Proportion/Prod Unit characteristic in MM03

Hi
I need to display Proportion/Prod Unit characteristic plan value and unit of measurement which will be in Addtional data in MM03 transaction .
Is there any BAPI or FM that will get me the characteristic value ?
Thnx

Hi Hemanth,
Check if the BAPI BAPI_MATERIAL_GETCHARMERCHHIER is useful.

Copy Material Master data - cannot copy "Proportion/Prod.Unit" view

Hello,
When I try to create material master data using the "Copy from..." option, data from the "Proportion/Prod.Unit" view is not copied to the new material. We are using SAP for Mill products.
Any clues?
Regards,
Joao

Hello Joao,
There are two things, which have to be done :
The first thing of course is, that for the field MARA-KZWSM the field
"Propose Field Content from the Reference" must be set in transaction
OMSR.
The second is, that the user have to enter this screen, because if he
don't display this screen, then it is technically not possible to
copy the reference values.
(To copy this data from the reference material you have to go to the
subscreen SAPLMWSM 8030 and press enter).

Proportion/prod. unit

Hi All,
I have activated batch Specific unit of measure in material master but the proportion/prod. unit tab is not appearing in the additional data of material master. I have assigned a class to organisation element "s". Please let me know if I have to do other configuration settings.
Regards
Ayyallas

I got the solution; The batch management is only checked in purchase data. I have checked in plant data also so now the tab is appearing.

Issue: Proportion/produciton unit of measure NO is invalid for item 900001.

Hi All,
Issue: Proportion/produciton unit of measure NO is invalid for item 900001.
Here we have MTO Scenario: In outbound delivery when we do batch split & batch determination we are getting the above error.
Consider the following settings: at MM01 - Prodution/Proportion unit data is maintained with a characterstic specific to batch. Means Batch specific unit of measurement. In Work scheduling view produciton unit, unit of issue are maintained as 'NO'. All these settings are same for all material codes.
Please suggest us why we are getting the issue for perticular material coce.
Info: We resolve the issue by adding one more line item in the sales order & do the transfer posting the stock from line item to line item. But this is not the permanent solution.
Regards
Chowdary

I believe the error message no is VL 382 (Proportion/product unit of measure & invalid for item &)
You need to double click on the error message flashing on the status bar to get the error number.
I believe long text for the error message is self explainatary. Refer it and make necessary changes to resolve the issue.
Diagnosis
You want to use a proportion / product unit for an item.
You are not allowed to change the unit of measure into a proportion / product unit if:
- The following exist for a sales document item:
Preceding documents
Subsequent documents
- You are processing a scheduling agreement for the component supply industry
- You change the target unit of measure in a scheduling agreement item (and the sales unit is not a proportion / product unit)
- You are processing a customer requirements plan
- The following exist for a delivery item:
Preceding documents
Subsequent documents
Batch split items
- You are processing a batch split item
Procedure
Use a different unit of measure.
If you want to change the target unit of measure into a proportion / product unit in a scheduling agreement item, you need to change the sales unit accordingly. The system then sets the target unit of measure to the same as the sales unit.
Further, if you are working on older version, refer SAP Note 364206 - VLSP:indic.for proportion/product quantities deletd.

Net weight in unit of measure (MM03)

Hi,
I have to extract all the units of measure for an article and i was wondering where does this field (Net weight) come from.
I think it's calculated but how ?
Allready have some other fields from MARM and find the net weight in mara but as i have many lines of untis of measure, the mara net weight does not apply to all.
Thanks

Thank you again for your time.
I'm trying to extract all datas from that screen so the access to the screen is MM03 or MM02 (i checked and they both have same datas) if that was your concern.
I see those two fields (Number of Lower-Level Units of Measure (SMEINH-AZSUB) and Lower-Level Unit of Measure in a Packing Hierarchy (SMEINH-MESUB), at the end of both records under Number and LUn as you can see in that screen copy
http://img354.imageshack.us/img354/3219/sanstitredx2.jpg
i found a fm (BAPI_MATERIAL_GETALL) that returns the weight for every record so the weight is not a problem anymore for my report. Even if i don't understand why i can change some lines and can not others.
But i really can't find those two last column

