Material Conversion
Hi
We have a scenario, in which, we need to do a material to material conversion. The requirement is that 10 Units of Material A is converted to 7 units of Material B. The busines requirement for accounting Entry is
Stock -Mat B Dr
To Stock - Mat A
We tried to do this through MB1B using Movement Type 309. However, in that case, we can do Conversion of 1 unit of Mat A to 1 Unit of Mat B. How do we do this transaction.
regards
Prasanna
Hi
My client Requirement is same as sub contracting process
In the sub contracting process, while making GRN the account entries will be:
Stock A/c Material A - Credit
To Consumption A/c - Debit
Stock A/c Material B - Debit
To Change in Stock A/c - Credit
Now my client don't want to post to consumption account, Required accounting entry is:
Stock A/c Material A - Credit
To Stock A/c Material B - Debit
Any work around is available, please help

Hi gurus,
i have executed a query and i have tried to drill on material then i got an error saying that
internal system error....BMG135
which says material conversion settings not found...
how to solve this error and fix so that i can see the material in my report.
thanks
NeelHi,
take a look
0MATERIAL conversion exit
execute report (transaction se38) RSCC_V_TMCNV helps.
Set the length of 0MATERIAL and change conversion to alpha:
Re: Error Installing 0MATERIAL from Business Content
oss note 555675
Solution
Make the settings for the material number conversion.
In BW Release 2.1C, the settings are maintained for the material number conversion via report RSCC_V_TMCNV.
As of BW Release 3.0A, the settings are maintained for the material number conversion via transaction OMSL.
Select the same settings as the settings made in the OLTP system.
Note that you must also perform the setting in client 000 if the error occurred while you were importing a transport request.
hope this helps.
Go to transaction OMSL in BW and set the length of material number same as that in transaction OMSL in R/3, should resolve the problem.
hope it helps

Material conversion into APO Material?
hi experts,
the characteristic for material in the BW system (0MATERIAL) is 18 characters long, and in SCM (9AMATNR u2013 here ZAMATNR) it is 40 characters long.
In order to compensate for this difference, you need in the transformation from BW to SCM, we can use the below standard conversion exits:
CONVERSION_EXIT_PRODU_OUTPUT (to remove leading zeros from 0MATERIAL)
CONVERSION_EXIT_PRODU_INPUT (to set leading zeros on ZAMATNR)
How and where to write the code and includes those above function modules in order to achieve that?
regards
venuscmKarthik,
Absolutely, this is an acceptable way to manage lower level parts.
If part of your 'feasible' production plan includes a product check of lower level parts, then yes, you need to send across all MRP relevant elements for the lower level materials. All demand elements, and all supply elements, including stock,
I caution you not to inadvertently plan any such materials in both systems. R/3 will automatically pass dependent requirements from the X0 parts (which were generated in APO) down to the lower level parts, and it will assume that you plan them in R/3. Ensure that your APO heuristics exclude these lower level parts in APO.

MATERIAL CONVERSION FOR MASTER
HI,
I have problem in calculating gross and net weight of material. Pls help me to correct in master
we have 1.300 MT bags contains gross weight is 1303 and net weight is 1300. we have 10 bags = 13 MT
currently we have maintained in master in add data as 1 MT = 1 MT, 1000 kg = 1 mt and 10 bags = 13 mt.
can help me what correction I have to do for calculate correct Gross Weight.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
TarunkumarHi,
The conversion only for net weight.
kindly check is there any price vaiance if you miss the .3 kg of gross weight.
becuase the price per kg for net weight ( i am assuming)
then what issue you are facing in difference of gross weight.

Hi,
I want to post material no.413003 to material no. 160003 through MB1B through movement type 309, but its not happening showing following error.
" Stockkeeping unit EA and KG differ "
Material Code 413003 (Brass component) base unit is EA and storage location is SCRP plant 101
Material Code 160003 (Brass scrap) base unit is KG and storage location is SCRP plant 101
For 413003 - In Material master additional tab following entries there
1 EA each <==> 1 EA each
1 KG kg <==> 14706 EA each
Also I given "Unit of issue" field in Material master Plant data/ Storage location view as KG in 413003 and conversion factor as 14706, but still the same error is showing in MB1B.
I Tried to delete 1st entry from additional tab in material master for 413003 but system won't allow to delete stating error message is "The base unit of measure can not be deleted"
regards
NitinDear Balarajumm
Thanks for your reply.
I can't change the base unit, because its need of the business, sometimes some products uses KG and EA units simultenously. Without changing base unit, please let me know how I can transfer from one material to another material. If mov,type 309 doesn't work OK, I will follow other procedure which solve my issue, but I can't change base unit of the material.

