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.

Valuation of characteristics for unit of measure "" causes rounding diff

Dear gurus,
I am facing a problem on Goods Issue and Transfer Posting. My Material is maintained with Batch Specific Unit of Measure.
Base Unit = Kg ,and Batch specific unit of Measure = BAL(Bales).
My unit of Issue = BAL. For every bale at the the time of GR, i m storing the wieght of the Bales in the system. Now at the time of Issue and transfer posting, system is giving the following error message:
"Valuation of characteristic for unit of measure BAL causes rounding diff"
In unit = KG, Decimal places = 7, Decimal places rounding = 7
In Unit = BAL, decimal places = 3, Decimal places rounding = 3.
Kindly help me guys...
Thanks

Dear Johi,
See SAP NOTE 147489 - Error XU033 in goods movement with active ingredient. If you doesn't need to check rounding errors:
"For this use the following path: Logistics -> General -> Batch Management -> Define System Message Attributes (Transaction OCHS)."
Edit the system message XU03 to no errors.

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.

Prevent change unit of measure on a component in an order

Hello,
Is it possible to prevent the user to change the unit of measure (UM) in the component of an order.
What I need is the unit of measure from the material master without the possibility to change it.
Thanks,
François

thyagarajan,
By default, the system displays the Unit of issue entered in the material master. If none exists, SAP display the Base Unit of Measure.
The problem we're facing is when many units exists in the material master.
Example: "EA" Each and "DZ" Dozen is defined in the Mat. Master, with obviously defined as 1 dozen equals 12 each.
If a user enters 1 "EA" in the ORDER but the Unit of issue is in DZ, the Procurement side will see that they need to buy 0,08 DZ wich is impossible because material is sold by dozens...
We need to prevent the usage of smaller unit equivalent on the order side.
What do you suggest?
François

Reporting Data in Alternate Units of Measure

We have a requirement to report data in base unit of measure and also in pounds and kilograms. I have read the paper "How to Report Data in Alternate Units of Measure". My problem is that in our R/3 system the conversion from base unit of measure to pounds is maintained, but no conversion from base unit of measure to kilograms is maintained. In BW, I have 0MAT_UNIT for conversion to pounds but not to kilograms. For the solution to work, am I correct in thinking that the conversion to kilograms must exist in 0MAT_UNIT?
Also, the paper states that it is applicable to BW releases 2.0A to 3.1C. Those of you on BW 3.5 - is there new functionality or a different way of handling reporting in alternate units of measure?
Thanks for your help,
Gail Bodner

Gail,
Nothing new in 3.5 for UoM conversion. It will still have to be the way described in the How To paper.
Maintin the conversion in R/3. Also, Pounds to KG is a standard coversion - you can hard code it too. Issue in UoM conversion comes in where you cut across type of uints, i.e. from vol. to weight. Then additional information like density is needed but within the same area, it shouldn't be a problem.

I live in the UK : How do I change the unit of measurement from inches to metric in iPhoto

I live in the UK : How do i change the default unit of measurement from inches to metric?

Terence
Thanks for your answer to my question. I have tried what you suggested and 'metric' was already set as the default so unfortunately, it has not solved my problem which is when I set the dimensions for the print size before printing, I have to change from 'inches' to 'cms' for each photo every time. I was hoping that I would be able to set 'cms' as the default.
Hope you can help me.

Problem in displaying totals based on the Unit of measurement.

Hi,
I have Problem in displaying totals based on the Unit of measurement.
I want to display the total in the output of the alv based on the unit of measurement. for example i have three fields in the output namely
Matnr           Quantity      UOM
51                10              EA
61                10              KG
71                10              KG
In the total i should get
                10         EA
                20         KG
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
The basic req is the exclude the qty with unit EA(each) in the totals.
Thanks,
Amit

H i,
you can use the collect statement
to get the proper result
loop at itab. ( all the records)
move all the fields from itab to another
collect itab1.
write: itab1-fields, itab1-fields.
endloop.
this will solve your problem
reward points if helpful,
thanks & regards,

Problem with Unit of measurement

Hi,
I am having problem with Unit of measurement with different languages.
Eg:
In SPRO, I am able to see the unit of measure T3 Description: (Trading unit). in SAP 200 client .the logon language is EN(english).
But if I logon into same client(200) with different language DE(german) version, I am not able to see the description in German, the description field is blank.
Kindly give me a solution for this problem as it is very urgent.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shankar

Hi Aishwarya,
I can think of 2 possibilities:
1. You need to verify passing the Target UoM with the ISO Code as well as the update flag in the 'X' structures.
2. The material that you are trying to pass some UoM does not have the conversion maintained in the Material Master. (Base UoM --> Target UoM conversion in Material Master, contact Functional Consultant).
Also, if you can verify by performing the action manually and check if the Sales Order is getting created manually with the Target UoM .

