No alternative unit of measure specified, during creation  of sales order

Dear Experts,
when user is creating sales order, User is getting the error message no.  MM108  "No alternative unit of measure specified" for particular material.
we have checked the alternative unit of measure it is already maintiained in the material master.
we have checked the OSS note : 117611 - Error message MM108 during goods receipt for order, but we couldn't get exact results for our issue.
can you provide  the exact reason and solution to over come this please  .
Thanks in advance.

  • No alternative unit of measure specified

    Hi,
    We are encountering no alternative unit of measure specified upon confirming the process order in COR6. What might be the problem. The base unit of measure is properly maintained in MM. Base unit of measure is Btl and the unit of issue is case.
    Hope you could help us.
    Thanks

    Hi
    In the confirmation screen, in the yeild  unit field is there. open the field there and check whether you units are displayed there or not. If they are not defined there then open the table and update your units there

  • Variant Matching  during Creation of Sales Order with reference to Contract

    Hi All,
    I have a following scenario. Sales Contract is created on a Configurable Material ' A' and its has a Material Variant "B" with following Charac Values X = X1, Y= Y1 & Z=Z1.
    The value of Z= Z1 is set using a Procedure when Sales Document Type = OR ( This is the Document type For sales Order). So, this means variant matching will finally happen at Sales Order creation level, coz all the three reqd. charc. are availabe  at that time.This is also our reqmt.
    But, now what is happening, a Sales Contract is created for Material A, with Charc values X = X1 & Y= Y1. When a sales order is created with reference to this Contract, immediately during Copying of selected item, Variant Matching gets triggered & Material A is replaced by Material Variant B. Even we dont get into the Configuration Window.
    Actually, during copying itself Object Depencies are called and thats leading to variant Matching.
    Our requirement is that, it should not get triggered at such early stage. It should happen when Config. window is clicked.
    Kindly help. Copy Control of Sales Doc has setting 'No Control' We are in ECC 6.0. Are there some other settigs too.
    regards,

  • Error during creation of sales order

    while creating a sales order Pricing error, mandatory condition papu is missing...
    when i am entering then it shows condition records for condition type papu can only be entered via agreement...pls solve the problem....

    Dear Prasanta
    Go to VK13, give PAPU and execute so that the system will ask you select a combination.  Most probably, you would be maintaining for the combination of "Customer / material with release status".  Select that and see whether for that particular customer, pricing is maintained.  Since you have not maintained the pricing for that customer and material, you are facing the problem.  Maintain price and then retry.

  • Creation of Inspection lot in Alternative Unit of measure

    Dear Guru,
    Our implementation is going on in a Tube manufacturing company where Base Unit is maintain  in KG & 100 % visual inspection is taken place & we accept or reject tube on Pieces. So how can we do this in SAP, Because in SAP Inspection Lot is created on Base Unit & UD (Stock Movement) also in base unit, How can we in corporate Alternative Unit of measure.

    Hi,
          1. give unit of conversion in MM basic data (Unit of measurement) say 1 kg = 10 pieces
           2. add unit of issue as a Pieces in MM QM view
            3. add in inspection paln Unit of measure as Pieces ( if possible )
    Now during stock posting  post the stock KG  and now see in stock MMBE by changing the UOm as a pieces you will get the stock in pieces and you can now issue the material in pieces too.

  • How to make system consider Alternative unit of measure while creating BOM?

    Dear Experts,
    When creating a BOM, how do I make the system consider the alternative unit of measure if at the point of creating the BOM, I decide to use  the  component material  alternative unit of measure? The scenario is as follows:
    Header
    Material code is TK677, Base Unit of Measure is Litres.
    Components:
    Material code is RT677, Base Unit of measure is Litres.
    Material code is RV677, Base Unit of measure is Kilogram.
    When formulation is done in the laboratory, the components are weighed and measured in percentage weight. For example, 20% for first component (RT677)  and 80% (RV677) for the second component.
    To depict this, I maintain an alternative unit of measure of Kg  in the Material Master of RT677, and maintain the conversion factor (100kg = 116Litres) so as to enable me use Kg as unit of measure for material RT677 when creating the BOM.
    When creating the BOM, I enter Kg as unit of measure for material RT677, but gets the system error message ''Unit of measure KG not supported for material RT677 in plant NG00
    Message no. 29175''
    What do i need to do as I have already maintained Kg as alternative unit of measure? or which other better way should i handle this issue?

    Thanks a lot for your reply, it worked, it allowed me to create the BOM using Kg for component RT677. But the new challenge i am now facing is that when I try to create a process order copyiing this BOM, it gives me the same unit (Kg) for component RT677 whose base unit of measure is Litres.
    I actually want the process order to copy the BOM and use Litres  for component RT677 based on the conversion factor which I have maintained in the Additional Data window of the material master.
    The reason is that, the formulation done in the lab is measured in percentage weight, but this component weight is now scaled up to Litres when the component is pumped into the Blending Vessels as specified in their Blending Instruction.
    Please how do I ensure that when the master recipe is copied during creation of the Process Order, that the unit of measure will be the base unit of measure (Litres) despite the fact that I have used the alternative unit of measure (Kg) for this component during creation of the BOM.  
    Thanks