Conversion of External material with Internal using search help
Hi,
We are working on ECC 6.0 for automotive company and have following scenario.
One OE (External/Customer) material number (MARA-BISMT) with more than one internal material number (MARA-MATNR). This has been done because same customer material is sold by delar for different brands, for exmaple BMW, Ford, Opel. Therefore we have different internal materials with respective brands with same external number in material master.
Business requirement is, all correspondence with customer or vendor should be done using external/customer material number.
Whereas all internal business process should use internal SAP material number.
For example as given below
External No. --> Internal No.
BMW-1 --> 1001 (Brand - BMW)
BMW-1 --> 1002 (Brand - Ford)
BMW-1 --> 1003 (Brand - Opel)
Now the requirement is that user will create document, for example PO or SO, with external/customer material number. While
doing that user should get a pop up screen after entering external material number, if external material is attached/corresponds to multilple internal material number. Then user will selects correct internal number from pop up screen and return to document screen but material field should displayed with external material number.
For example in above case, user will enter BMW-1. Pup up screen will have three internal numbers 1001, 1002 and 1003. User selects 1003 but after material conversion material field of the document will displayed as BMW-1.
We are using Customer enhancement - "MGA00003 Material Master (Industry and Retail): Number Display" for input/ouput conversion.
Also we have created Elementary Search Help - SEARCH_OE_NUMBER with Hot Key "Q". This search help is included into
collective search help "MAT1_A" so that user can able to see multiple internal material number by entring customer material number.
We are able to convert external material number with internal material number and put the external material while creating PO. But when we add another item in PO, search help is getting called again and again for first line item even after conversion of matrial has been taken place.
How we can avoid this multiple calling of serach help?
Is there any better way to achieve this requirement?
Please help us.
Thanks,We have resolved this issue by redesigning material master data.

Material to mat. conversion with diff. quantities
hI,
Material A having 10 pieces, I want, material to material conversion with different quantity, Ex- Mat B = 12 Pieces.
Mat A 10 Pieces conversionin to Mat B 12 Pieces
Can any body Tell me which MVtyp should USe.
The Valuation of Both Materials is MAP.
The valuution of A is 100
The Valuation of B is 150.
Can i Use MVT 201 and 202 for the same.
If OK,
What about the diferecnce Prices.
Waiting for reply
Veera.if you want to receive 12 material from conversion of material A as 10 then oyu can not user direct trasfer movement type.
you have to create production order and enter component as Material A for 10 peice and receive Mateiral B as 12.
you can not do with material to materail transfer via inventory -
Material to Materials conversions
Dear Team,
Client is procuring a material in a set. That comprises of some child
components. PR/PO/GRN will be done for the main parent material. On
some occassions the Goods Issue will be done for the parent material as
a set and other occassions the parent material will be split into child
components. Then goods issue will be done for child components.
Presently material to material conversion is possible only for one to
one relation ship. How to break a main material in to child materials
with one to many relationship.
Regards,The scenario is like procuring a KIT and split it into components. There is no standard SAP solution for this.
There is a related thread. Have a look : [KIT purchase and stock updation of individual components; -
Material transfer from one storage location to another storage location
HI
ISSUE : Actually we have to post 4 no's from storage location 1500 FNWP to 1500 BSTR
.by MB1B T.Code.But System takes 1,001.96gms automatically. *( movement type 911 E ) ( they want to post in units EA )*
Solution : In material master data classification tab given material conversion so when we raise mb1b then automatically it is converted to GRAMS
Is it correct ?what is the base unit of the material?
EA
are UNE and EA maintained as alternative units?
sorry i dont know une meaning but in material master data in addition tab they maintain conversion from EA to Gram.
what is the unit used in the the sales order?

