Multiple unit of purchase on PO

Dear,
I need to use multiple units of certain material while creating PO,
E.g one material can be purchased in kgs and can be purchased in grams,
i have defined both the units in additional data in material master but still on PO system is ot alowing me to change UOM , other than base unit
How can i get ma solution done,
Cheers

Dear William,
I hope your requirement is like this....
1. You have maintained a Base unit of measure e.g. EA
2. You have maintained additional unit of measures as mm2, Kg etc.
Now you want to order your material in KG in stead of EA, right??
If this is the requirement, then try following things...
1. Check if any inbforecord is appearing in the PO in "inforecord" column.
2. If it ios there, remove it.
3. Now go to Order Price Unit and go to options, you will get to see all the units you have maintained for the particular material. Choose your unit and Save.
Note:
Order Unit is the unit in which you order the goods. (internal measure for the Company)
Order Price Unit is a unit in which the vendor bills the company. (Vendors unit of measure for billing)
e.g. you might keep a material in KGs in the plant but the vendor sells it as Rs 50/ Lt. So the Order Price Unit should be Liters in this case and Base unit of measure (or order Unit) will be KG .

Need Multiple Units of Measure for a given material due to multiple vendors

Hello,
We have a requirement where we must have multiple units of measue (each, box, case, pallet) for a given material.
Background:
We have multiple vendors for one SAP material number. We need to store 4 levels of units of measure for each vendor+material combination.
Unit of Meaure levels
1. Each
2. Innerpack (ex: 12 each = 1 innerpack)
3. Box (ex: 36 eaches = 1 box)
4. Pallet (ex: 100 eaches = 1 pallet)
Standard SAP allows in MM01 additional data --> Units of Measure only 1 Ea, Box, Plt, etc.
Our requirement is to allow multiple Units of Measure due to multiple vendors providing the same material.
So, our unique combination is by a Material+Vendor.
We are considering adding the vendor name and vendor number to the material master --> additional data --> Units of Measure tab.
Does this seem like a good solution? What impacts do you foresee with approach?
Any alternatve solutions?
We thought we could enhance the purchasing info records to allow multiple units of measure too but then we need to also add many fields to hold the weight, lenght, height, width, volume, country of origin, etc.
Please recommend a best practice or solution to handle this requirement.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
Maintain the alternative units in Material Master in Additional Data -> Units of Measure section with proper conversion factors.
Create individual info-records i.e. per mtl-vendor combination & in the info-record maintain the order unit, along with other details as required.
Now when you create a PO, the details will be read from the info-record. To test the same, create them in your sandbox & see if it meets your requirement.
Hope the above clarifies your query.

Vivek

Multiple Unit of Measure in SAP BO

We have a requirement to use multiple unit of measures from one of our client whose business concern is manufacturing and tenneries.
We want to measure inventory in units and in meters at same time. For example, if one new unit measuring 50 metres is received in warehouse then it should be measured in units as well as in metres. If the last quantity in warehouse was 50 pcs with 600 metres then after the one unit addition it should update the inventory to 51 pcs with 650 metres.
Is there a solution or way we can use SAP BO with multiple UOM.

Hi,
In B1 8.8, you can use multiple unit of measure but it will be displayed in the sales marketing document and purchase document.
The stock UOM can't be managed by multiple UOM.
When you see field UOM in the item master data --> inventory tab, you can only enter one UOM there.
In the document level, you can maintain multiple UOM for the item or inventory. If you have defined the conversion of the UOM, it will be automatically calculated.

