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.

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).

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.

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,

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 :
As per the SAP standard functionality , We want to change the base unit of measure (base unit). for material master, during the change, the system performs extensive checks in order to avoid inconsistencies in the applications which use the material master .

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

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

Hi
Changing data directly in the table is not advisable, as this will disturb the data in the other tables as well.. using the debug functionality in SE16N you can chnage the UOM .
There are so many dependencies that you certainly step into the one or other problem

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