Updating the Price Determination Field in the Material Master (MBEW-MLAST)
I'm doing a material conversion into an existing SAP system and the program to load the materials didn't load a value in the price determination field (MBEW-MLAST). Normally this field is required but because the conversion BAPI doesn't do as much validation as MM01 it was possible to create the record without a value. The field is not open to input when I use MM02, and even though it appears to work, when I do MM17 mass change the field is also not updated. Finally I tried transaction CKMM - Change Material Price Determination for Material Ledger but it required an entry in the Old Price Determination field and it won't let me enter blank.
We've since corrected the program but my problem is that I've converted about 5000 materials without a value in the field meaning the FI guys can't release cost estimates which is causing a bunch of problems for the testing that we want to do in this system. We've taken about 3 weeks to do this conversion so going back and doing it again is a terrible option. Does anybody know a way to get a value into this field other than what I've mentioned above (MM02, MM17, CKMM)?
Suggestions please.have a look into OSS Note 1491364 - BAdI CKML_SET_VPRSV: Price determination cannot be changed

Dear All,
I have got an error message in enterprise structure when checking the consistancy check for sales and distribution under master data conversion - The error is
Dist. channel is missing for condition conversion 1500 15
Dist. channel missing for customer/material conversion 1500 15
can any one tell me how to solve this problem
Regards
ShakthiHi
check your assignment of common distribution channel and also if need be common divisions
IMG-SD-Masterdata-Common distribution channel-Common divisions
You should have this assignment must
When you do this, whenever you enter your distribution channel in a salesorder the system searches the records for conditions and customer/material details in the common distribution channel which you have assigned against your dist channel

Hi I am having some issues in unit conversion.Let me brefly explain the scenarioa below
Coversion Type Settings:
Source currency: Data record from target
Target Currency: From variable ( Input variable in BeX report)
Conversion factor: Dyanamic Determination of conversion factor
Using Reference Infobject if available otherwise use T006
Reference Infobject: 0Material
Now for 1 material "Conversion to ton" attribute is zero as below. But at report level conversion to TO is happening correctly.
However for other material Conversion to TO is zero and at report conversion aint happening. (Target currency appears as ERR).
Why is conversion not happening for 20053110, because in both the cases above 0Material infobject is referred to read conversion factor.
ThanksHi Nayab,
In both cases, the value in the "Conversion to TON" attribute is irrelevant.
The option you have selected in RSUOM will basically do the following
1. Check the unit conversion DSO for 0MATERIAL. You can see the DSO name if you open 0MATERIAL in RSD1, check the BEx tab. Normally it is UOM0MATE, but it may be configured as something else in your system. This DSO defines the conversion rates at a material level. For instance, it could say the conversion rate for Material ABC for Pieces -> KGs is X... i.e. 1 piece = X KGs.
2. If the above fails (i.e. no conversion exists for the material in the above DSO), then it tries to convert the quantities based on the T006 table. This second step only works for conversions within a physical dimension. For instance, the second step will work for conversions from Ton->KG, KG->lbs, metres->feet, litres -> gallons etc, but it will not work for say gallons -> tons or pieces -> kgs.

Quantity conversion takes too long
Dear Gurus,
I'm having a problem with the query execution time when I convert the quantities of the materials in KGs.
I have done all the steps to set up material conversion with reference infoobject 0material and using a dynamic determination of conversion factor using central units of measurement (T006) otherwise reference infoobject.
With these settings the query takes too long to execute because of the large number of material codes. If I remove this conversion the query is executed very fast.
Any ideas? Do I have to create an index in UOM0MATE ODS? What am I missing here?
Regards,
PanosHi Panos,
I had the same issue, but it's solved for me now. I tried the same way you did, by creating a secondary index on the active table of the DSO. The only difference is, that I included all the SID fields to the index.
Did you mark your index as unique? Also make sure, that the index really is created on the DB.
If the performance still is not getting better, check in RSRT the statistics if the unit conversion really is the problem.
Kindly regards,

Your opinion: ILT-to-eLrn conversion producitivity rate
Thanks ahead for your thoughts, opinions, facts, etc.
I'm trying to determine appropriate productivity rates for converting instructor-led training (IT subject matter) to elearning using Captivate. Most of the instructional design is in place; however, content will need to be re-chunked, and sims will need to be developed. I'd rate the content as average to complex.
As a starting point, I'm using the eLearning Guild's survey results (from 2002). They state that the average range of hours required to develop one finished hour of elearning are:
Asynchronous
Synchronous
Simple
117
86
Average
191
147
Complex
276
222
The above metrics represent from-scratch development, and are all-inclusive, i.e., they include SME efforts, production, QA, etc. I'm assuming that ILT to elearning conversion would/should merit better productivity, and using a rapid dev tool like Captivate would speed things along even further.
Would anyone care to provide a ratio based on educated guess? or stab-in-the-dark? either is fine
Thanks,

Hi Wong,
Your question is bit confusing. Are you asking abt UoM conversion or Price conversion or Exchange Rate conversion? Pls be specific & clear to help us understand your query.