Multiple Units of Measurements for a single item

Hi all,
How do I maintain multiple units of measurements for a single Item/ I have a scenario where purchase orders are being made for sand in Metric Tons, Tons, Kgs and Cubit Feets. Each measurement is being used at each construction site of the company but the item is single sand. One more problem is here with the material reconciliation of stock since it is maintained in different units of measurement and conversion from unit to other is problematic.
Thanks

Hi YSvee Reddy ,
Julie is correct in saying that this feature will be available in version 8.8, currently in Ramp-up.
Please see the [8.8 landing page |https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000705857&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000183&_ADDINC=011000358700001192682007E&]for a link to the 'What's new' document.
You can contact your LPE to discuss participation in Ramp-up.
All the best,
Kerstin

Multiple units of measure (UoM) inventory 8.8

Anybody have any documentation on the multiple units of measure feature in 8.8. I have done the delta training but I can't see it in the current version I have installed (PL09).
Do I have to update to PL10 to get this feature? Does it not exist anymore? Or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Thank you for trying to help but unfortunately you are all not exactly correct on this...
I spoke to SAP and the functionality described in the 8.8 Delta video using strawberries as an example is misleading.
The new feature allows you to change Items Per Purchase Unit / Items Per Sales Unit on the document dynamically even if there are transactions to the item.
2007 and below locked the items per purchase / items per sales unit after a single transaction.
So the setup for this is NOT in the item master data it is a field called Items Per Unit in the marketing documents. The items per unit becomes the default but you can modify it for each document dynamically.
I made a simple dropdown list UDF and an FMS that allowed me to select different lengths and whatnot. And the FMS would input the correct conversion rate into the Items Per Unit field.
So for a purchasing (in this case a purchase order) example we store this particular unit in metric tonnes but we occasionally buy it in 25kg bags / 2200kg totes, etc. For the 25kg bags each bag would be 0.025 metric tonnes (mt). So when the dropdown says 25kg bag, the FMS inputs 0.025 in the items per unit field. Then when we say 100 bags, it would put them into inventory at 100 (qty) * 0.025 (items per unit) = 2.5 mt. In this case we inventory the item in metric tonnes and sell it in metric tonnes so it's a simple example only on the purchase side.
The only caveat to this is that the price doesn't dynamically change with the items per unit, but you could either make an FMS for that as well, or simply type it in manually.
This is for 8.8 ONLY not 2007.
There is no real documentation or training on this currently but I have confirmed this with SAP and used it in the system.
Hope this helps,
Mike

One inspection lot for multiple materials of purchase order line items

Hi All,
My client requirement is one inspection lot for multiple materials of purchase order line items.
Please share your thoughts.
Thanks in advance for early reply.
Regards,
Jishu

I totally agree with Amol.
I don't think I would touch that development nor would I ever tell a client it could reliably be done through development.
Knowing what I know about the table structures, I don't think you could create any development for this that could use a significant amount of the existing tables and functionality. I think you'd have to create all your own Z tables and basically rebuild the functionality. Tying it back in with SAP data will be difficult.
You're even looking at all custom screens for your results recording and UD as well. And if you have follow-on functions like batch classification requirements, batch determination, COA publication, results copy functions, use of DMR and sampling procedures, physical samples, quality notifications, etc. etc.. you could be looking a whole lot of development.

Controlling multiple workitem in purchase Requisition

Guys,
I need some suggestions regarding the controlling of multiple workitem for Purchase requisition. Our client have a PR release wf and when a PR is saved a workitem is sent to approvers inbox. Within a timeframe say (15 sec) any changes to PR will trigger the same wf and creates one more workitem. I want to restrict the creation of workitem if it falls within the time frame. Good suggestions are greatly appreciated with points.
Thanks in Advance,
Isaac

I think you can use Function module SAP_WAPI_WORKITEMS_TO_OBJECT to retrieve the workitem that has been triggered for the same PR and the you can read the table SWWWIHEAD providing the workitem Id and then check the Creation time and compare.
Use this coding in a virtual attribute and use it to define the Start Condition using Tcode SWB_COND
Thanks

How do we link the central organizational unit and purchase organization i

hi friends
How do we link the central organizational unit and purchase organization in SUS configuration?
regards
vinaykrishna

The workflow process is associated to the transaction you select by parameters in the function call.
The Responsibility 9e.g. employee self service) is linked to a menu. The menu contains (amongst other things) functions. If the function is associated to a menu prompt, then when the user clicks on the prompt (e.g. Change Job) the function is invoked. When the function is invoked, it calls the workflow described in the function call.
The function will already (out of the box) point to a workflow process. If you have customised your own process, you will need to amend the function call to call your workflow name.
Look at the function in question and you will see what I mean.
Hope that helps explain it!

