KEPM - conversion of measure unit

Hi gurus,
Does the conversion of measure units in KE4MS works in KEPM ?
When i do the forecast i plan in UN (units) but i also want to convert that quantitie to KG.
This conversion is working on the CO-PA actual values but in the planning doesn't.
Any idea,how to convert it automaticaly ?
Thanks

Hi,
In KEPM is not carried out any translation or recalculation based on the unit of measure (UOM). If the respective UOM is a part of your planning level, you always enter the UOM you want to use and enter the respective value of the quantity field which is related to the UOM you entered.
Thus you can plan with more than one UOM for one product (this represent more lines in layout in KEPM).
On the other hand when the UOM is not a part of the planning level, you enter only quantity and the related UOM is derived by the system based on your customizing in the derivation.
So that in the first case the UOM is entered directly by user, in the second case it is calculated by the system automaticaly. There are no retranslation between different UOM. As soon as you have entered the planning data with the given UOM, this data exists and you cannot change somehow the UOM expecting recalculation. You can only change the quantity or enter new object with new UOM.
After the derivation is checked, if the derived UOM is the same like the original UOM (since it is not allowed to copy e.g. 10 KG and than post the data for 10 POUNDS) then the data is posted. But for some objects it is not the same and hence the error msg KG076 is issued.

How to model a conversion table for unit of measures?

Hi
I am looking for some input on how to model a many-to-many relationship.
The situation:
A fact table with columns:
Product
Unit of Measure
Date
Value
1 product is stored with 1 and only 1 unit of measure - e.g. Product = Oil, unit of measure = m3
The fact contains several products, each having its own unit of measure.
A dimension 'Unit of measures' with columns
Unit Of Measure
Unit Of Measure Name
Measure System
While reporting on the facts it should be possible to chose the unit of measure I want to see my facts in. E.g. I want to be able to show Oil-production in m3 or barrels or liters, etc.
My challenge:
How to model this requirement?
Right now I tend to go for a bridge table between the fact and the dimension.
But I was wondering:
a) are there other ways to model it
b) are there pitfalls in using Bridge tables?
c) Can I re-use the bridge table in combination with other facts as the model grows?
c.2) do I need to create an alias on the bridge table to re-use it?
Thanks for your help
regards
Andy

Hi Kart,
ok let's say my model looks like this (columns below the tables names, sample in brackets) - again ignoring a date dimension:
Dim_Product --- 1:n --- Fact ----- n:1 ----- Dim_UOM
Id (1,2) Prod_id Id (1,2,3)
Name (Oil, Gas) UOM_id Name (m3, Barrel, Litre)
Value
So the products are coming from the Dim_product, Unit_of measures coming from Dim_UOM.
Fact values would look like this
Prod_id UOM_id Value
1 1 10
1 2 84
1 3 10000
etc
If I need to report in a new measure, I would be forced to add a new record to the fact table
Prod_id UOM_id Value
1 1 10
1 2 84
1 3 10000
1 4 150
with 4 being the new measure id.
What I am looking for is a way to be more flexible when it comes to converting values to different measures.
Thanks
Regards
Andy

Conversion of Order Unit to Base Unit

Hi Friends,
How to set the conversion of Order Unit to Base unit.
The scenario is like this. Purchase order is made in Rolls but the stocking will be in meter. I my case, when the GR is made in meter, the rolls should be multiplied by 65. Instead the system is dividing the rolls by 65 meters which is wrong.
I want to correct same, but dont know where to do.
Kindly guide me to correct this.
TIA.
Regards,
Mark K

Hi Mark,
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.
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.
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.
We suggest completing all P2P cycle for open orders (purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements) and then close it.
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.
Reward points for helpful.

MAM 3.0: Measurement units

Hy everybody
We are implementing MAM 3.0 with Laptop GUI. Now we have the following problem:
When I try to creat a time confirmation the fields are filled with the datas of the activity in the order - also the measurement unit like hours or minutes. When I try to save the time confirmation I recieve an error: "Mearurement unit invalid". When I pic the same unit from the search help I do not recieve this error and I can save the confirmation....
Anybody know was this could be? On a other MAM installation (other customer) i do not have this problem.
Thanks and regards,
Claudine

Hi Claudine!
It looks like it is some issue with the Measurement Unit Conversion(Internal Vs External).Pl verify table T006 for details in your Backend System.Especially the Int.Unit, Commercial Unit & Technical Unit and see which one is used when you fill in the data from your order & which one is used when you use the Drop Down Value.
Also verify how the Unit is actually being displayed(output screen display in SAP) in your order and see if it matches the display in your dropdown.
It is definitely Unit Conversion Issue between your Order and the dropdown value.
Since it is happening correctly when you pick the Dropdown Values and incorrectly when you fill the data from ur order, I donot think there is any issue with the Time Format under device settings in your MAM Scenario.you may have to take a close look at your order because this fills in the Unit when you donot pick from the dropdown.
Let me know the results.
Thank You

Application measurement/unit preferences (picas vs pixels)

Hello,
I need to adjust the geometricbounds of an Image within a rectangle via a JS script. But when I get the Geometric bounds for my image, it is not using the pixels unit for measurement, its using picas. However, if I manually adjust the preferences in my Desktop Indesign to Pixels, the script runs correctly.
How can I change the preferences to "Pixels" from within my script so that I don't have to check manually?
Thanks in advance!!
Lloyd

