ME51N : how to deal with different units of measure as defined in MM01?

Hi Folk,
Could you please help me ?
Some of our materials booked in stock are purchased by our purchasing department in Europe but as well by our purchasing department in US.
The base unit of measure of those materials are defined with KG (kilogram) in the masterdata file (MM01).
Why this is not allowed to enter a purchase requisition (ME51N) with other unit of measure than KG?  My purchasing department in US is not able to work with kilogram and thus they need to enter the requisition with US units of measure (pounds).
However when we create purchase orders, we can play with other units of measure.
Does someone can explain to me how to create a PR with a unit of measure different from the default one?  Or could you share your experience to bypass this issue.  Note that we really would like to have the same material number both for Europe and US (with different plants and storage locations).
Thank you very much!
François.

  • How to deal with different Pixel Ratios?

    Hi, I have a project in which I use two different pixel ratios (0.9) and (1.2).  Now of course, they both look squished, and not only that but the exporting of the file is completely messed up, with black bars and still some squishiness.  Does anyone know any easy way to fix this?  I have hundreds of files which are of different pixel ratios.  If they need to be the same ratio going in, how is it that I can BATCH convert them to the same one?  Since it would be such a pain to do them individually.  Thank you so much for your time!

    First decide on your output format, 16x9 or 4x3. Once you have made that decision, create a sequence in that format and use scale to frame size in the preferences before importing those clips. Do not scale up to lose the black borders, unless you don't care about the quality.

  • Release demand from with different Unit of Measure

    Dear colleagues,
    I have the following issue:
    a) The material master base unit is Kilograms KG
    b) The base unit used in DP is UN
    c) In the master data exits the conversion 10 UN = 32KG
    d) If I release 7800 UN from DP to SNP, I received 7800 KG instead of 29460 Kg.
    What am I missing?
    Best Regards
    -Italo

    i assume your SNP Planning area is in KG
    I dont think the release forecast program checks the UoM of SNP planning area before release, It will transfer the PA base UoM.
    So you can either have UN in SNP PA or you can use a internediate DP planning area with KG as UoM and then transfer to SNP (you can do this in one job just like you do normal release). If you use the same MPOS as the original DP planning area and use only the relevant KF that will be more than enough

  • Organizational unit transfers ,how to deal with the person in it ?

    Hi,All,I need your help!
    if an organizational unit has been transfered to another upper organizational unit ,and there are already persons assigned to different positions of it,so how to deal with this problem?are those person's IT 0000,0001should be changed too?and how to maintain this kind of change?is a personnel action necessary?or there is some other more efficient way for it?

    Hi
    In IT0001 You have a Position which is linked to a Org unit. If you want to change the org units reporting relationship then you have to change it in OM by creating a new relationship with the upper org unit.
    All the person are assigned to position so nothing needs to be done in  PA.
    Reward points if useful.

  • How to deal with credentials for external applications using a Java Client/

    Hi Guys,
    This is the case. I am integrating an external application with an ADF Application. I have implemented some programmatic ViewObjects that are being filled up by a REST Java Client Wrapper. Everything is working fine but the issue is that the credentials the wrapper is using are hard coded inside the java class. I am thinking to ask for the credentials at the beginning of my taskflow and then store them somewhere and use them then to create my client wrapper (passing them in the constructor).
    However, I don't know if my approach is good and I would like you to share your experiences or how to deal with this.
    Regards

    You can use Credential Store Framework to store the credentials securely in the weblogic server instead of hardcoding in the java class.
    The Credential Store Framework:
    - enables you to manage credentials securely
    - provides an API for storage, retrieval, and maintenance of credentials in different back-end repositories
    Check the documentation on CSF API -
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E29505_01/core.1111/e10043/devcsf.htm
    Major Steps -
    1. Create a credential map and key in em console to store the password (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25054_01/core.1111/e10043/csfadmin.htm)
    2. Use CSF API to retrieve the stored password
    3. In jazn-data.xml give permissions to access CSF key and map

  • How to deal with multiple language SQL script?