Order Unit at purchase organization level

Hello,
     I have a vendor / material info record and depending on the purchase organization that makes the purchase order the unit is different.
    I was goingto prepare it but I have had the surprise that order unit is at general level so any changes affects all purchase organizations
    How can avoid that and define the Order unit at purchase organization level???
Thank you

Example:
Vendor code 100000
Material number : 25200
We have 2 purchase organizations : 9000 and 9100
In purchase organization 9000 order unit is Pieces y purchase organization 9100 orde unit is pack (equal to 5 pieces).

Create Characteristic with multiple units of measure

Hello Friends,
I want to create characteristic (CT04) which has multiple units of measure. At present a Characteristic is created with a single unit of Measure. I have to create characeristic and assign it in MIC. MIC specifications are customer dependent. Customer may give specifications in different unit of measure. While creating sales order, I am entering the specifications for characteristics, as material is created with varient.
I am creating Single Characteristic multiple times for different Unit of Measure and assigning it to the class.
Therefore according to the Customer requirment and his specifed Unit of Measure, that Characteristic is choosen having same UoM as of Customer.
Insead of doing this, Is it possible to assign multiple units of measure to single characteristic?
Waitng for reply!
Regards,
Kiran

Hi,
With Multiple Unit Of measures, I don't think its possible.
You can Use CHAR for characteristics, to Use.
Instead for Fixed Units. Let Marketing/sales Enter the req.
But you shall make it Multiple Selection, Since you can use them in Selection Condition.
Hope this is Useful.

What UOM's are we talking about?
Are you talking about ppm vs. %? Or ppm vs. ppb?
SAP can make some of these conversion automatically. I encourage clients to standardize what their lab people report on in inspection lots. I.e. they should always record ppm or always record % in the inspection lots.
In the certificates you can use the certificate profile to change the UOM actually reported on the COA to the customer. So you can record by ppm in the lab, but in the cert for the characteristic, you indicate that it should be reported in %. The system will automatically make this conversion for you.
If you are talking somethign like screens, I recommend doing all in the lab as either thru or on and doing calculated characterisitcs to calculate the opposite for those customers that want thru instead of on, or vice versa.

Price by multiple unit of measure

I have a requirement to price in multiple units of measure for the same material number. For example material # 12345
1 Box = $500
1 Ea = $1.50
1 Box = 500 ea
Customer orders 501 each of material 12345 on one line item of the sales order. Requirement is to price at $501.50 not $501.00
I have tried to use condition supplements without success. Does anyone have suggestions without using pricing requirements or forumals of how this requirement can be met?

hello, atul and friends.
i think interval pricing alone may not be enough, but definitely it could be part of the solution. (ms. gina, please confirm if i understood the requirement correctly)
let's say the customer orders 999 units, which will translate to 1 box and 499 loose units. the pricing will be something like:
$1 per unit times 999 units = $999.00
$0.10 per unit times 499 units loose = $49.90
total should be $ $1048.90
however, if order is 1000 units, pricing will be:
$500 time 2 boxes = $1000.00
so, the "surcharge" of $0.10 applies only to the loose units. but in the order, the quantity is entered either in boxes or units. the challenge is to create condition records that recognize this packing/grouping option. interval pricing must be supported by a feature that can recognize capacity.
regards!

Order unit in Purchase Info Record

Hi,
I would like to restrict users from giving in Order Units in Purchase info records which are not declared in the Material Master.
E.g: Materal Master had units EA and CAR declared and with the conversion factor.
No users should be able to enter a unit apart from EA or CAR into the Info Record Order Unit.
Points assured.
Regards
Govind.

Hi Govind,
Goto SPRO>MM>Purchasing>Purchasing Info Record>
Define screen Layout>Select ME11> Select Quantities>
Select Order unit (Purchasing)> Make the entry from reqd entry to Display.
Save the changes. Now user cannot able to enter a new unit apart from the one in Material Master.
Hope this would be helpful

Baskar
