Material unit of measure

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Experts,
I have a problem.When I am attaching material to an activity , it is taking base unit of measure which has been defined in material master as default.In case of stock item as item category it allows me to change the unit.But in case of Non Stock item it's not allowing me to change the unit.
For example I have a material A1 whose base unit of measure is defined in meter.But purchasing unit is TON.when i am adding it to activity as non stock item, it's unit appears as meter and its not allowing me to change it .It gives the error as _Item category N: Only base unit of measure METER allowed_.
For same material if i buy as stock item it allows me to change.
I have to buy it as non stock item, so plz tell me how can I change its unit of measure in component overview screen.
Regards
Brijesh

Hi Brijesh,
if you mentioning material as nonstock item that means PR against Network ....
and consumtion is agianst base unit only..... so at the time of PR system will not allow you to use alternate unit....( since it is against Network.)

Batch-Specific Material Units of Measure

Hi all,
Can anybody guide me on Batch-Specific Material Units of Measure----Product/proportion units???
What are the settings required & how it works??
Regards,
Manish

Hi Manish,
The batch specific UoM is used in the process industry where you need to know a characteristic of a batch which is used in evaluating the batch, like concentration or potency. For example, in a sugar syrup, the concentration of sugar may vary and hence it is required to knoe how much sugar is there in the syrup. So you make sugar concentrate as a characteristic in the batch class and use it in the proportionate UoM. So whenever you fill the value of the sugar concentrate in the batch master, how much sugar is there in the syrup is known.
1.     Activate the use of batch-specific units of measure
                 Activate active ingredient management in Customizing using Transaction OMWS. Activate the use of batch-specific units of measure. This allows you to maintain proportion and product units in the material and use them in logistical processes.
2.     Set up the base and proportion/product unit
        In Customizing, the proportion/product unit needs to be created as a unit of measurement. Enter your active ingredient unit of measure under the menu path General Settings  Units of measurement
3. Create Batch Class and Characteristics
4. Assign the class to the material master.
Also set up proportion UoM in additional data of material master. Use the required batch char]acteristics.
So whenever you a Goods receipt you may enter the batch characteristics manually. Or if you are using QM, you may have to activate the link between batch characteristics and inspection characteristics.
Check the stock in proportionale UoM in MMBE

Activating batch-specific material unit of measure

Hi all,
my client has a SAP ECC 5.0 system with over 30 plants, which are currently using batch management. For a new plant we have the need to work with the batch-specific material unit of measure to have KG as base UOM and to calculate the quantity of bags regarding the batch specific conversion factor.
Does anybody now which impact will follow on the current batch management and stock in the other plants after activating the batch-specific material unit of measure in the Customizing?
Thanks in advance,
Robert

Hey all,
I found something in standard SAP... You can use a dependency on the level of the batch class and in there it is possible to write some calculation code.
Thanks for the input,
Philippe

ABAP Function for Material Unit of measure check

Hi Gurus,
i need to find a FM, a sequence of FM or anything else that return the same list (in internal tables whould be great!) like when i try to change the UM on a material but there are some open items and i got "DISPLAY ERRORS".
i need this because using BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA i got only the message "The base unit of measure cannot be changed; choose "Display errors".
BT

This was my 1st try before coming here and found the function, but it retrieves informations from memory and the memory area is not filled when i use the BAPI.
Anyway i solved otherwise.

MATERIAL UNIT OF MEASUREMENT

For one material type we are having unit of measure EA,Purchasing unit is KG.
The stock keeping unit is EA.
When the material is having recipt with excess or lower quantity the stocks at my storage location is appering in decimal.
Regards
Gopal.p

Hi,
I am not sure what you mean by excess or less.
Pls check what is the conv factor you have set for EA = Kg
since your procure in Kg and keep stock in EA. the decimal places could happen.
Pls check.

MB51 Material Document List Unit of Measure

Can/How is this list displayed with the unit of measure converted to one unit?
Example Material movements for liquid with units in gallons and pounds.
Want to list all in pounds.
Conversion is entered in material unit of measure tables.

you can see this in MMBE but not MB51 because this is the material document list and which will shows the Gr unit ( you can display the base unit but not conversion)
convesion can only be displayed in MMBE

Standard report for unit of measures

Is there any standard report to see the Fert material unit of measures and its alternate unit of measures.