Hi
material master purchase order long text
you can use through BDC or LSMW it is possible,
here we need to check in lsmw Direct input mentod Program name "/SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_IMPORT_TEXTS" object name (0001) method(0001) program type (D).
Header we have --- MATNR and TEXT ID
Item ---LINE(Text line).
in header- for NAME and ID map the source fields MATNR and TEXID respectively.
OBJECT and SPRAS pass the constants.
in Item--for TEXTFORMAT pass the constant '*' and for the TEXTLINE map the input field LINE of the ITEM structure.
or else u can check in SE37 'CREATE_TEXT' , in that function module check it object Id , name , spras, lineitem, language "E"
here i mention example of text flat file,

Batch-Specific Material Units of Measure

Hi all,
Can anybody guide me on Batch-Specific Material Units of Measure----Product/proportion units???
What are the settings required & how it works??
Regards,
Manish

Hi Manish,
The batch specific UoM is used in the process industry where you need to know a characteristic of a batch which is used in evaluating the batch, like concentration or potency. For example, in a sugar syrup, the concentration of sugar may vary and hence it is required to knoe how much sugar is there in the syrup. So you make sugar concentrate as a characteristic in the batch class and use it in the proportionate UoM. So whenever you fill the value of the sugar concentrate in the batch master, how much sugar is there in the syrup is known.
1.     Activate the use of batch-specific units of measure
                 Activate active ingredient management in Customizing using Transaction OMWS. Activate the use of batch-specific units of measure. This allows you to maintain proportion and product units in the material and use them in logistical processes.
2.     Set up the base and proportion/product unit
        In Customizing, the proportion/product unit needs to be created as a unit of measurement. Enter your active ingredient unit of measure under the menu path General Settings  Units of measurement
3. Create Batch Class and Characteristics
4. Assign the class to the material master.
Also set up proportion UoM in additional data of material master. Use the required batch char]acteristics.
So whenever you a Goods receipt you may enter the batch characteristics manually. Or if you are using QM, you may have to activate the link between batch characteristics and inspection characteristics.
Check the stock in proportionale UoM in MMBE

Unit of measurement problem

Hi,
A material has its base unit as "Number" & additional unit as "KG" while creating PR it takes only NO not KG and same follows in PO. How can that be solved?

Hello
It will take NO while creating the PR even if you change in Material master purchasing view. i.e. Ordering unit as KG and also in info record. while creating the PO, the unit will be changed to KG based on conversion factor. After Gr, the system will show the stock in NO as NO is base unit of measure. (stock keeping unit).
If you want to change the base unit of measure, then please refer the following poitns :

Unit of measure in Material Master after PO's created

Changing Base Unit Of Measure (Material Master)

Hi
1. How to check this? (Any successful changes in material master only took place when there is no open document from SD, PP, MM & FI for that material. )
2. Base unit of measurement cannot be changed. The reason being material movement history is there in table - MSEG mainly which otherwise create inconsistency in reporting. -
Is this line applicable for current period or previous period in current year or previous period previous year???
3. There are no existing purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material. -
is this means open / pending purchase orders or the the PO's created in system with respect to material where the GR and IR is already done
4. You can change the base unit of measure if there is no stock of the material during current and previous period----
is this means the term " previous preiod" is previous period in the current finacial year   or its applicable for the previous preiod in previous financial year
5. Post the stock in the previous period to the current period - -
how can we do this???

