Item Unit of Measure Change

We have some items that already have purchase orders, but we need to change their unit of measure for the future. It will not let us change the UOM field since there are already associated transactions, but is there a way around this through the DTW or SQL tables?

Hi Aaron,
Technically, it is possible by creating a new Form with a Matrix to save UoMs and convert them into multiple different factors.
In existing B1,you can create a UDF in the Item Master and maintain conversion factors which is editable. When you are using the OITM, Items per Base Unit field, call the UDF UID. It should solve your issue.

Material Master Unit Of Measurement Changes Clarification

Hi
We have a material master with base unit of measurement as FT in basic data 1 view.
For this we have already some purchsing documents like PO's and PR's
But currently we dont have any open PO (or) PR and stock in system.
Still we could not change the base unit of measurement from FT to M..
Why?
Vijay

Hello All,
The error shows some of PR's and PO's numbers.
when i check the material in table MBEWH i can see some of the stocks for previous period like year 2009 and the period 06 and some of the previous year like 2008 and 2007 also having some stocks.
Now advise.

Unit of measure changed in BOM not reflected in Production order

We noticed the following problem in one of our production order.
1. We have a bom component having a unit of measure MT.
2. A planned order already exists for this header material.
3. We changed the unit of masure in the same BOM component to KG.
4. We processed the production order and did confirmations and did auto GR.( Value 20 times high)
5. The cost at GR is very high , although the material consumption is considering the changed unit of measure KG.
Any possible solution to this problem,
Thanks,
Manohar

All steps suggested including read PP master data , rerun MRP and generate a new planned order and then convert to a new production order, have been done but the effect at 101 remains same with high actual costs.
The production order is acocunt-assigned to a WBS.
In table QBEW , the standard price is updated as very high. We havs S as price control in header material master.
May be , some one has some idea about how the standard price in Table QBEW gets updated. What is the source for this standard price which gets updated on doing GR ( It comes to project stock and we see the standard price being very high and so the actual cost is very high)
Thanks,
Manohar

ME51n, ME21n Unit of measure F4 shows all units

Dear Gurus,
Transaction ME51n & Me21n
PR & PO line item Unit of Measure F4 show only commercial unit list. This is Ok.
But when we create Service PR or Service PO, the Item service details Unit of Measure F4 shows all Unit of measures (all entries in table T006) (commercial unit + other non commercial units).
Kindly inform why the Service detail Unit of Measure F4 show all the list.
Is it correct system behavior?
Thanks and Best Regards,
Mohan

i believe there is nothing worng with the system
as both are different table and moreover the data element for the field MIENS in both the tables is different
and i believe that reasons behind this is in case of service unit of measure can be a non dimenetional one as it is a functional requirement or a businees requirement
but in case if you order a material then in that case you need a specific and comercial unit of measurement
so as per my undersatanding nothing wrong in the system

Change Unit of Measure for Non-stock item PR

Good day!
I have created a non-stock PR. After I saved it, the transaction was then converted to RFQ and then to PO. In PO, it was found out that the unit of measure was incorrect. We have reverse/cancelled both RFQ and PO but the unit of measure field is non-editable. Is there another way to change this aside from deleting and recreating the item?
Thank you.

hi,
Its correct...It is always follows the same scenerio...
You can only change the Unit of measure when you have just saved the document and can change it till the further document is not made for it...
Once you make the further document like as you said you have made RFQ, its not possible to make change further...
So, the alternative is you delete the exsisting line item and create the new one...
For the same, create the new RFQ and PO items as well...

Change for Unit of measure in condition master

Hi, gurus..
I want to know this is SAP error or not..
I created condition for material H20.
H20     70500 usd per 1 SET
and edited the unit of measure in addtion of material master record.
1 EA - 1EA
1 SET - 6 EA
then I create SO in VA01 with line item
H20   1EA   ...
but condition record showed me a wrong value..
H20    11774 usd per 1EA...
70500 / 6 = 11750 usd..Why 11774...??
So, I changed the condition for more test..
H20 11750 usd per 1EA...
After input line item in VA01.
H20 1 Set...
then condition was 70500 usd per 1 SET ..Right result..
I tried it on other system ( Best Practices 1606) once more but result was same.
This is SAP ERROR ??? or not..
Plz..give me your ideas..

Dear Kim,
this error will come due to conversion factor at sales order level .kindly check in the item level how the conversion factor will take the system and also try to change the Quantity and check once again. this will come rare case , if you want to check the conversion error ,debug at the sales order level . for your reference I am attachment the conversion factor path .

How can i change unit of measurement in sales order on header

Dear all,
I have material master with base unit of measurement " Ea ".
I have to take unit Pc in sales order.
how can i change unit on header in sales order.
i changed unit on line item in sales order by setting in sales unit field in material master.