    Hi All,
    We now want to create a SQL script that contains multiple languages(English, Chinese, Japanese), this script need to be run at there different database installed on different OS, for example, Oracle9i on Windows 2000 English Edition/Chinese Edition/Japanese Edition.
    If I save the file as ANSI format, this file will only be recognized at local OS(e.g. the Chinese and Japanese character will not be normally displayed on other OS, if I run the script, the CH/JP characters will not be stored normally in DB).
    If I save the file as Unicode format, this file can be recognized by all three OS, but Oracle SQL Plus will not recognize it, thus we can't run the script.
    Who can tell me how to deal with this issue? Is it possible to save only one script that can run on different language OS?
    Thanks,
    Spark

    Hi,
    The ISQLplus supports multiple languages, but there will be following problems for my case:
    1.ISQLplus don't support Unicode format script too, so I must save the file as ANSI format.
    2.To display the characters normally depends on the database server's platform. I create a script contain three languages with ANSI format in Chinese OS, but if I want to load this script to database server installed on English OS via ISQLplus, the Chinese characters will not be displayed normally too.
    PS:
    So, I think this is not only related with Oracle but also the Windows OS, it is hard to create one file with ANSI format that can be displayed normally in different platforms.
    Thank you all the same,
    Spark

  • Multiple Modbus Servers with Different Unit ID running in cRIO 9074. Possible ?

    Hello
    I want to create an application such that i can create two Modbus I/O slave server (TCP/IP) with different unit ID and can communicate with the slave through Clients. I created this application but only unit ID 1 is working. Is it like this that at a time two modbus slaves cannot work together ? Also I tried with one server and giving different Unit ID but then also it's not working. I found one thread, here is the link.
    http://208.74.204.114/t5/LabVIEW/how-do-i-get-multiple-tcp-ip-modbus-to-work-together/td-p/2239130 
    Are there any updates on this issue.
    Labview 2012 sp1
    cRIO 9074

    I don't fully understand your issue (but I'm trying).
    Traditionally Modbus TCP/IP slaves cannot talk to each other, also the UnitID is mostly moot for MODbus/TCP since ports and IP addresses exist (unless you are building custom applications that will handle UnitID internally, because you have can't have 2 servers running on the same port).
    If you can clarify your first sentence that would help a lot.

    You want to create 2 MODbus/TCP slave servers, that can talk to other slaves? Or do you want the Master to automatically do things based on the slaves response? Are the TCP slaves on different computers, IP, etc?

  • How system deals with co commitments

    Situation is:
    PO:
    1 line purchase order, account assignment category A (asset) with 5 AU (order unit) and with 5 WBS elements each on 1 AU.
    1 AU=37.480,00u20AC
    Invoice:
    Partial invoices comming to first PO line and first WBS element (first partial invoice, not full amount)
    1. invoice 19.900,00u20AC to first WBS element  0,63 AU
    2. invoice  5.000,00u20AC to first WBS element   0,15 AU
    3. invoice 12.580,00u20AC to first WBS element  0,52 AU
    summary 37.480,00u20AC to first WBS element   1,3 AU
    And the question is how system deals with co commintments when the accountant assign bad quantity to first line of PO and the first WBS element. Accountant exceeded quantity in invoice:
    invoice = 1,3 AU and in purchase order is 1 AU
    in this situation how co commitments are calculated ???
    thanks for help

    1. The system property java.library.path and likewise, the classpath one, are really only there (as far as I know) to show what was in the environment when the JVM started. Updating the properties doesn't actually change the environment. Just like you can probably change "os.name" from Windows to Linux, but that doesn't mean the system changes to run Linux.
    2. mapLibraryName just translates the library file name to the system dependent library name, and has nothing to do with the actual environment.

