Proposal.:.Multiple Purchase Unit of Measure and pricing

The objective of this message is to start a discussion around procurement unit of measure and pricing.
Currently, some of our clients are facing the following limitation:
- They stock an item in a specific unit of measure (let say metre)
- They buy in a different unit of measure (let say unit).
In this scenario, we have a conversion factor of 6 for example so when we order 1 unit, the system will stock 6 metres.
The issue is that the pricing in SAP Business One for procurement is expressed in stocking unit of measure. It means that we do not have any possibility to enter the price by unit. For example, if in my purchase price list I enter $10 for one unit, on the purchase order, SAP will calculate if I buy 1 unit: $10 x 6 = $60. This is obviously wrong.
The second issue is that I can buy the same product from 3 suppliers but in 3 different UoM (one supplier will sell it in unit, another one in metre and another one in pack of 10). The system can not accomodate this business scenario.

Vincent

quite late, but I faced the same issue with a window-maker company. They buy alumium bars (different lenghts) and keep them and worked them in meters.
What we do was use the Production module, and define a new BoM item (bar_meter), so when they buy 1 bar (6.4 meters) and they want to use it, they create a production order to create 6.4 new bar_meters. Then they used as many meters as needed to make the window.

Maintain Multiple Sale Unit of Measure

Dear all,
How can we maintain multiple sale unit of measure for a particular material in single sales area. Meaning different sales orders can have different unit of measure for the same material in the same sales area.
Regards and Thanks,

Check (MM02) Material Master - Additional Data button in menu bar - Unit of Measurement Tab
OR
Scenario: - BP buys ItemA in Kg and sells in Gr. (Refer SAP Note 883504 - Different UoM for the same Item)
1. Define ItemA with kg as the unit of measure in the Purchasing Data tab - and Gr as the sales unit of measure in Sales Data tab. Enter items per purchase unit as 1000 and the items per sales unit as 1.
2. Generate an AP invoice with a quantity of 1, the items per purchase unit is 1000 so 1000 items enter the stock.
3. Generate an AR invoice with a quantity of 1, the items per purchase unit is 1 so the stock of the item is reduced by a quantity of 1 gram.
There is no way to indicate that the stock has been reduced by 1000kg which is equal to 1 gram.
Workaround:
1. Duplicate ItemA as Purchase Item (UoM=Kg) and Sales Item (UoM=Gr) - This means that you will have 2 items, ItemA1 and ItemA2
OR
2. Generate ItemA (both Sales and Purchase Item) by configuring UoM and Price according to the smallest UoM and perform every transaction by keeping this UoM
NB: Do not forget to define UoM in Administration - System Initialization - General Settings - Display tab - Default Weight Unit

Alternate unit of measure and its impact on CO module

Hi
We are in CPG company, our client has decided to use CAR (i.e. Carton) as base unit of measure and TO (tonnage) as alternate unit of measure. CO users and client management wants to run planning, allocation and CO-PA analysis in TO (tonnage).
Some of activities like cost estimates will be run using CAR. We have come to know that we might have to use COPA0005 enhancement.
We need to know how it will impact CO module as TO is not base unit of measure for finished goods?
Thanks in advance.
Chris

Thanks Ajay for your reply. My point is that we need to know the impact on CO module because our Client will use CAR (carton) as base unit of measure and CO users have to use TO (tonnage) for planning, allocation, profitability analysis, etc.
We will define the UoM conversion relationship in material master, say 1 TON = 125 CAR.
We have come to know that cost estimate can only be run using base unit of measure (i.e. CAR) so client will have to run cost estimate using CAR.
What about other functionality like allocations, planning, CO reports, etc. What will be the impact on CO module as TO is not the base unit of measure and our client have to use TO for allocations, reporting, CO-PA, etc.

Third party purchase unit of measure issue.

Hi Friend,
I have created sales order for third party process unit of measure in sales order is in Meter qty is 3.7 mater.
But PR & PO id created in the unit of measure Piece i.e. 3.7 pieces.
GR is already done for qty 3 pieces. Now when user is trying to do GR for qty 0.7 pieces we are getting error message serial number management allows only whole number.
How can I do GR for this. Also I want to know what setting I need to do to have PO in unit of measure M i.e. Mater.
Thanks,
Kiran

Its all about your material master unit of measure.
In Material master - Basic data 1 view - Base Unit of measure will be picked in PR.
In Material master - Purchasing - order Unit will be picked in PO (If blank, then base unit of measure)
In Material master - Sales Organization 1 - Sales unit will be picked in Sales Order.
And for your error message, please search in SCN, you will get many thread regarding the error.

Purchasing Unit of Measure

When I create a purchase order, and I order 5 cases of material, the PO will automatically convert my order to however many thousands (TS) of units that would be. It always automatically converts the unit of measurement to show how many individual units of material (EA) there would be in the order instead of showing the unit of measurement that I chose specifically for the order (5 cases).
I am trying to make it so that when I order 5 cases from a vendor, the goods reciept will say "5 cases", and not automatically convert it to thousands/each, or whatever the preset value is.
How would I go about doing that?

