really EA UOM is exiting in ECC as well as in SRM commpr01 for material 50005545
who is deleting MM 50005545 EA UOM unit ?
I could not recreate the same too.
but sparotically it is happening.
Thanks
Muthu
i need a help to recreate the same issue or i want to know what is the BUYER action makes this Unit deletion.
GOA status is HELD ONLY

1) Is the contract created from scratch or from preceding document, such as shopping cart or bid response.
A1 :- NO . it is fresh starting PROCESS GOA.
2) Is the material maintained with alternative unit of measures
It has only Base UOM as EA.
3) Is the unit of measure on the price condition different from the item's unit of measure.
third one i did notunderstand . buyer just entered price for that material. but in the condition we could not see the UOM.
some action buyer is doing i could not recreate this issue.
thanks jay.

Units of Measures found in the material master.

Hi,
What is significance of different Units of Measures found in the material master.
Ajay

Hi,
Order unit
Unit of measure in which a material is ordered. It is the default unit in purchasing functions.
Order price unit
Unit in which the vendor invoices you. The order price unit is defined in the purchase order or in the purchasing info record. If you have defined an order price unit in the PO, the goods receipt will be recorded in both the order unit and the order price unit.
Sales unit
Unit of measure in which a material is sold. It automatically appears as the default in a sales order and can be changed there.
Unit of issue
Unit of measure in which a material is issued from the warehouse/stores. You can use this unit of measure in conjunction with goods issues and physical inventory activities.
Any quantities that you specify in a unit of measure other than the base unit are automatically converted into the base unit by the system. To make this possible, you must enter the ratio for conversions between alternative units and the base unit (the conversion factor) in the material master record. You can enter this information when specifying the alternative unit of measure

Unit Of Measure Conversion in the SNP Planning Book

I have a problem in (a copy of ) the standard SNP Planning Book 9ASNP94.
I often need to view data in different units of measure however, but would like to avoid having to set up multiple Planning Areas. I know how to change the Unit Of Measure on my User Settings and for specific Selection IDs however, the conversions only ever work for a single Location/Product combination. As soon as I select 2 Products, the Key Figures all revert back to the Planning Area UoM.
Is there anyway round this or do I have to create new Planning Areas? If so, what are the issues in running multiple Planning Areas - does this cause performance problems?

Hi
My feeling is when you do conversion on aggregated level(multiple products), if any of the product has UOM missing then you coversion fails on aggregted level.
It looks strange that UOM conversion looks fine when you do conversion on each product.
I suggest you to check whether the UOMs (that you want to convert)are updated correctly on each product on their repective location in the product master under UOM tab.
regards
Vijaya.

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

Unit of measure with language Key

Hello Guruz,
WHile creationd of purchase order, there is a check kept which compares the vendor communication language which gets updated in the Po header - Communucation tab with Db table T006A which holds the Unit of measurements with Language Key and pops up an error message.
It cheks the order unit in the PO, and the T006A whether the unit is maintained in the Language key as in the PO header - Communiction tab.
But while creating a unit of measurement in CUNI, we dont have the option to maintain the language key for the UOM.
In CUNI, it defaults the language key as EN in table T006A.
I need a prompt support from you guys on this issue. Please suggest how to go about with this?
Best Regards
Greg.

Hello,
When i am trying to go for the language key in CUNI, it says that the said language is 'not available in server'. I guess it is checking whether the language patch is updated in the server.
But it doesn't sound logical to maintain all the unit of measurements in all the vendor languages. Suppose if we are having vendors with 75 communication languages and we are having 50 units os measurements, so does that mean that we have to maintain units of measurements 75 X 50 times ?
Kindly provide your inputs on the issue. We are facing lots of issues with this control kept in PO header checking for the T006A with the vendor communication language.
Regards
Greg

Unit of measure missing for LagDuration in ES for Project Network Activity?

Hello,
I just tried the Enterprise Service "Read Project Activity" (ProjectProcessingManageProjectIn) from ESM ERP 604 in the ES workplace. The field LagDuration in the NetworkRelationship consists of only a number, but no unit of measure. I changed the unit from Hours to Seconds via the Web Portal and watched the results of the Service: the number did not change although one hour should result in different lag time than one second. IMHO the unit of measure is missing in the service definition. Or am I getting something wrong?
Regards,
Uwe.

It is even worse: There are several duration fields in the "Manage Project In" Service Interface (e.g. Activity BaseDuration). In the responses these fields always contain a naked number (no unit of measure). In the WSDL these fields are of type "Duration" which has a pattern restriction of "PnYnMnDTnHnMnS" - not an int type! In a request if you pass e.g. "PT20M" (which is a valid Duration according to the samples) you will get a nasty parse error. Can anybody explain? Has anybody worked around this issue?