Solution
If necessary, all reasons mentioned above must be eliminated by archiving the objects listed
1) SAP checks this for you. A new button will appear in MM02 and after you click this button to check the error log, you will see which documents exist.
2) I have not seen that an existing movement will restrict the change of a BUoM.
3) No purchase requisitions, purchase orders or scheduling agreements must exist for which the deletion indicator is not set
       it is not caring about GR done or IR done. it telling you that the deletion indicator has to be active. As a deletion indicator can be reset easily, you probably have to archive the documents
4) the previous period is the period before the current period.
   today we have February, hence the previous period is January.
5) first make sure your current stock is higher than the stock of the previous period. if it is lower, then you have to create inventory in current period first e.g. with 202 movement with current date.
Then you issue the previous period stock with 201 movement and previous period date (make sure periods are open in OB52 and MMRV allows posting to previous period).
Finally you issue the left stock in the current period with 201 and current date.
Now previous period and current period stock is zero. After the change of the base unit you have to get the stock back into the system

Not able to view Characteristic Hierarchy using Tcode KES3

Hi everyone,
I need to view the Characteristic Hierarchy using T-code KES3 in CO-PA. Ideally, once we are into KES3 screen, we need to select the characteristic and variant to display the hierarchy. But, when I select the characteristic and variant, it says that "Hierarchy doesn't exist".
However, when I create a report for that particular characteristic using T-code KE31, I am able to view the hierarchy for that characteristic there.
Can anyone please help me in this regard that why the characteristic hierarchy is not available in KES3, while it's picking up the hierarchy at the time of report creation.
Thanks.
Regards,
Gaurav Tibrewal

Hi Nikolas,
I want to see the hierarchy of "Business Unit" characteristic. This characteristic is being maintained under "Referenced Characteristic" in T-code KE31. This characteristics is being maintained in Profitability Analysis (T-code KEA5).
Also, I am not able to derive the source where the hierarchy is being maintained for that characteristic. Because, if hierarchy is coming while creating CO-PA reports. they must be maintained somewhere.
Please let me know if you need any further input.
Regards,
Gaurav

Mass deletion of Batch specific unit of measure

Dear Experts,
How to delete the batch specific unit of measure in the material master maintained in the additional data -unit of measure and proportional / production unit of measure in mass . We have some 1000 material for which we want to remove the datas related to batch specific unit of measure from the material master.

I have not yet seen an option to delete data with MM17, but I am open to be educated.
I would suggest you do it with LSMW or CATT.
However, test it first in MM02, before you waste your time with mass processing. You might receive errors if that material was already in use and batches exist.

Alternative unit of measure issue in PP in Food industry

Hi,
I want clarification regarding alternative units
here sales order unit is master cartons,,
production people will produce in pieces,,
we are applying 40 strategy here,,,,
so based on master cartons,,MRP will give planned orders in master cartons i think,, when we convert it into process order it should be in pieces. (can we get this by entering prod unit---PC,,,in work scheduling view)
i want to enter Yield in pieces in confirmation field,,, and i want to do GR in master cartons ...
is it possible to maintain production order qty in one unit and GR in other unit?
plz suggest me...
Edited by: sathishreddy on Dec 23, 2010 12:31 PM

production order qty in one unit and GR in other unit?
Not possible
create a BUOM as carton for the material
and Production unit as PC
when you do GR system will take in PC
But when u see in MMBE or MB52 system will show in Carton only

How to add Currency Unit in InfoCube definition?

Hello Gurus,
How do I add a newly created Currency Unit (ex: ZCURR) to the Unit Dimension of my InfoCube?
I created this Unit in NotAssignedNodes InfoArea, but when I open this InfoArea to drag & drop the Unit, I see a blank InfoArea.
Pls help.
POINTS WILL DEF BE AWARDED!!
Thanks,
SD

Hi Sebastian,
I dont think we can expect a unit to be stored in UNIT fixed dimension unless it comes along with a keyfigure.
UNIT dimension is to store the unit characteristic, which is present in the cube, becasue we have used a keyfigure which has unit along with it, like Amount or quantity data type key figures.
When we define a key figure with data type as Quantity, it will ask us to mention either Unit object or a fixed unit. Here we need to mention the unit created by you.
If we have added any unit characteristic in the char tab of cube defintion, then we have ensure to place them in a custom dimension.
Hope this is clear.
