PO UoM conversion problem

Hi,
I have the following scenario:
- sales unit for material is PAC
- order unit is PAL=42PAC
- in material master, purchasing tab, the variable order unit is set to active, which should allow also the using of sales unit as order unit.
Sales order and PR were created with quantity 50PAC but when converting the PR to PO with ME59, PO was created with quantity 1PAL. When trying to change the quantity to 50PAC it seems possible until pressing Save, which is when I get an info message "Language not allowed" and on enter, an error msg "System error (error in method PO_POST)". No subsequent docs exist for the PO.
Where does this error come from and how can it be fixed?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help.

what language do you have in the vendor master?
is your material text and all the customizing (inlcuding units) translated in that language too?
The language in vendor master is meant to be the language in which you want talk to your vendor, e.g. a language that you should be able to talk. It is not meant that you enter the language there that is spoken in the country of your vendor.
did you change the order unit in the info record? if you had already procured this material at this vendor, then an info record exists, hence a change in material master will not effect existing data, the info record need to be changed manually too.
Same if you have already a contract that is referenced in your PO.

UOM conversion problem when issuing material against BOM

Hi All
I have a material which is part of a production BOM.
The base UOM is EA.
The issuing UOM is KG.
I have a UOM conversion of 20 KG = 1 EA.
In the BOM I need to issue 0.034 KG.
When backflushing happens, it issues 1 EA.
Why is it not issuing in KG?
This is a problem because in effect i have now issued 20 KG instead of 0.034 KG!
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Deidre

Dear All
Thank you for your input. I have double checked and everything in the BOM header and component level is KG, and the plant/storage location data is also KG. The only place the EA appears is in the base uom.
I suppose the biggest mistake is that the material should have been created with base UOM of KG, but it's too late to change it now, which is why I hoped the UOM conversion would have taken care of that.
@Mario, i was actually trying to post 0.034 KG, which then got posted as 1 EA.
Thanks

UOM Conversion problem

Hi,
I have a scenario where in Depending upon the specific gravity the conversion factor of UOM changes
Say today,1.5 Ltrs of oil is 1Kg depending on specific gravity
Tomorrow the same 1.5 Ltrs of oil might be only 900 grms or more again depending on specific gravity.
How can we handle this problem?
we have this sceanrio coming in oil production,Production unit is in liters but packed and sold in Kgs
It will be of great help,if i can get any inputs on this
Thanks.
W.Raghuram

Hi Raghuram,
Let me know
1. If you are handling the material in Batches.
2. If you are using only two alternative units of measure.
If your answer yes, definitely you can do this through Batch Specific Unit of Measure. You can go through the IMG Logistics General --> Batch Management --> Batch Specific Unit of Measure. You just go through the help document provided and let me know if you have any problems.
After Configuration you need to create the Charecteristic, Class and assign the same in the Material Master. You will get additional tab Proportional / Product Unit in Material Master Additional Data, there you need to specify the standard conversion.
If your answer is no for the above two points, then this functionality only be done in IS-OIL Module. In standard R/3 it is not possible.
I hope I have cleared your points.

Prakash

Incorrect UoM Conversion on Transfer Requirement from Production Order

I have a Question on a Production Order that created a Transfer Requirement. Looking at the Components of the BOM within the Production Order, I have a Material where the Issue Unit of Measure is QT and the Base Unit of Measure is EA, with a Quantity of 1. In the Material Master Alternate Unit of Mesaures, the Conversion is setup so that 1 QT = 1 EA. The question of why the 1 for 1 conversion is not relevant, as this is just how the material was setup and I know it does not make any sense. When the Transfer Requirement is created it is showing that 1 Qt = .25 EA. I am unable to locate where this conversion is coming from. We do not want to lose visibility of this part number, as creating a new part number with a Base Unit of Measure of QT would fix the problem.
Is there anywhere in configuration where there could possibily be a Conversion? I have looked at Control Cycles and the Reference Operation Set and do not see anything.

Closing Thread as there has been no responses but I am still looking for a solution. The only possibility that exists at this time is the material was copied from another material and the UoM Conversion was 1 QT = 4 EA on the Copy From Material. I can not see where any changes were made to the unit measure conversion for the new material. The only other possibility is the Production Order was manually converted to the new material incorrectly.

UOM conversion not big enough

Hey All,
I have a strange requirement. The numerator field UMREZ for UOM conversion is of 5 digits, which means the max value can be 99999. We have a need to do a Alterante UOM conversion which is greater than 5 digits.
Example: 1 PAL = 200000 EA.
How do I acheive this?
We are looking into all possible options.
First is thru config to create an intermediate UOM so that we can do two UOM conversions and acheive our result, but this is also going to be a big change.
Is there any other option through code to increase the length of this field, or any other alternative.
I tried searching and looking for OSS notes, but no luck.
Any input is highly appreciated.