It should be possible to test a document for its measurement units then use unit values to do the conversion… This was with a quick play NOT very well thought through I must admit but it may be the way to go on this…
#target indesign
app.activate();
var docRef = app.activeDocument;
with (docRef) {
     var uU = userUnits(docRef);
     $.writeln(uU);
     var rb = spreads[0].rectangles[0].geometricBounds;
     $.writeln(rb);
     // 9.99999999999999,9.99999999999999,80,110 as millimeters my prefs
     var a = new UnitValue(5,'pt');
     $.writeln(a.as(uU));
     // 1.76388888888889
     var nb = new Array(rb[0], rb[1], rb[2]+a.as(uU), rb[3]+a.as(uU));
     $.writeln(nb);
     // 9.99999999999999,9.99999999999999,81.7638888888889,111.763888888889
     spreads[0].rectangles[0].geometricBounds = nb;
// I only bothered to check in one direction…
function userUnits(doc) {
     switch (doc.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits) {
          case 2054188905 : uU = 'pt' break;
          case 2054187363 : uU = 'pc' break;
          case 2053729891 : uU = 'inch' break;
          case 2053729892 : uU = 'inch' break;
          case 2053991795 : uU = 'mm' break;
          case 2053336435 : uU = 'cm' break;
          case 2053335395 : uU = 'ci' break;
          case 1131639917 : uU = '?????'; // What do with this?
     return uU;
It would appear to give me the same results as using mixed measures in the GUI but I've not tested much…

Conversion of dimensionless units is not possible

Dear All,
i have maintain WM configuration. but while creating and saving a MIGO document w.r.t PO errors shows "Conversion of dimensionless units is not possible".
Waiting for favourable response
regards
Mahesh Dasari

"what units do you use in the goods receipt, in the purchase order, in the price conditions of the PO.
Have you checked CUNI if there is a conversion maintained for your unit pc ?"
Unit used in GR and PO is PC and in CUNI no conversion is maintained for this Unit.

Inspection lot measure unit

Hello,
I am straggling to find out where from the maintenance inspection lot (source 14) takes the "measure unit" to the inspection lot quantities tab?.
I find that "The system always selects the base unit of measure from the material master as the unit of measure for the inspection lot quantity"
But I works with inspection lot type 14 based on function location
Our BW team says that those units make them a lot of trouble
Best regards
eyal

Hi,
As per SAP help, system creates lot for maintenance order and for each piece of equipment.
My understanding is ,system always takes measurement unit in Inspection lot as PC for Inspection type 14
How ever for materials i.e ROH , HALB, FERT with inspection types 01,03,04,08 etc etc it takes from the material master as you mentioned.

Nitin

Problems with insert EN-Text for an measurement unit

Hi,
i will give an own measurement unit (VE), which we have inserted
in german and an german text (T006A), also an english text.
I searched via spro but i don't find any customizing entry to do this.
Isn't there any customizing for this??
How can i solve it?
Thanks.
Regards, Dieter

Simple solved by login in SAP with
Language = 'EN' (normally in DE).
Than i could enter the text in EN.
But is'nt there any customizing-posibility?

Getting No measurement unit is assigned to ISO-Code in BAPI_SHIPMENT_CREATE

I have been entering all the required value in order to create a new shipment number linked to a delivery number and am getting the return: No measurement unit is assigned to ISO-Code SEC
Could someone please help me or guide me in another direction to create a shipment number?
Thank you in advance

Thx for the fast reply.
I sent an OSS to SAP and they replied with this:
If there is a different order price unit in the purchase order, the
fields Quantity in order price unit (PO_PR_QNT) and Order price unit
(PO_PR_UOM), or Order price unit in ISO code (PO_PR_UOM_ISO) must be
filled as well.
As in your case, 'Order Unit' and 'Order Price Unit' may not the same,
you need to input the above mentioned fields as well.
Can someone tell me where are the fields mentioned above? None of the parameters have these fields.
Thanks in advance

Measurement units of gridPreferences

Hi,
how can I unify the measurement units of preferences. For example: I want to know the amount of space between baseline grid lines. This works:
var grid = app.activeDoucument.gridPreferences.baselineDivision;
However, in InDesign the value is 14.4Pt, but the script tells me: grid = 5.08. I don't know what unit this is supposed to be, but is there a way to get the pt-value?
Thanks for your help.

Some items are always measured in points, especially those related to type.
Except that you can always override them, if you really want:
app.selection[0].pointSize = "5mm";
Sure, but it's always measured in points. I you set the default units, or even if you set it that way once, if you ask ID what it is, it will tell you in points:
>> app.selection[0].pointSize="5mm"
5mm
>> app.selection[0].pointSize

Linking Time/Measurement unit to infotype 0040

Hi All,
In infotype 0040 - Objects on Loan, the unit currently defaulting is just "PIECES". I have a need to add more units.
I have created another unit in config [SPRO - Personal Mgmnt - Personal Administration - Basic Settings - Create units of Time/Measurement], but have not been able to find how to link this new unit to infotype 0040.
Could anyone please let me know how I would be able to acheive this ?
Thank you,
Satish

Hi Satish,
Add that measurement unit as a permissible unit for IT0040 via table V_T538C.

Measurement unit to estimate job role maintenance effort

Hi all,
Can anyone share some ideas or experience in this case: In system ERP2005, developer provide all job role menu tcode, org level values and authorization object values, job role administrator only need to follow all provided information to create job role, generate profile and create transport.
The question is what measurement unit should be used to estimate job role administrator effort. My first idea is number of authorization objects, e.g. S_TCODE, S_DEVELOP, S_DATASET....
Thanks in advance.

Hi Julius,
Thanks for your suggestion. In our case, developer knows all the required authorization objects before pass it to job role admin, therefore the effort of admin is minimal.