  • Mm issue:-how to deal with  gds sent for repairs and again issued for consm

    The main problem is that if something come for repairing it increase the stock for one period and decrease the R and M for that period. And when after 4 months when goods are received after repairing it disturbs the R and M expense in another period.  And this also disturbs the valuation of the material.
    Any one can suggest how to deal with the repairs done to materials without affecting the valuation price of  original material.
    my points is how everyone in india is dealing with goods sent for repairs outside their company.
    what all entries are generated from first receipt of goods in company till  good sent for consumption after received from vendor who repaired the goods.
    all a/c and mm entries

    what we have decided that we would have 2 valuation type
    1. sap-domestic :- normal stock
    2. sap-use/repair :- repaired items.
    All the goods should be received using sap-domestic valuation. from here goods are sent to shop floor. when ever repair is required goods are received in stock thru sap-use-repair at value zero and not moving price specific to sap-use/repair valuation.
    so till goods that require repair and that already repaired are kept in stock, they are kept at 2 different values one is zero and other is moving price specific to valuation type sap-use/repair.
    now goods are sent for repair at zero value but when these goods are received after repair then value of repair will affect the moving price of valution sap-use/rep.
    so this will solve our problem that goods should be received from shop floor to stock for repair at value zero.
    how can we achieve this that goods received from shop floor to stock for repair is received at zero value and not moving price specific to valuation sap-use/rep. where we will have do setting in this vaution type or wherever required.
    pls send some suggestions on it

  • How to deal with images when detecting/resizing screen?

    Hi there,
    I am trying to learn how to detect screen resolution and
    resize a flash movie to those dimensions. The one thing I'm
    wondering first is, how to deal with images in the movie.
    Do I need a variety of different movie sizes that I serve up
    depending on the resolution, or is there some way of linking to
    higher rez image that can be scaled down to fit the screen?
    Thanks!

    as far as I know this has always been a bit of an issue when
    using
    images inside a scaled movie. If you display a high res image
    inside a
    scaled down movie, flash can't "reoptimize" it so the image
    looks
    jagged. Of course the other way around is even worse..
    Serving images based on the screen res could be possible if
    you detect
    it using javascript but could be a night mare to maintain and
    test it...
    I guess the questions I would ask myselkf are:
    1. what is my audience? What resolution the majority of them
    will have?
    2. Is there anyway I can keep the image size fixed, and scale
    to fit he
    rest of the design?
    3. How much time do I have to implement the customized
    version?
    It really depends on your project..but to answer to your
    quuestion yes
    you can detect.
    http://www.pageresource.com/jscript/jscreen.htm
    and your flash will have to interpret and load images from
    different
    directories based on the var passed

  • How to edit with different formats of clips

    Hi, I am sorry to as this question, I should know the answer but just ain't sure. I am making my reel and I have a bunch of stuff that is dv dvcpro NTSC and that is what the sequence setting is set to. 29.97 compressor is DV DVCPRO-NTSC. However, I have some footage that is DVCPRO HD 720P60.
    When its in the timeline the preview sure makes it look awkward, quality loss. What is the right thing to do here. Also, all my NTSC footage is 4:3, but what does my FC sequence register it as a NTSCDV (3:2) and not NTSC 4:3. Although it looks fine, I just want to understand my timeline settings. Thanks and hope to hear from someone.
    Also, can anyone point me in the right direction to learn how to deal with editing footage with different frame rates. For ex, some 29.97 footage, 23.98/24 Thanks

  • How to deal with sales in Re_FX

    Hi  Experts
    we have Sales of Villa, apartments and commercel space, how to deal with there scenarios as there is no sales concept in RE-FX. and any how to intigarate with PS for monitaring construction etc.
    any developements if you experts would have done or any suggestions.
    thanks in andance.
    Warm Regards
    Ryan

    Hi Ryan,
    We can;t use RE-FX for sales scenarios, only workaround's are there.
    Create one contract-type for sales and add condition type in conditions as per the payment plan agreed with the customer. It will work for only pre-defined payment plan.
    If you want PS integration with milestone billing, it is not possible through RE-FX. You can use SD module for sales process.
    One of my previous implementations, we have achieved this through development between SAP SD & RE-FX. It is huge development and continuous monitoring is necessary.
    The development is similar to IS-RE (component of ECO), create sales order for sales units. Instead of sales units, we made the development sell rental units through development whenever we created sales order for a rental object, just go to RE object and change the vacancy.
    But this is not advisable to create integration with SD & RE-FX.