Thank you for your replies. For a moment I thought this might be an option, but the problem here is not that the quantity is too large. but that the conversion factor is too large.
Let me explain again.
I have one unit which has the following conversion.
1 Pallet = 3000000 Eaches.
Numerator = 3000000 "here is the problem, numerator field is only 5 digits
Denominator = 1
which means if i get say even 100 pallets as input it have to convert
100 X 3000000/1 = 300000000. "the problem is UMREZ (3000000) is too big for that field
So here i cannot use any preconversion or post conversion.
BUT if i do think in the same line i can try to use a multiplication factor for that particlar unit of measure which i can just multiply at the end. I can maybe look to incorporate this in an enhancement when the UOM conversion is done. But I still have to figure out how to display it in the material master. Let me investigate more into this option.
Any other suggestion as welcome.

UOM Conversion changes where conversion is only used for reporting

I think this is a different situation than I've seen in other posts.
We have a UOM conversion from CS to POUND (i.e. 1 case = 30 pounds), and at some point may want to change it so that 1 case = 28 pounds. In our situation, all transactions are done at the CS (primary UOM) and the weight is only used in calculations to print on shipping documents. Is there any harm in just changing the 30 to 28 when that time comes? Again, there are no transactions that reference the weight, no PO's, no SO's, no financials, etc.
We also have a similar situation where a PALLET may contain 100 cases now, but in the future be reconfigured to contain 90 cases. Same idea, nothing is transacted in Pallets, and the conversion is only used in reporting. Seems like it would be OK to change that conversion without causing problems. Any thoughts?
Thanks for your insights!

I think this is low risk - just make absolutely sure that the uom was not used for customer pricing, internal pricing, boms, on ASL, on price breaks, on quotes, on POs, on material transactions, wip moves etc.
As long as it was truly used just for reporting, you should be ok.

Where to Configure the Price for the UoM Conversion

Hi All,
I have a requirment from my client here that he wants to change the UoM of the material at the billin document level. The UoM can be changed but I realized once it is changed the price has gone all wrong. Where can I configure the price for the UoM conversion because I cannot find it anywhere in SD itself.
Appreciate all of your inputs.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Prashant,
I am trying to maintain the same material with different UoM but when I do so it says that the current condition is being processed at the current session. I guessed it meant that the conditiont record for that material type already exists?
How do I rectify this problem because when I enter the new line of material with the new UoM disappears.
Appreciate your input in this,
Thanks a lot!

UOM Conversion to be used in transformation

Hi Experts,
I am trying to make use of the BI 7.0 UOM conversion feature in one of our InfoCubes where the source quantity which is in Base UOM needs to be converted to cases.
I went through all the steps which are as follows:
1. I have 0BASE_UOM as the base unit of measure for 0MATERIAL
2. A DSO was automatically generated with the name Z_OUOM I gave in 0MATERIAL configuration
3. I created a transformation for this DSO with source as 0MAT_UNIT
4. Created a DTP and loaded the DSO
5. Created a Conversion type with settings 'Dynamic Determination of conversion factor as Using Reference InfoObject = 0MATERIAL
Source Unit of Measure: Unit of Measure from Data Records
6. Target Unit of Measure: Fixed Unit of Measure = 'CS'.
In InfoCube transformation I have the following mapping:
Rule type: Direct Assignment
Target Unit: 0UNIT
Unit: From Conversion
Conversion Type: ZCASES
Source Unit: 0BASE_UOM
Source Fields of Rule:
0MATERIAL
0REQ_QTY
0BASE_UOM
Target Fields of Rule:
ZREQ_QTY
0UNIT
When I load the InfoCube, the quantities are indeed getting converted to cases provided there are conversion factors available for that material in the UOM generated DSO
Here is my question: How can I handle records where the material does not have conversion factors in the UOM generated DSO?
I get an error when loading using a DTP as 'No quantity conversion possible'. There is one record in the source DSO that has a material number with no unit conversions in UOM generated DSO
I am aware there is an option of using routine, but I do not want to use it unless I am sure this method won't work

Hi Aditi,
There is no way you can check if UOM is present or not in UOM DSO and then do the conversion via using conversion type.
What you can do is write the routine rather than conversion type, to fetch the data from the UOM DSO.
If conversion factor exist then you can convert it simple by multiplying with the value, if not then you can easily skip the record by putting IF condition.
IF factor <> 0.
ENDIF.
Hope this helps.Let me know if you need more info.

Conversion problem in PURCHASE ORDER

Hi all,
wrong conversion was done in Quantities/Weights tab of item overview during creation of Purchase Order,instead of putting order unit " 1 tonne = 1000kg" it was wrongly fix as "5 tonne = 4536kg", the order has been receive and issue , but during stock taking this conversion problem is giving wrong Quantity for the material in MB5B . Pls what can i do to resolve this.

Hi
If stock exists then kindly do the reverse process as below
1.Cancel material docuemt---MBST (Material document no and fiscial year)
2.Delete the P.O line items --Me22n
3.Enter the fresh line items in the same P.O
If partial stock Exists then do the Physical inventory process to adjust the Stock

How to debug file content conversion problems?