Hi,
You can very well do it, please do the following steps,
Go to material master and select the Sales Org.1 and 2, here maintain the sales unit PC and
it will ask you for the conversion, so maintain your conversion for PC to EA. Then maintain
the Division, delivery plant, material pricing group and account assignment group(if not maintained) and save it
Now create the sales order for that resp. material, you will find that system will pick up
the sales unit which is maintained in the material master's sales orgnization tab.
For this you need not to change at the header level of sales order
Please check and revert.
Thanks,
Hrishi

Unit of measure for Stock and Non-stock Item in CJ20N

When I attach Material to an activity (item Category N Non-stock item) in Project Builder (CJ20N), It is peaking its Base unit of Measure as unit. Now when I try to change it, it is showing an error
Item category N: Only base unit of measure M allowed
Message no. CO344
But for the same material if I change the item Category to L Stock item, then it allows me to change the unit.
Please guide me regarding this Behavior. Is there any customization, by doing which it will allow me do the same for Non-stock Item or It is not Possible.

firstly I am assuming that the activity is internal processing type - doesn't matter really
now to attach a material select actvity and from the template area click and drag material which will open the material detail screen in the work area
because it is a non stock item I am assuming text description - in the requirements qty you enter the qty and next to it the units - changeable
if you choose a material number maintained as material master then obviously the unit will be from the material master.
If you are using an externally processing activity then in config check OPUU for the network type and see if order unit has been populated - that might be the problem

Issue: Proportion/produciton unit of measure NO is invalid for item 900001.

Hi All,
Issue: Proportion/produciton unit of measure NO is invalid for item 900001.
Here we have MTO Scenario: In outbound delivery when we do batch split & batch determination we are getting the above error.
Consider the following settings: at MM01 - Prodution/Proportion unit data is maintained with a characterstic specific to batch. Means Batch specific unit of measurement. In Work scheduling view produciton unit, unit of issue are maintained as 'NO'. All these settings are same for all material codes.
Please suggest us why we are getting the issue for perticular material coce.
Info: We resolve the issue by adding one more line item in the sales order & do the transfer posting the stock from line item to line item. But this is not the permanent solution.
Regards
Chowdary

I believe the error message no is VL 382 (Proportion/product unit of measure & invalid for item &)
You need to double click on the error message flashing on the status bar to get the error number.
I believe long text for the error message is self explainatary. Refer it and make necessary changes to resolve the issue.
Diagnosis
You want to use a proportion / product unit for an item.
You are not allowed to change the unit of measure into a proportion / product unit if:
- The following exist for a sales document item:
Preceding documents
Subsequent documents
- You are processing a scheduling agreement for the component supply industry
- You change the target unit of measure in a scheduling agreement item (and the sales unit is not a proportion / product unit)
- You are processing a customer requirements plan
- The following exist for a delivery item:
Preceding documents
Subsequent documents
Batch split items
- You are processing a batch split item
Procedure
Use a different unit of measure.
If you want to change the target unit of measure into a proportion / product unit in a scheduling agreement item, you need to change the sales unit accordingly. The system then sets the target unit of measure to the same as the sales unit.
Further, if you are working on older version, refer SAP Note 364206 - VLSP:indic.for proportion/product quantities deletd.

Changes in Base Unit of Measure

Hi,
We got an issue,User tried to change the Base unit of Measure from NO to KG.
1.For this material we dont have stock in unrestricted and quality,But it has reservations. 2.It has got Scheduling agreement,3.This material is used In BOM.
So if i cancel reservations,then remove this item from scheduling agreement and delete it from BOM.Will it work further to change the Base Unit of Measure.
Please Do help me in this matter
Thanks and Regards

1) You can only change the base units of measure under the following circumstances
No stocks are available for the material.
There are no existing purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.
At present, no purchase orders or purchase order items are being created or changed.
Item is not linked in any BOM as chield part
If requests for quotations, purchasing info records, or contracts are available for a material, the system emits a warning while changing base unit of measure. Still if you want to change unit of measure specify in a dialog box the factor for converting the base unit of measure into the new base unit of measure. The purchasing info records are then, if necessary, updated.
2) Solution
   As system is not allowing changing base unit of measure there will be either stock of this material or existing purchase document
1) If there are stocks in the previous period, you can clear them as follows:
a) Post the stock in the previous period to the current period (for example, using movement type 561) so that the stock for the previous period is the same as the stock for the current period.
b) Clear the stock with the posting date in the previous period (for example, using movement type 562).
2) If there are Open purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.complete all P2P cycle for open orders (purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements) and then close it.
3)Delete item from BOM
Then
1.     Run Trnx MM02 (Change Material Master immediately.
2.     Overwrite the old base unit of measure with the new one in basic data screen.
3.     Save the change.
3) System checks
If a change criterion (Trnx. code MM02) is meeting all necessary prerequisites (as mentioned in point 1).System allows changing base unit of measure. Otherwise it displays warning or error. U can display the reason for this, by choosing Display Errors (ctrl+F1)

RWBE and changing Alternative Units of Measure

Hi
I'm trying to use RWBE to view the stock holding of multiple materials. I want to change the base unit from Ea's to TON's for all the materials in the list however it seems that I can only do this one at a time for each material in the list. If I change the list display to the "Tree Structure" I get an ABAP dump when attempting to convert all the items at the same time.
Can this be done using RWBE or is there an alternative report which can be used.
Thanks in advance
FYI- MMBE is not an option since I need to view materials u201Cen massu201D

Hi,
To Check the available unit of measures or to create below gfiven the Path

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
Kishore
