Effects of change of ISO code of UoM

Dear Experts,
i am facing the following general question - based on SRM 7.0, CS
On the R/3 side, we have three different systems in use, to which SRM is connected. All these different R/3 systems are having differences in the used UoM / ISO codes of UoM.
We are now trying to consolodate all these differences in one of the R/3 systems, before we than do the replication of the UoM data from that R/3 system to SRM.
As part of this consolidation, in all three R/3 systems there are some ISO codes, that would need to be changed.
Has anyone faced a smilirar consolidation task before?
I am looking for experiance pointers regarding the question, what points i would need to keep in mind and to test in these R/3 systems, if i change the ISO codes?
Thank you very much!

Hi Dima,
I think that ISO codes of UOM are used mainly in IDOCS/EDI processes. See if you are having any of these working in one of those R/3 systems.

We faced a similar situation at one of our clients. Consolidating is not easily done. We said at the end that we have a 1:1 relation between ISO-Code and UoM in SRM and only make the UoM visible which exist in all systems.
We harmonized the UoM as followed:
Int. meas. Unit:   PCE
Commercial:       PCE
Technical:          PCE
Long Text for UoM:   Piece
Short Text for UoM: Piece
ISO-Code:          PCE
Primary Code Flag: X
Commercial meas. unit: X
With the Commecial meas. unit you can have the UoM invisible.
Changing them in the ERP is almost impossible as they are used everywhere and this is a bigger task.
Have fun

Can we change the ISO code of existing UOMs?

We have developed a new global R3 initiative where we need to merge UOMs from different regions (from different R3 systems) and we have discovered some UOMs have a blank ISO code - can we change the ISO code and what should we check for please?
Many thanks

hi
yes u can change it in the transaction CUNI
For additional information see OSS note 69063.

ISO code of UOM

Dear Experts,
In SAP, ISO Code "PCE" already maintained for UOM Pieces (PCS) and already we've created lots of material which base UOM is Pieces (PCS). Can I change ISO code as PS instead of PCE ?
Is it possible?
If I change it in SPRO>SAP Ref. IMG>SAP Net Weaver>General Settings>Check Unit of Measurements>ISO Code Tab or in Unit of Measurement Tab then what kinds of problem we will face??
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

Many Thanks for your suggestion.

ISO code Configuration for new UOM creation

Hi gurus,
have a Technical query.
I am configuring UOM's in SAP. For this I need to give ISO Code value as well.
To configure ISO code values -> the SPRO direct links are not working...I tried with few more other links.. but nothing is working out.
Could you pls tell me the tcode for configuration of ISO code for UOM? The ISO code values are stored in table T006J.
Please give me your valuable sugestion
Regards,
Anbu

use tcode CUNI.
here u can create new ISO code by selecting ISO codes tab

UOM RL (REEL) what is the ISO code in SRM ?

Hi All
What is the ISO code for RL UOM ?in SRM system.
HOW DO WE ASSIGN RL to ISO CODE in SRM?
thanks
Muthu

Thanks Teja
Currently i dont have this ISO code RL in SRM but i do have in ecc
t006i = t006i must be same in ECC and SRM ?
but my requirement is below
in mm03
MM 1234 EA as Basic UOM and ORDER unit as RL .(1EA = 1RL)
i do have a contract for RL. no issues so far.
POs created with RL too in ECC classic.
since i do have one contract for one material as sos , always sc comes with RL and PO created. no issues.
while revising the GOA i do have issues
like below error.
just go to GOA change mode and check i get below error.
"conversion factors are allowed only in case of differing unit of measure"

ISO Code in Idocs,Language dependent settings,UoM "PCE" and Russian lang.

Dear EDI Experts,
I have to deal with the following issue:
MATMAS05 Idoc created via BD10 and covnerted to an XML file.
This files are "deployed" to SQL Servers in different countries, e.g. RUSSIA, UKRAINE.
When transferring that material master the ISO code for Base unit of measurement is "PCE" (Transaction CUNI) used for the idoc.
How can I establish the logic that when RU is language the ISO code "Шт." is sent, when UA it is "на".
Is there a language-dependent setting possible for the ISO-codes?
If not, any BADI possible?
Any help appreaciated.
Thanks so much.
Regards
JW

Hi there,
thanks a lot for your quick answer. Entries in table T006 and transcation CUNI are unerstood.
Entry for e.g. UoM "ST" in T006: ISO-Code "PCE"
When creating a material idoc MATMAS05 PCE is copied toe the repsective segment field. How can I establish that the system sends "Шт" for language RU and "на" for language UA.
Any standard setting available for such logic or is coding requested? If so, any BADI, FM you may recomment?
Thanks a lot
Cheers

Same ISO Code to multiple UOM

Hi Friends,
Can we assign same ISO code to multiple UOM's???. If so, what will be the efeect??
Thanks in advance,
Steve.

Hi,
Assignment of same ISO code to multiple UoM can be done, but the primary code checkbox must be ticked only for one, else would cause conflict for EDI.
The SAP help reads as below:
An ISO code can be assigned to several internal measurement units.
Use
The ISO code is important for EDI. It is used to convert the internal SAP
measurement units into standard measurement units. Data exchange
via EDI requires internal measurement units to be converted into standard
measurement units.
Hope the above answers your query.

Vivek

Unit of Measure PCE is not an ISO Code

Hi MDM Experts,
We experienced problems in transferring the Catalog item to the shopping cart. The following error message appears:
"Incomplete items in catalog. Only complete items were transferred "
I checked SLG1 for the OCI error message and found this log:
"Unit of measure PCE is not an ISO code. Item will not be transferred"
I checked table CUNI in both the ERP and SRM server and I found out that PCE is indeed an ISO code. How can I resolve this error? The system is saying that PCE is not an ISO code but the table shows that it is. Is this a bug or something?
Would appreciate your help. Thanks in advance!
ADP

It turned out that in ERP and SRM, ST is the ISO code used for UOM piece. The ISO code in the Data Manager was changed to synchronize the three systems.