Hi,
I'm trying to debug a file content conversion problem. I'm mapping a few nodes in an IDOC to a file of fixed length fields. I'm using the "<Node A>.fieldFixedLengths", "<Node B>.fieldFixedLengths", "<Node C>.fieldFixedLengths", etc. parameters to specify the fixed length records.
However, a certain node (for e.g. Node B) is causing a problem and if it is present in the IDOC, the output file does not get created. Upon checking the XI monitor, I notice that the file gets mapped correctly and thus the problem lies when the file adapter does the file content conversion. How do I debug this because there is no descriptive error in the XI log? If this node is not present, the file gets generated fine.
Thanks,
Basant Gupta

Hi,
If your SXMB_MONI shows, success status, then go to RWB->Message Monitoring->Message display tool and then check Audit log for the analysis,
So it wil help you debug the situation.
If there is no error, then check RWB->Component Monitoring->Adapter Monitoring for you file communciation channel..

Mass deletion of alternative UOM conversion

Hi Colleagues,
Does anybody knows is there an easy way for mass-deletion of alternative unit of measure conversion rules in material master?
Thanks,
Artashes

I did the following way:
1. created a recording which always deletes the second line in Additional data-> uom conversions.
2. by multiply running this recording via lsmw will delete all uoms.
3. I was not able to do it at once as different materials has different numbers of alternative uom entered.
Thanks,

It is OK to post a globalization-related question in this forum in addition to the forum pertaining to the main technology. Not all experts follow all possible forums on OTN. Of course, you should cross-link the posts to let people merge the answers.
Regarding the problem itself, make sure that SQL*Plus has the right NLS_LANG setting in the environment. On Windows, in the Command Prompt:

Question about UoM conversion

I'm trying to implement the UoM conversion that is now standard in BI 7.0. I think I have all the backend work done, but I'm having trouble converting the UoM on the front end when running a query.
Here's what I did on the backend to set it up.
1- I went to 0MATERIAL (BEx Explorer tab) and entered 0BASE_UOM as the Unit field.
2 - I then generated the conversion ODS.
3 - I created transformation to the ODS using 0MAT_UNIT_ATTR. I did have to use a master data lookup for the BASE_UOM field (using the values in 0MATERIAL) since the 0MAT_UNIT_ATTR didn't have the Base Unit of Measure, just the conversion one.
4 - Loaded the ODS for 1 material (test material 1 EA = 1 EA and 1 KIT = 20 EA)
5 - Defined a Converstion type (trans RSUOM). I used Dynamic Option 3 (InfoObject, then T006 tables). I set the Source UoM = DataRecord, and Target is set to "Selection during Conversion"
Here's what I did on the query:
1. For my key figure, I went to the conversions tab. I selected my Conversion type.
2. I created a user entry variable with a default value of "EA".
When I run my report, I enter KITS on the selection screen, but the report still shows eaches. I can navigate to the Currency conversion on the report via the menus, but I can't find anywhere for Units.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rudy

First, is there any particular reason why you used:
Integer a = Integer.valueOf(1);while I used
Integer a = 1; //boxing
Just to get rid of boxing conversion as a possible issue--which it shouldn't be, but might as well keep it simple.
Integer a = Integer.valueOf(1);
Comparable<String> cs1 = a; // errorbecause we are assigning to a Comparable<String> an
Integer value, and that's illegal, since String and
Integer are not in a subtype relation (?)Something like that, yes. I'm not sure of the exact clause of the JLS that forbids it.
>
Comparable<Integer> ci = a; // ok
Comparable<String> cs2 = ci; // errorbecause we are assigning to a Comparable<String> a
Comparable<Integer>, and again, String and Integer
are not in a subtype relation (?)Yep.
Comparable<String> cs3 = c1; // warning
Comparable<String> cs4 = c2; // warningit's what I believe is called 'heap pollution' I forget what that term means, and am too lazy to look it up, so I'll take your word for it.
and I
believe that on first use a ClassCastException will
be thrown Sounds right. Run it and see for yourself.
(although the compiler behaves correctly by
flagging an unchecked warning, for compatibility with
legacy systems, etc)Right.

How can i determine if a UOM conversion is being used in a query?

I need to find all the queries that are using a QTY UOM conversion. i tried to do a where used and it didn't return anything.

Hi,
Check function module RSZ_I_BASIC_CHA_WHERE_USED

How to use own UOM conversion for PO creation...

Hello Experts,
We have a requirement wherein we need to use our OWN UOM conversion(UMREN and UMREZ)
instead of getting it in the inforecord or the material master. Currently we are using BAPI
BAPI_PO_CREATE1 to create PO.
Is there anything that I can do to make the PO creation bypass the inforecord and
the material master UOM conversion. For example in ECC we have 1 CV = 10 EA. We want it to be 1 CV = 15 EA.

Hi Guys,
Any help? Any exits/BADIs/enhancement spots that I can use?
