How to make system consider Alternative unit of measure while creating BOM?

Dear Experts,
When creating a BOM, how do I make the system consider the alternative unit of measure if at the point of creating the BOM, I decide to use  the  component material  alternative unit of measure? The scenario is as follows:
Header
Material code is TK677, Base Unit of Measure is Litres.
Components:
Material code is RT677, Base Unit of measure is Litres.
Material code is RV677, Base Unit of measure is Kilogram.
When formulation is done in the laboratory, the components are weighed and measured in percentage weight. For example, 20% for first component (RT677)  and 80% (RV677) for the second component.
To depict this, I maintain an alternative unit of measure of Kg  in the Material Master of RT677, and maintain the conversion factor (100kg = 116Litres) so as to enable me use Kg as unit of measure for material RT677 when creating the BOM.
When creating the BOM, I enter Kg as unit of measure for material RT677, but gets the system error message ''Unit of measure KG not supported for material RT677 in plant NG00
Message no. 29175''
What do i need to do as I have already maintained Kg as alternative unit of measure? or which other better way should i handle this issue?

Thanks a lot for your reply, it worked, it allowed me to create the BOM using Kg for component RT677. But the new challenge i am now facing is that when I try to create a process order copyiing this BOM, it gives me the same unit (Kg) for component RT677 whose base unit of measure is Litres.
I actually want the process order to copy the BOM and use Litres  for component RT677 based on the conversion factor which I have maintained in the Additional Data window of the material master.
The reason is that, the formulation done in the lab is measured in percentage weight, but this component weight is now scaled up to Litres when the component is pumped into the Blending Vessels as specified in their Blending Instruction.
Please how do I ensure that when the master recipe is copied during creation of the Process Order, that the unit of measure will be the base unit of measure (Litres) despite the fact that I have used the alternative unit of measure (Kg) for this component during creation of the BOM.  
Thanks

  • Change Base unit of measurment while creating BOM-CS01

    Dear Experts,
    Base UoM in material master is in Metric Tonne "MT",While Creating the BOM of the Material My Base qunatity is also in MT by default but I want to change Base Uom to in KiloLiter "KL".But system is not allowing to change.
    In system there are many Transactions iof material in current period.
    Please suggest as it is in production server.
    Thanks,
    GBS

    Hi ,
    We are Using User Exists,
    If Production Order Header material's unit of entry is not same as base UOM then system will check conversion ratio maintained in material master-->additional data.
    Convert quantity in UOE to quantity in Base UOM for Header material i.e.101 movement.
    Calculate componenet quantity (261 movement) as per bom.
    Calculate 95% of component quantity for lower tolerance limit
    Calculate 105% of component quantity for upper tolerance limit
    If component quantity entered against 261 movement is not within lower and upper tolerance then system will give error message and will restrict to post entry.
    This for information part.But still my question is how can alt. Uom of Measurment can be used while creation of BOM instead of Base Uom at header level.

  • How to make the fields of the table mandatory while creating new entries..?

    Hi,
    I have created a new Z table which has 6 fields. All the 6 fields are KEY fields and all are of CHAR type. I have generated the table maintenance generator for the same. My requirement is all the fields should be MANDATORY while creating the entries. No field should be BLANK.
    When creating the new entries in the table, even if I don't give any values to some of the fields, it is saving the entry. But, it shouldn't happen like that. If any of the field is kept blank, it should not allow the user to save the entry. Can someone tell me how to approach this. Will there be any settings while creating the table which takes care of this.
    I read somewhere that this can be done using the Table EVENTS. Can someone tell me what is the code that we should write there in the Events which prevents the user from saving the blank fields. While writing the logic in the events, how to check whether the particular field is BLANK or not. Will the values be stored in any internal table kind of thing..?
    My table name is ZCRF_TAB and the fields are FLD!, FLD2, FLD3, FLD4, FLD5 & FLD6. Can someone provide me sample code for my requirement. Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Paddu.

    Hi,I think u have generated Table Maintainance Generator, goto Environment->Modifications->Events
    Select appropriate option by using F4,I think value 05 is appropriate for u r requirement.Enter From routine name.Dbl click on the routine.
    Write the appropriate code like:
    If ZTABLE-FIELD1 is initial.
    Message (E000) with "Fill all the manadatory fields".
    Thats it.Just look at the following docu with screenshots,by this understand how u can use Table Events:

  • Basic Unit of Measure & Alternative Unit of Measure ?

