
    Hope this wil help to proceed further.
    If u need still more clarity, revert ..

  • 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

  • Error message 'Enter unit of measure' in Webclient

    Hello Experts,
    We are working on CRM 5.0 SP 7, IC WebClient and have implemented the BAdi "<b>CRM_SERVICEPROD_BADI</b>" to assign a service product ''<b>INVESTIGATION'</b> whenever user selects service ticket in WebClient.
    However, when confirming a Business Partner and accessing the service ticket, an error is getting displayed stating "<b>Enter the unit of measure</b>".
    We have already mentioned the unit of measure in Product but it seems it is not picking from there.
    Please help me to remove this error.
    Reward points assured for useful answers.
    Regards,
    Amit

    hi
    I had a similar Problem
    You will have to assign the base unit of measure in service tab as hours and then in the sales and distribution tab assign the same unit in the sales unit and give minimum order quantity(for e.g-1) & delivery unit ,this you will have to do for all the sales areas you might have mapped in the S&D tab
    I'm sure the issue will be resolved
    Cheers!!

  • How to retrieve the values from a table if they differ in Unit of Measure

    How to retrieve the values from a table if they differ in Unit of Measure?

    If no data is read
    - Insure that you use internal code in SELECT statement, check via SE16 desactivating conversion exit on table T006A. ([ref|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/2a/fa0122493111d182b70000e829fbfe/frameset.htm])
    If no quanity in result internal table
    - There is no adqntp field in the internal table, so no quantity is copied in itab ([ref|http://help.sap.com /abapdocu_70/en/ABAPINTO_CLAUSE.htm#&ABAP_ALTERNATIVE_1@1@]).
    - - Remove the CORRESPONDING, so quantity will fill the first field adqntp1.  ([ref|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABENOPEN_SQL_WA.htm])
    - - Then loop at the internal table and move the quantity when necessary to the 2 other fields.
    * Fill the internal table
    SELECT msehi adqntp
      INTO TABLE internal table
      FROM lipso2
      WHERE vbeln = wrk_doc1
        AND msehi IN ('KL','K15','MT').
    * If required move the read quantity in the appropriate column.
    LOOP AT internal_table ASSIGNING <fs>.
      CASE <fs>-msehi.
        WHEN 'K15'.
          <fs>-adqnt2 = <fs>-adqnt1.
          CLEAR <fs>-adqnt1.
        WHEN 'MT'.
          <fs>-adqnt3 = <fs>-adqnt1.
          CLEAR <fs>-adqnt1.
      ENDCASE.
    ENDLOOP.
    - You could also create another table with only fields msehi and adqntp and then collect ([ref|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPCOLLECT.htm]) the data to another table.

  • Production Order for a Material with two units of measure?

    Hi Everybody I have the following issue.
    In my company there is a new production process with a Material that should be configured in the master data with the field "Base Unit of Measure" as per unit (each). But the production process, should be confirmed by tx CO11N, in Kilograms. I know that I can use the additional Data in tx MM03 to set a Production Unit, but the value of convertion would be fixed. For example 122 Kg = 1 each, the thing is that the value in kilograms for each lot can vary, one lot can weight 122 and another one can weghr 125, and in each case I shoul have two units in stock. And as I have the value of convertion fixed, when I confirm each lot one for 122 kg and another for 125 kg I will have 2.025 units in MB52.
    How can I solve this problems? I need to have the chance the confirm in kg changing for each lote the quantity but in the base Unit of Measure have one unit for lot. As if for tx CO11N I could have a field where I can set tha x quantity of Kilograms is x each.
    Kind regards
    Leandro. 

    Hi Ayoub, First thank`s for your promt answer,
    1. The Quantity is different, because is not a perfect process, there is a manual work in the process that makes this quantity differ, there is no big difference, maybe a Kilo or Two but the production mannager wants to have this registered. And besides in productions they manage kilograms, but for selling the comercials manage units (each - EA)
    2.The convertion rate is known at the end of the process after cutting and packaging a unit, they weight it.
    Regards
    Leandro

  • Standard report  for unit of measures

    Is there any standard report to see the Fert material unit of measures  and its alternate unit of measures.

    HI
    there is no standard reprot for you requirment.
    only UOM of material you canget from MM60.
    but if you want alternate also got with table data MARM
    1.use SE16-- enter the table name MARM

  • 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

  • Follow up material with different base unit of measure

    Hi all,
    I have the BOM with material Mat1 as a component. The base unit of measure of Mat1 is KG.
    Is it possible to replace Mat1 with Mat 2 material in MRP once the Mat1 warehouse stock is depleted.
    The base unit of measure of Mat 2 is KGK.
    The required quantity of MAT1 should be recalculated from KG to KGK accordanly unit ratio.
    Please, expain, where does it maintain?
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Hello Peter,
    You can use follow-up setting (set Mat2 as follow-up of Mat1 in MRP 4 view of material master if this follow-up scenario is valid for all BOM) with discontinuation indicator '1', w/o effective-out date. In this case Mat1's stock will run out (no PldOrd, PR, etc) will be created, and from the date, when Mat1's stock runs out, MRP will calculate with Mat2.
    As I told you, according to my best knowledge, you cannot realize this with different base unit of measures. (you have to change the buom of one of the related material masters or create a new material master if you cannot cope with buom-change).
    Follow-up group scenario can also be used but I guess different buoms will be a problem in that case as well.
    Maybe there are better solution but I'm not aware of it...

  • MB5B - Stock on posting date show in other Unit of measure

    Dearl All,
    Pls support me this case: I would like to see this report (MB5B - Stock on posting date) in other Unit of measure.
    This report shows stock in Basic Unit only.
    E.g
    Material A, base unit = M, other unit = ROL
    Report needs show stock in ROL.
    How can I do that?
    Thank you vry much!
    Cao Huy.

    Hi,
    In your case, order unit as ROL and material basic unit of measure is M.
    PO created only for the order unit ROL, and goods have received from the vendor based on the PO order unit.
    So,this MB5B stock on posting date is displayed only the total stock received based on the received GR order unit qty .
    stock also managed only ROL unit of measues. it is not possible to list based on the M stock unit.