Please refer to my reply here [Purchasing Info Record;
Hey,
Normally ou are not able to change the order unit in PIR because this will be automatically updated from the contract when next time you create a PO. You need to:
1. Define the order unit in MMR
2. Enter the order unit in Order Unit under purchasing view of MMR and set Variable Unit "Active"
3. Delete the contract and recreate a new contract using Order unit which is defined in MMR;
4. Run ME01 to create a source list
5. Create a PO and set auto update for info record
6. You already updated the order unit in PIR
Let me know if this doesn't work

Unit of measure and mb1a issue

Dear Experts,
In our plant we are using Tape BOPP for taping the Boxes. So please tell me if we want to use unit of measurement as EA then what should we mentioned the component qty for one box in EA. At present our company has maintained the component qty as 0.4 EA for 1 box.
And following the conversion factor which are maintained in mm01 through additional data screen.
1 ROL = 1 ROL
65 meter = 1 ROL
1 EA = 1 ROL
But while doing mb1a system is taking the qty as 1 EA instead of 0.4 EA. please suggest how to overall this problem.
Regards,
Phalgun patel

The problem is that reservation is always made in the basic unit of measure (EA), which have no decimals in the standard SAP.
You must choose between:
a) using the smaller unit of measure (meters) as suggested by SAP, and EA an altenative UoM
b) define a new UoM called ED or similar (transaction CUNI), which a copy of EA but allowing decimal places.

Dual Unit of Measure and valuation problem in SAP for Diamond module

1. Handling of Dual Unit of Measure. In case if you take Diamond Jewellery, which is having Gold portion as well Diamond portion, we would like to keep UOM for gold portion as Grams and Carats for Diamond portion. As informed by our implementation team (Wipro), handling dual UOM for the same article seems to be not possible in SAP due to product limitations. As this feature is very basic for jewellery industry, we would like to know how SAP can address this business need in SAP.
2. We would like to show Gold & Diamond separately in Valuation for the same article, which is again seems to be product limitation.
As the above 2 issues are fundamental elements in our business, please look into the above issues and give us some solution immediately.

Mr.Rao,
Although I do not much about your business needs and the processes that you are configuring, this is what I understand from your explanations:
1. You design and make jewellery out of Gold and Diamonds. Here I believe that the designer would be knowing how much of Gold and Diamond will go into the making of a jewellery.
2. You would like to valuate the stock based on the gold/diamond gone into each. Each piece of jewellery is unique in itself as its contents may minutely vary for the gold content.
In such a situation, I would suggest considering configuring Variant Configuration. With this, you will be able to maintain different values of diamond/gold for each piece of jewellery at the time of Sales Order/Production Order/Prod.Order confirmation etc. Your manufacturing cost will be at actuals based on the consumption posted during the Prod.Order confirmation. Each piece of jewellery will be unique with few Material Masters.
Hope this helps.

Alternate unit of Measure and tolerances

Hi,
Is it possible to map alternate UoM like 1 EA= 100-110 KG.
I.e. the if weight of my component is between 100 to 110 KGs then the equivalent in UoM EA is 1.
Prashant

Hi,
Its not possible to maintain the alternate unit of measure as a range...the conversion has to be done in exact numeric terms...no scales....

Condition extension unit-of-measure in pricing of shipment cost

请问scale中有一个 Calculation Type = C，这个是如何使用的？
Quantity that the amounts or percentage rates of the linear proportional rate refer to, which is created when the condition records are maintained.
其中的 the linear proportional rate 的计算公式是什啊？

Test once by using your own custom condition table.
Create a condition table for the fieldCatlg Vendor, Material, Oder Unit etc (as per your requirement)
Then rest of all as per your settings. Then you can maintain the condition record as per order unit.
For more about create condition table refer to the blog Pricing procedure Steps and Details in SAP MM

Graph of Multiple Numeric Result displaying measurements and upper and lower limits

Is there a way with your graph control to show all the measured values against upper and lower limits in the same graph?. I can display individual lines, but would like to show all the data on the one graph. The woefully cryptic help files you provide with the graph control in TestStand seriously needs attention (Give examples!) also axis labelling, how is that achieved?

Hey Brian,
I'm not sure I understand what you're wanting to see with the data plotted on the graph--would it be possible for you to show us an example, even if it's just a drawn mockup of what the graph would look like? I'd like to look into it a bit and confirm that there is not a way to display the data.
Also, could you provide a bit of detail about the problems you've run into with using external languages with the ATML and XML reports? I'd like to understand that issue a bit better as well to determine how we could address it.
One thing you might be interested in is that we can currently embed images in the report by inserting HTML code linking to the image. I've seen cases where a LabVIEW VI plotted some data onto a custom graph, saved a picture of the control, and linked the image into the report. Here is a KnowledgeBase article which describes how the linking process works: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/D98A271E30431C9D86256C230079843A?OpenDocument
I'll look forward to your reply about what you're hoping to see, and perhaps we can think of the best way to accomplish it with the reporting mechanism in TestStand. As Chiara mentioned, if there are features you would like to see that are not currently possible with our reports, the Idea Exchange will be a great place to post that.
Thanks!

Import Purchase order-Condition type and pricing procedure

In purchase order (IMPORT) has 500 line items. For each line item having customs condition type (BCD, cess, HScess, CVD, cess, HScess, Additional duty). For this manual entry is very difficult to entry.
By default condition type can pick default % or value like as
BCD 5%
Cess 2%
HScess 1%
CVD 10%
Cess 2%
HScess1%
Additional duty 4%. at the time of PO creation level by default this values come to in PO
For this anything maintain in condition type level or calculation schema level.
Pls explain step by step.

create a acess seq in tcode M\07 with say table 044 for vendor
assign this acess seq to ur condition type of customs ecess cvd etc
create a cond record in MEK1 for all import vendor
so when ever u create PO for any import vendor u will get all the value for all condition type from cond record.
u can create acess seq as u woulds like to maintain cond record may be on purchase org if u have created seprate for Imports
or vendor plant comb etc
hope this solves ur issue

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