Item category N: Only base unit of measure EA allowed,Message no. CO344

Dear all
I am facing the following issue,
Item category N: Only base unit of measure EA allowed
Message no. CO344
Diagnosis
You have entered a unit of measure for a component of the item category N which does not correspond to the base unit of measure maintained in the material master record.
Procedure
Use the base unit of measure maintained in the material master record.
Please give the solution for how do handle that issue.
Thanks&Regards
K.Muthukamatchi

Hi
My requirement is: The item category N should allow me to use alternate UOM.
When i checked with Item category L, the system allows me to use alternate UOM. I need the same to work for Itm category N also.
Through forums, i found that, in standard SAP, system will not allow to use alternate UOM for Item catedory N.
Is there any config settings to be done for my requirement?
Kindly do the needful.
Thanks & Regards,

Unit of Measure BOX not defined in language DE

Hi Experts,
We have a Unit of measure BOX, it is used in a Purchase Requisition.
When converting this PR to PO the vendor entered has the language German(DE) and system throws out an error message mentioned in the subject.
I have checked in SPRO under UOM settings and found that this has been maintained for all the languages the path I have checked is SPRO --> SAP NetWeaver -->General Settings --> Check Units of Measurement --> ISO Units --> Select the UOM (BOX) and then in Menu options (Goto --> Translation).
Can anyone help me out what can be the other possible reasons.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards
Lucky.

Dear Lucky,
Normally this issue happens because a missing entry for unit in transaction CUNI.
To maintain this, enter the transaction: CUNI
   Click "Unit of Measurement" and maintain the following as below.
Unit           : XX
Commercial     : XX
Technical      : XX
Meas.unit text : Activ.unit
Please review SAP Note No.[15430|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/15430]

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.

Prevent change unit of measure on a component in an order

Hello,
Is it possible to prevent the user to change the unit of measure (UM) in the component of an order.
What I need is the unit of measure from the material master without the possibility to change it.
Thanks,
François

thyagarajan,
By default, the system displays the Unit of issue entered in the material master. If none exists, SAP display the Base Unit of Measure.
The problem we're facing is when many units exists in the material master.
Example: "EA" Each and "DZ" Dozen is defined in the Mat. Master, with obviously defined as 1 dozen equals 12 each.
If a user enters 1 "EA" in the ORDER but the Unit of issue is in DZ, the Procurement side will see that they need to buy 0,08 DZ wich is impossible because material is sold by dozens...
We need to prevent the usage of smaller unit equivalent on the order side.
What do you suggest?
François

Conversion of Unit of Measure in ALV Grid

Hi all,
I am using function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' to display some records in ALV grid. The record displays material, the quantity of the material consumed and the unit of measure (UoM) of the quantity. I am fetching the data from the table AUFM and the field I am using for UoM is ERFME.
The problem is that when the UoM is displayed in the ALV, it is displayed as KAR but when i print the report or check the print preview, the UoM is displayed as CAR. I want to display CAR also in the ALV.
I have tried using the function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT' which converts the KAR to CAR in the ALV, but when I print it or check the print preivew , it shows asterisks (*) in the UoM field.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can solve this problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Hamza

Hi Ozkar,
I tried the function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT', it worked fine when displaying the UoM in the ALV, meaning it displayed CAR instead of KAR, but when I printed the list or chicked the print preview, it displayed stars (***) in the UoM field.
Anyway, I tried something else and now it is working fine. I am writing below what I did so that if anyone else has this problem, they can also do what I did.
As I said before, the UoM field was showing KAR instead of CAR in the ALV. So after passing the data to an internal table which would be used to display the data in the ALV, I called the function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT' and converted KAR to CAR. this displayed CAR in the ALV.
Now, to also get CAR in the print out and print preview,I declared variables gt_event_exit and lt_event_exit.
DATA: gt_event_exit TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF slis_event_exit,
           lt_event_exit TYPE slis_event_exit.
The variable will 'lt_event_exit' will contain the function codes of the Print(&RNT) and Print Preview (&RNT_PREV) buttons on the ALV. In the form where I am calling the function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY', I pass the function codes to lt_event_exit and append it to the internal table gt_event_exit.
lt_event_exit-ucomm = '&RNT'.
lt_event_exit-before = 'X'.
APPEND lt_event_exit TO gt_event_exit.
lt_event_exit-ucomm = '&RNT_PREV'.
lt_event_exit-before = 'X'.
APPEND lt_event_exit TO gt_event_exit.
Next I pass this table to the parameter 'IT_EVENT_EXIT' of 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'. I also create a form USER_COMMAND and pass this form to the parameter 'I_CALLBACK_USER_COMMAND' of 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' as shown below.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
   EXPORTING
             I_CALLBACK_USER_COMMAND = 'USER_COMMAND '
             IT_EVENT_EXIT                          = gt_event_exit
What the above does is that, when a user clicks on the print or print preview button, the system instead of printing the list, it passes the control to the form USER_COMMAND. After the form is processed, it prints the list.
In the form, I placed a loop on the internal table containing the data to be shown and simply converted the CAR back to KAR. The code is given below.
FORM user_command USING r_ucomm LIKE sy-ucomm
                          rs_selfield TYPE slis_selfield .
    CASE r_ucomm .
      WHEN '&RNT' OR '&RNT_PREV'.
        LOOP AT i_final .
          CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_INPUT'
             EXPORTING
               input = i_final-erfme
               language = sy-langu
             IMPORTING
               output = i_final-erfme
             EXCEPTIONS
               unit_not_found = .
          MODIFY i_final.
        ENDLOOP.
   WHEN .
   WHEN OTHERS.
    ENDCASE.
I hope this is helpful to anyone who has the same problem as I did. Now what I cant figure out is why the system automatically converts KAR to CAR when displaying print preview or when printing the list.
Well, thanks anyway for the suggestion Ozkar.
Regards,
Hamza