    How to configure basic and alternative unit of measure(UOM) for a material ?
    If   KG - basic UOM
        Mtrs - Alternative UOM
    Here we procure material (GR, PO) with basic UOM, no prob with this system ill pick basic UOM automatically.
    and if we need to make GI with Alternative UOM ?
    How to configure the above scenario ?
    thankq

    Hi,
    As you procure material (GR, PO) with basic UOM(KG) and you want to make GI in Mtrs - Alternative UOM.
    Go to MM02 , enter your material{( you must have UOM(KG) } and select view of “General Plant data/Storage 1” and in  “unit of issue” field enter meter, then system will ask you to enter conversion factor  Mtrs  to KG. Enter your conversion factor and save.
    Now try ur transaction.

  • Creation of Inspection lot in Alternative Unit of measure

    Dear Guru,
    Our implementation is going on in a Tube manufacturing company where Base Unit is maintain  in KG & 100 % visual inspection is taken place & we accept or reject tube on Pieces. So how can we do this in SAP, Because in SAP Inspection Lot is created on Base Unit & UD (Stock Movement) also in base unit, How can we in corporate Alternative Unit of measure.

    Hi,
          1. give unit of conversion in MM basic data (Unit of measurement) say 1 kg = 10 pieces
           2. add unit of issue as a Pieces in MM QM view
            3. add in inspection paln Unit of measure as Pieces ( if possible )
    Now during stock posting  post the stock KG  and now see in stock MMBE by changing the UOm as a pieces you will get the stock in pieces and you can now issue the material in pieces too.

  • Alternative unit of measure.. how in this scenario?

    Hi,
    KG is our base unit of measure
    and we would to use Littres(L) as the purchasing unit for this material.
    Therefore, we tried in system adding litres as alternative unit of measure.
    But we cannot figure out how to put in the density 0,87 kg/l as net weight only as gross weight.
    I have tried the below but system complained that "decimal places are not permitted"
    X----AUN-<=YBUnGrossWeight--NetWeight
    1-----L--<=-0,87--KG-0,87--
    1,000
    1,149-L--<=1--KG-0,87--
    1,000
    any clue?
    tjanks
    Tuff

    In purchasing view after defining alternative unit of measurement as L a POP up appears there you maintain as ,
    For ex:1kg-0.87L, then maintain such as 100 KG-87L.to avoide the decimal places.

  • Alternative units of measure are inconsistent; correct the values in SMW01

    Hi,
    when material replication process is happening we came across an error in SMW01.It shows
    Alternative units of measure are inconsistent; correct the values
    Message no. COM_PRODUCT_UNIT014
    Consider the below example
    we have maintained a material from KG to MM which is not a standard SAP conversion but client requires this conversion as
    Tubes (Steel) are mainly ordered in M (Meters) but invoiced by the supplier in KG. Then used in production in KG again. In that case we need a conversion M <-> KG.
    This is very common practice even in indirect material (e.g. Oil, you order barrels, tu vendor invoices KG and you handle Liters in your stock
    can anyone guide me if there is any BADI or SAP note available for this error.
    regards

    Hi,
    I have gone through that note it says that the corrections has to be done at BBPCRM component level but i have gone through the system component version i did not find CRM

  • Adding Alternative Unit of measure as part of  attributte of material

    Hi gurus,
    In our source system each material has alternative unit of measure which contain info on converting the base unit of measure (CAR) to MT and PAL.
    I need to add this info as part of material attribute
    e.g.
    Material "A" 10CART = 1 PAL & 100CART = 1MT
    This information captured in MM table "MARM" with material code as the
    As part of 0MATERIAL_ATTR , i need to have additional field that capture the info as below
    CARTPAL = 0.1 (1/10)
    CARTMT = 0.01 (1/100)
    Please help to advice on how to enhance the extractor to cater the above requirement.
    Your help highly appreciated
    Thank you

    hi,
    According to me you can enhance the 0Material_attr to bring the required information from ECC.
    But before enhancing anything ask func consultant or business below ques.
    1) will these unit entry will get created in MARM for any material at the creation of material or it will get updated later on
    2) will this unit value get change for any material during its entire life
    If any of above que ans is yes then how wud u manage in transaction data if unit get changed.
    For that u need to apply feedback concept in transaction dso.