Unit of measure is not an ISO code

Dear Expert,
Unit of measure M has ISO code MTR and Dimension length. the UOM is in sync with ECC6 . However when trying to order from srm it bounces back with error message Unit of Measure M is not an ISO code. Further checking in CUNI shows that the SI Unit is defined as the same as the UOM. I have tried to convert this but it is not allowing me to. Some uoms are unavailable in SRM such as KM and CM which may have something to do with it.
Can anyone advise what action to take.
Many Thanks

Hello,
In my system I have the same configuration. Are you creating a cart from catalog?
If so, you could try the following:
1. If it's possible, change the UoM in the catalog to match the ISO Code. In this case MTR.
2. If the first option is not possible, then code the BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER to convert the provided UOM to match the
ISO Code of the SRM system.
Remember that the check on the ISO Code takes place before the BADI is called so you need to clear the error message regarding the ISO Code from table et_messages.

ISO codes for Units of Measure

are the iso codes held in the uom the standard codes? are these sap standard or can these be amended to what is being output and received by the business for EDI?

Hi Smith,
Go through the below explanation, which would be helpful for you.
Check units of measurement
In applications you often have to make calculations with quantities and physical units. Units of measurement are needed for their screen display and for internal conversions (such as kilogram <-> gram, but also centimeter <-> inch). The international system of units (SI) is used for this.
The international system of units is based on seven basic units of measurement. All other units are derived from these basic units. Units of measurement that measure the same quantity (and can therefore be converted into each other) are included in a dimension.
Units of measurement are held centrally in the SAP System for all applications. The conversion factors are stored in the system with a unique internal key. The external display specifications are maintained for each unit of measurement language-dependently. A business key (3 characters) and a technical key (6 characters) should be maintained for each language.
Standard settings
In the standard delivery system, units of measurement are defined according to the international system of units (SI).
For a new installation, units of measurement are delivered in all clients. For upgrades, new units of measuremente are delivered only in Client 000. They then still have to be transported to the production clients.
Recommendation
If you intend to perform cross-company data exchange, note that units of measurement with company-specific characteristics may have an adverse effect.
Activities
Check that the dimensions delivered and the associated units of measurements are complete.
If you are using EDI, you should also check the ISO codes.
Dimensions
1. Call the maintenance transaction by double-clicking with the mouse on the Execute symbol.
2. On the initial screen of the maintenance transaction, call the function Dimensions
To get a definition of a dimension, place the cursor on the dimension and choose the function Details.
3. If required, create new dimensions with the function New entries.
Units of measurement
1. Call the maintenance transaction by double-clicking with the mouse on "Execute", or press F3 to leave dimension maintenance and return to the initial screen of the maintenance transaction.
2. Select - from F4 Help for the field next to the Units of Measurement function - the individiual dimensions, and choose the Units of Measurement function.
To get a definition of a unit of measurement, position the cursor on the unit of measurement and choose the function Details.
3. If required, define new units of measurement according to the international system of units (SI) with the menu function Unit of meaurement -> Create.
Here you have to make make specifications for:
Display (including a descriptive Units of measurement text)
Conversion (not applicable to units of measurement without dimensions)
Data exchange (EDI) (optional)
Application parameters
ISO codes
1. Call the maintenance transaction by double-clicking with the mouse on "Execute", or press F3 to leave maintenance of units of measurement or dimensions and return to the initial screen of the transaction.
2. Choose the function ISO codes.
3. If required, maintain new ISO codes with the function New entries.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Change of Company code from one Cons Group to another Cons Group.

Dear All,
Please advise on change of company code from one Cons Group to another Cons Group , we have Cons Structure - at present few companies are in one cons group and as a policy we have to move the companies to another cons group. So please advise me what will be the case if we move int he following senarios:
1. if till period 012 year 2008, company A is in Cons Group AA and we want the same to Cons Group BB. How it will move to Cons Group BB in a Company code with the opening balances?
2. if there is no data in SEM BCS total Cube - and we want to move the Company A from Cons Group AA to Cons Group BB.
What will be the effect in both the scenarios. How to do this? if you can specify some steps then I will try to analyze the situation.
Thanks in advance

The changes are not complicated but company A must be placed in cons group BB as of period 12 2008 and in the master data of the cons group it should be indicated that the first consolidation is at the end of the period (EOP). Likewise in cons group AA must continue to include company A but in the cons group master data it must be indicated that the period of divestiture is 12 2008 EOP.
The cons group changes tasks must be executed to move the balances in period 12 2008.
If there is not data for company A in the totals infocube you may simply drag-and-drop company A from cons group AA to cons group BB without any concerns.
The affect in each scenario is different because if there is data that is to be reported as part of cons group AA company A must be included in cons group AA.

Effects of changing Customer Account Group

Hi everyone!
What can be the effects of changing the account group of a customer code?
The customer code that will be changed already have some transactions but we need to change the account group.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Ricardo
Firstly changes in the account group and all partner functions can be made from lower group to higher group e.g. Sold to Party cant be given a payer role as this role is an existing role for Sold to Party
However you can assign the Sold to party to a Payer ..hope this is clear so u can change only <b>Ship to , Bill to & Payer</b>
The only implication which i see is if the customer is created for more than one Company code/Sales Area its better to block the customer until the customer is maintained for all company codes.
Hope this helps
Cheers