Unit of measure in Sales Order

Hi All,
We have maintained base unit of measure as EA. the sales unit is not mentioned and hence system will take EA as sales unit also. We have maintained alternate unit of measure as BOX and a conversion factor for the same wrt EA.
When user enters sales order as 1 BOX we want tha system should convert the same into appropriate qty of EA. Right now the Unit is captured as 1 BOX if enterd as BOX. How to map the conversion of this BOX into EA immediately so that always the order is saved in unit EA.
Regards,
Prashant

Hi,
For this you should use the sales unit and it's conversion of each sales unit = how many no of base units and save this data at master level(MMR sales area data1).
once this mapping will done system will take default measurements of sales units and user can change this to the needed alternate units in the filed of "SU" after order quantity in sales order.

Unit of Measurment

Hello
Can any one help me to understand the meaning/significance of diffrenet Units of Measures found in the material master
regards
Narendra

Hi,
Alternative Units of Measure
In addition to the base unit of measure, used by the system in managing stocks and carrying out all its computations, other departments can use their own units of measure.
All units of measure other than the base unit are known as alternative units. The following are examples of alternative units of measure:
Order unit
Unit of measure in which a material is ordered. It is the default unit in purchasing functions.
Order price unit
Unit in which the vendor invoices you. The order price unit is defined in the purchase order or in the purchasing info record. If you have defined an order price unit in the PO, the goods receipt will be recorded in both the order unit and the order price unit.
Sales unit
Unit of measure in which a material is sold. It automatically appears as the default in a sales order and can be changed there.
Unit of issue
Unit of measure in which a material is issued from the warehouse/stores. You can use this unit of measure in conjunction with goods issues and physical inventory activities.
Any quantities that you specify in a unit of measure other than the base unit are automatically converted into the base unit by the system. To make this possible, you must enter the ratio for conversions between alternative units and the base unit (the conversion factor) in the material master record. You can enter this information when specifying the alternative unit of measure.
Variable Units of Measure
In the material master record, you can specify that the material can be procured in a unit of measure that differs from the order unit.
If the material can be ordered in more than one unit of measure, enter 1 in the Variable order unit field.
This setting is then adopted in the purchasing info record and allows you to enter an order unit that differs from the one in the purchasing info record when creating or maintaining a purchase order or source list.
If you do not allow a variable order unit in the material master record, you must use the order unit from the material master record.
If you wish to specify a different order unit for a purchase requisition, you must assign a source with a different order unit to the requisition.
Regards,
Chinna

Base unit of measure

Dear Expert
my query is whenever i add new base unit of measure what are the effect it had on the system , i mean how base unit effect in the back end ...how system process base unit of measurement .
Regards

Dear usmfarhan
Actually Base unit of Measurement is the UoM which u want to maintiain ur inventory in the system.
i.e whater u r buying it from vendor ...it might be in Ea or Box or Carton
And you want to store in KG
So you can have Additional unit of Measurement and its conversion that can be defined in AMterial master in additional unit of measurement
Let us say Base UoM is KG and ur Ordering unit is TON
So u have to define Conversion rule as 1 Ton = 1000 KG in material master.
,While changing Base unit of measurement you should make sure that stock should not be there.
Secondly neither Purchase order for Raw material not Sales order for FG should exist in the system ,Neitehr routing should exist for FG
Or else system will not allow u to change UoM

Decimal places not visble depending on unit of measure

Hi,
I have a fields in a table line that is a quantity field with 3 decimal places, I also have a unit of measure associated with that quantity.
When my unit of measure is EA the quantity displays with 3 decimal places, but when the unit of masure is M it displays with NO decimal places. The display becomes very ugly when there is a mixture of units of measure.
Anyone know why thsi is happening?
Cheers,
Ross

I'd suggest that there is a conversion routine specified on the domain of the amount field - probably "CUNIT" which takes the value of the unit, looks it up in T006 and then applies relevant formatting to the field.
This isn't really a WDA thing - it's nice that WDA does this (well perhaps not in your case but it is standard behaviour for amounts and unit fields.
Cheers,
Chris