HI
there is no standard reprot for you requirment.
only UOM of material you canget from MM60.
but if you want alternate also got with table data MARM
1.use SE16-- enter the table name MARM
2.enter the material(field MATNR), and execute you get the report

Unit of measurement in project system

Hi Experts,
Its relevant to PS module. Base unit of material is KG whereas sales unit is M2 and conversion is maintained between both. Now I am using sale unit (M2) while entering material componenets in project. Then I am raising PR, PO, GR in project and withdraw the material in sale unit M2. But system updates the report in KG (under purchasing data tab in project). When I get material report, system shows reqmt qty in M2 but received qty in KG. Its confusing and doesn' serve the reporting purpose. Can we do something so that received and withdrawn qty will appear in M2 (sale unit) rather than KG (base unit)?
Regards
Dinesh Chauhan

Hi,
You inventory is maintain always in base unit of measure.
You can maintain different unit in material master like,
Order unit(Purchasing view) : - For Purchase Order
Unit of issue(Plant data1) : - For issue material.
You can see material stock in both unit of measure in MMBE.
After enter material code you can see material stock, by changing material unit of measure you can also saw material stock in specific unit of measure.
Maintain Order unit of measure in purchasing view and also active variable active unit( Enter 1 = active) in purchasing view

Error while defining alt unit of measurement in material master

All SAP gurus,
i am trying to define a alt unit of measurement in a finished material, the base unit of measurement is in MT, and the sales unit is nos. the conversion formula is 53 nos = 1kg i.e. 1MT = 53000 nos. as conversion can be done only with base unit of measurement i am giving 53000 nos = 1 MT, but system unable to calculate the conversion as it is not taking mere than 3 digit after decimal.
e.g. if 53000 nos = 1 MT
then 1 nos should be = 0.000018 MT
but system not taking this value as this value contain 6 digit after decimal
suggest me what can be the way out? with detailed steps. can i increase the post decimal value or i have to define another middle alt unit of measurement (like KG). and if that is to be done then how.
Regards
BKR

Hi,
With help of Basis team check the decimal places for u r user ID.

Production Order for a Material with two units of measure?

Hi Everybody I have the following issue.
In my company there is a new production process with a Material that should be configured in the master data with the field "Base Unit of Measure" as per unit (each). But the production process, should be confirmed by tx CO11N, in Kilograms. I know that I can use the additional Data in tx MM03 to set a Production Unit, but the value of convertion would be fixed. For example 122 Kg = 1 each, the thing is that the value in kilograms for each lot can vary, one lot can weight 122 and another one can weghr 125, and in each case I shoul have two units in stock. And as I have the value of convertion fixed, when I confirm each lot one for 122 kg and another for 125 kg I will have 2.025 units in MB52.
How can I solve this problems? I need to have the chance the confirm in kg changing for each lote the quantity but in the base Unit of Measure have one unit for lot. As if for tx CO11N I could have a field where I can set tha x quantity of Kilograms is x each.
Kind regards
Leandro.

Hi Ayoub, First thank`s for your promt answer,
1. The Quantity is different, because is not a perfect process, there is a manual work in the process that makes this quantity differ, there is no big difference, maybe a Kilo or Two but the production mannager wants to have this registered. And besides in productions they manage kilograms, but for selling the comercials manage units (each - EA)
2.The convertion rate is known at the end of the process after cutting and packaging a unit, they weight it.
Regards
Leandro

Follow up material with different base unit of measure

Hi all,
I have the BOM with material Mat1 as a component. The base unit of measure of Mat1 is KG.
Is it possible to replace Mat1 with Mat 2 material in MRP once the Mat1 warehouse stock is depleted.
The base unit of measure of Mat 2 is KGK.
The required quantity of MAT1 should be recalculated from KG to KGK accordanly unit ratio.
Please, expain, where does it maintain?
Thanks,
Peter

Hello Peter,
You can use follow-up setting (set Mat2 as follow-up of Mat1 in MRP 4 view of material master if this follow-up scenario is valid for all BOM) with discontinuation indicator '1', w/o effective-out date. In this case Mat1's stock will run out (no PldOrd, PR, etc) will be created, and from the date, when Mat1's stock runs out, MRP will calculate with Mat2.
As I told you, according to my best knowledge, you cannot realize this with different base unit of measures. (you have to change the buom of one of the related material masters or create a new material master if you cannot cope with buom-change).
Follow-up group scenario can also be used but I guess different buoms will be a problem in that case as well.
Maybe there are better solution but I'm not aware of it...

Report on material code, description and all unit of measure conversions

report on material code, description and all unit of measure conversions ?
any ideas?

Material Number MATNR
with this key and SPRAS (the desired Language key)
from MAKT you can get the descriptions..
and with MATNR from MARM you can get alternative UOM and the conversion rates.
If you need help on MARM how to get the conversions please notify.
Hope it helped

TEXT material in Sales Order - Unit of Measurement is blank

We need to trigger a PR from a text item in sales order.
Only problem we are facing is an error message saying "Enter Order Unit". But there is no value in F4 help for order unit. There is no permissible value for unit of measure in F4 help, as it is derived from material master.

here is the exact requirement. We want to trigger a PR for procurement of services from a sales order. To trigger a PR for services and use service entry sheet for service confirmation we need to use item category D-Services in the PR and PO. Item category D does not allow a material to be entered as there will be no invetory tracking for this services. This is standard SAP property for item category D in the PR.
So to trigger a PR only with a text line from a sales order you need to have a sales order line item only with the text and trigger a schedule line category with the order type NB, Item category as D and account assignment category as R.