  • Alternative unit of Measure for variant material

    Dear All,
    Here is an interesting scenario,
    There is a naterial Billet with two variant characteristics length and size. and base unit of measure is TON. Now alternative unit of measure is PCS.  How can define the conversion factor on the basis of these two variant characteristics.
    In normal material (without variant char.)
    we can define conversion factor 1PCS= 2TON
    For variant material,
    For the material Billet with variant charc length and size how can i define conversion
    so that system calculates diff. PCS with diff. length and size but material is same. So how can i Do that.
    for example for same material Billet but variant char. Length is 6 M and size is 120*120 ,its wt will be 2 TON for 1 PCS.
    for the same material Billet with variant char. length 12 M and size 120*120, its wt will be 12TON for 1 PCS.
    How can i cater this for the same material.

    Hi Shoaib,
    We have faced the similar scenario for steel industry. Based on my experience, it is not possible to define variable values for Alternative UOM conversion with the variant characteristic/configuration, specially if you want SAP to maintain inventory with variable conversion rate.
    Use the Batch specific unit of measure for this situation.
    1) Create batch specific UOM i.e. Ton_per_pc (TOP) --- User proportional unit conversion
    2) Create batch characteristic ton_per_pc and assigned UOm.
    3) In material master additonal data select proportion unit and enter the standard conversion rate between ton & pcs.
    4) While doing GR - In batch creation you can enter whatever the conversion rate is and Inventory will be updated accordingly.

    Ravi.

  • COPA reports - Quantity in alternative Unit of Measure

    Hi all
       My clients requirement is to dispaly quantities in both base UoM and alternative UoM in COPA reports. Alternative unit of measure and the conversion factor is maintained in the additional data of material master. After reading through several forums and documentation, i understand that this can be achieved using COPA enhancement COPA0005.
    I am thinking of creating new value field to store the quantity in alternative UoM and to calculate the required quantity using the conversion factors in MARM table.
    But I have a few questions regading the same.
    1. There are 2 function modules EXIT_SAPLKEII_001 and EXIT_SAPLKEII_002. Which one should i be using for my purpose?
    2. Should enchanement COPA0003 be actived first to make COPA0005 active?
    3. Is any other configuration required apart from created in new value field for quantity in alternative UoM.
    Thanks
    Vamsi
    Edited by: VamsiM on Mar 17, 2011 7:21 PM

    Thanks Ajay for ur reply.
    When I created the quantity value field (say VVXXX), added it to Op. Concern and regenerated the structure; the system itself created the quantity unit field  VVXXX_ME for alt UoM. This field is also added to field catalougue and is also readily avialable for used in KE30. So I didn't have to create a new Characteristic.
    In my case, the alternative UoM is not the same and depends on the material.

  • QAC1 in alternative unit of measure

    Hey All
    I need to know how can I make the quantity correction of actual quantity of inspection lot based on the alternative unit of measure not the base unit of measure?
    I have inspection lot (04) where it's actual quantity is in base unit of measure M2 but I need to make the correction in CAR which is the alternative UOM.
    As i know there is a SAP not that allows the posting at UD to be done in alternative unit of measure so I am asking if there is any similar solution for QAC1?
    I need that urgently and Thanks in advance

    Hi All,
    Can some one guide me how to upload alternative unit of measure using MASS Transaction -  can you elaborate like fields to be considered also, as I am trying using MM17 but could not go further.
    Thanks,
    Vengal Rao.

    it is possible to create alternative units using MM17. But I would not use the word upload in that matter, as you cannot upload from an external file.
    start MM17-
    select table MARM and execute
    you see 2 tabs,
    you are at the Change record tab, please set indicator for do not change existing data, then go to the creation tab
    enter the material number and the alternative unit you want add .
    then execute
    Now you see your material number, the new unit and the material description
    click the icon for field selection and add the field nominator and denominator (and all other fields where you usually enter data) to your shown fields.
    enter the value of your choice and save.
    if you want add the same value for nominator and denominator  to all the materials listed, then enter the value  in the fields that are listed above the listed materials. then click the header title above all fields that shall be distributed followed by the mass change button. Finally press save button.