  • Adding Alternative Unit of measure as part of  attributte of material

    Hi gurus,
    In our source system each material has alternative unit of measure which contain info on converting the base unit of measure (CAR) to MT and PAL.
    I need to add this info as part of material attribute
    e.g.
    Material "A" 10CART = 1 PAL & 100CART = 1MT
    This information captured in MM table "MARM" with material code as the
    As part of 0MATERIAL_ATTR , i need to have additional field that capture the info as below
    CARTPAL = 0.1 (1/10)
    CARTMT = 0.01 (1/100)
    Please help to advice on how to enhance the extractor to cater the above requirement.
    Your help highly appreciated
    Thank you

    hi,
    According to me you can enhance the 0Material_attr to bring the required information from ECC.
    But before enhancing anything ask func consultant or business below ques.
    1) will these unit entry will get created in MARM for any material at the creation of material or it will get updated later on
    2) will this unit value get change for any material during its entire life
    If any of above que ans is yes then how wud u manage in transaction data if unit get changed.
    For that u need to apply feedback concept in transaction dso.

  • Alternative unit of Measure for variant material

    Dear All,
    Here is an interesting scenario,
    There is a naterial Billet with two variant characteristics length and size. and base unit of measure is TON. Now alternative unit of measure is PCS.  How can define the conversion factor on the basis of these two variant characteristics.
    In normal material (without variant char.)
    we can define conversion factor 1PCS= 2TON
    For variant material,
    For the material Billet with variant charc length and size how can i define conversion
    so that system calculates diff. PCS with diff. length and size but material is same. So how can i Do that.
    for example for same material Billet but variant char. Length is 6 M and size is 120*120 ,its wt will be 2 TON for 1 PCS.
    for the same material Billet with variant char. length 12 M and size 120*120, its wt will be 12TON for 1 PCS.
    How can i cater this for the same material.

    Hi Shoaib,
    We have faced the similar scenario for steel industry. Based on my experience, it is not possible to define variable values for Alternative UOM conversion with the variant characteristic/configuration, specially if you want SAP to maintain inventory with variable conversion rate.
    Use the Batch specific unit of measure for this situation.
    1) Create batch specific UOM i.e. Ton_per_pc (TOP) --- User proportional unit conversion
    2) Create batch characteristic ton_per_pc and assigned UOm.
    3) In material master additonal data select proportion unit and enter the standard conversion rate between ton & pcs.
    4) While doing GR - In batch creation you can enter whatever the conversion rate is and Inventory will be updated accordingly.
    Regards,
    Ravi.

  • Alternative unit of measure in BOM explosion report

    Dear gurus
    I want to get the alternative unit of measure along with the base unit of measure during the BOM explosion report in CS11.I tried with the layout but I cant find the same.
    How is this possible?
    regards

    Hi Kumar,
    You can develop  a Z report. In the standard CS11, the functionality of displaying the alternate UOM is not feasible.

  • Mass upload of Alternative unit of measure using MASS

    Hi All,
    Can some one guide me how to upload alternative unit of measure using MASS Transaction -  can you elaborate like fields to be considered also, as I am trying using MM17 but could not go further.
    Thanks,
    Vengal Rao.

    it is possible to create alternative units using MM17. But I would not use the word upload in that matter, as you cannot upload from an external file.
    start MM17-
    select table MARM and execute
    you see 2 tabs,
    you are at the Change record tab, please set indicator for do not change existing data, then go to the creation tab
    enter the material number and the alternative unit you want add .
    then execute
    Now you see your material number, the new unit and the material description
    click the icon for field selection and add the field nominator and denominator (and all other fields where you usually enter data) to your shown fields.
    enter the value of your choice and save.
    if you want add the same value for nominator and denominator  to all the materials listed, then enter the value  in the fields that are listed above the listed materials. then click the header title above all fields that shall be distributed followed by the mass change button. Finally press save button.

  • LSMW - Alternative Unit of Measurement

    Hi,
    I'm dealing with something very very strange. 
    I'm trying to load the Alternative Unit of Measure for materials via a LSMW.
    I'm using the Standard Batch / Direct input Method
    Object               0020   Material master
    Method               0000
    Program Name         RMDATIND
    Program Type         D   Direct Input
    We need to have the conversion L & GAL and KG & LB.
    GAL & LB are loaded as first.  (This goes in very smoothly). These values are calculated with density.
    Afterwards I load L & KG. So I'm using the function DIMENSIONCHECK_CONVERTABLE to calculate the converted versions.
    So 90% loads like this, without any problem.  But 10% of it goes wrong... When I check try to load this manually with exactly the same number I calculated, I can save the material without any issue.  When I'm using the Job I get following issue: The alternative units of measure are inconsistent.
    How is this possible? And how can I solve this issue without doing it manually?
    Thanks!

    Hi Prasad
    In the Material Master - Sales org.1 view you have a field called Sales Unit.
    there you give the desired UOM and press Enter then you will get a pop up for Conv.factors:Unit of measure, here you have to give the Conversion of the Material UOM to Sales UOM.
    Ex. Material Measure is PC and Sales Measure is BOX
    You need to specify How many peacies will BOX consist of
    like 10 PC = 1 BOX like that you have to give in the Popup