Pranav.

Conversion Problem in Unit of measure 1PAC=100,000 EA

Hi Experts,
I am facing the problem in conversion of Unit of Measures.
If some material has the conversion unit when we order to Vendor.
The Unit of measure is EA, the Order unit is PAC.
The conversion is 1PAC=100,000 EA
But the System is allowing as 1PAC=10,000 EA only and it is not allowing to enter 100,000 EA and throughing the error
Entry too long (enter in the format __,___)
Message no. 00089
How can we increase the characters of the Unit of measure. Like this we have some 50 Materials, I need to increase the length of the conversion spaces. How to do it, Please guide me.

Hi
you can check this out the denominator factor is Stored in structure - SMEINH - field UMREN.
Best option is to maintain decimal place for the UOM , which is more easier to mainatin.
Even if you go through the note the same is explained. Please read below for Too large numerators and denominators
When 120000 CM3 = 0,2 tons (TO), you can no longer save numerator and denominator of conversion ratio 600000 CM3 = 1 TO as numerator and denominator may have maximally five digits.
Here, you must either select a larger volume unit or a smaller unit of weight: With DM3 the conversion ratio would be 600 DM3 = 1 TO, with KG the conversion ratio would be 600 CM3 = 1 KG.
Generally, the alternative units of measure and the base unit of measure should result in quantities that are in the same dimension since the conversion factors may not be larger than 99999/1 and not smaller than 1/99999.
Thanks & Regards

Pricing Record Problem (alternative Unit of Measure)

I am facing a problem in Pricing i.e that the Price is mainly maintained in Base unit of measure(CRT) but the selling is both in Crates and Bottels and the bottels is alternate UOM and Crate is the main unit of measure 90 % sales in crates. but when i enter the qty in alternative uom i.e is bottel price is not calcuated propery
Example
1 crt 24 bt
Price of one crate =216
when i enter bottels as uom the price should be 9 but system is showing 9.07

Hi
Litres is the Base unit of measure and Bottles and Carats are Sales unit of Measure in Ur case and u have maintained wrong figures
Please maintained in this fashion
1) 1 bottle = x litres
2) 1 carat = y litres
in this way when u enter the 1 carat in Sales order system will go here and take the price of 1 litre and then multiply by ( This conversion factor in ur case y units)
so u will get price as 1*y rs .
In pricing please check what condition record u have maintained . Generally condition records are maintained in Base unit of measure i.e the condition record will say 1litre cost Rs 11 .
Hope this calrify .

Unit of measure language problem

Hi experts,
I'm selecting matnr and meins from MARA. In SE11 I see the meins in my language (DB), but when I'm executing my program than I see the Unit of measure as 'ST' (Stück).
Could you help me in how can I get the unit of measure in a certain language?

Wenonah that won't work since the meins in MARA cannot be found in T006.
But finally I found a function module which solves my problem:
CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT
Thanks everybody to trying to help me, I appreciate it.

Alternative Unit of Measurement Problem

Dear Gurus,
My problem is once I activate altyernative UOM in material master, while issuing materials it is accepting any UOM along with the UOM which is mentioned .
For example my Base unit of measure is TO and my alternative UOM is FT3 . But while i am issuing material using HL or CD3 it is accepting and post the entry without any message.
Kindly help me out to restrict alternative UOM which i am defined in Material Master.
Thanks in advance

Material upload: alternate unit of measure problem

Hello,
I'm uploading materials using LSMW (BAPI nethod: BUS1001006). I have a problem for the records with alternate units of measure. I put the units in a separate file and map the ISO code and the Numerator. However, I receive an error M3333 for the materials with 2 rows (one basic UoM and other alternate), which says that I have to maintain conversion factors for the alternate UoM. I thought, I'm doing so by providing Numerator (E1BP_MARM-NUMERATOR), but somehow it's not enough.
Any assistance will be highly appreciated
Thanks in advance,
Eli
