Purchase order unit of measure

If my base unit of measure is Metres(M), and without changing the base unit of measure if i want the purchase order to pick up KG , where all do i have to do the settings like in config or Material master record. If its material master record, then where inside material master record.
My proces here starts with PR ? So how should it be done that KG is picked up in PR also.
Where are the settings for purchase order unit of measure done(UoM) ?

hi
Goto MM02
Give the material and other required data
select PURCHASING view
In General data, next to ORDER UNIT there is a Variable Purchase Order Unit
Check on that
Activation of the variable purchase order unit.
The information from the field in the material master record is adopted in the purchasing info record. In the purchase order and in the source list, you can enter an order unit that differs from the one in the purchasing info record.
If you wish to specify a different order unit for a requisition, you must assign a source with a different order unit to the requisition.
hope this will solve ur problem

Purchase Requisition - Unit Of Measure

Hi,
We have a business requirement whereby the customer would like to see requisitions showing the purchase order unit of measure from the PIR, and not the base unit of measure from the material master.
SAP standard will not allow this nor is thee a plan to change this functionality in the near future.
The standard solution gives the users issues as they are having to validate the ordering quantity and price in the requisition, as the system will not show nor calculate the correct ordering price.
Does anyone know of a standard SAP user exit that could be manipulated to achieve this function?
Thanks in advance,
Cheers
Craig

Hi,
Do you know of any standard BADI's, user exits etc that can be utilised within the requisition process that can be accessed? I would like to use an exit to pull in the purchase order unit of measure from the PIR. (EINA-MEINS)
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Cheers Craig

Create STO with order unit of measure

Hello,
Is there a way to create Plant to plant STO with ordering unit of measure? Based on our customization we are not able to use Unit of issue from supplying plant and we also cant have base unit of measure in the STO.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thanks!

Hi,
Please refer the KBA: 1980679 - Why the field 'Unit of Issue' of the supplying plant is taken in STO? which explains the standard design. The unit of issue in the supplying plant has the highest priority in case of intra company STO and there is no configuration option to change it as of my knowledge. If you need to alter the standard behavior, you may check the feasibility of development. You may check the BAdI: ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST

PURCHASE ORDER UNIT

Hi GURUS,
I have an issue from one of our clients.
They are doing Stock Transport Purchase Order with Item Category UB. The unit of Measure is coming as the Base unit of measure. But, the Client wants it to come in Order Unit. According to my knowledge, it is not possible in standard SAP.
One more interesting point is that, he tells that he was getting it previously.
Please look into this and help me in this regard by giving your valuable suggestions.
Thanks & Regards,
Srinivasa M.S

Hi Diwakar,
The procedure you have explained has already been implemented long back.
I will explain this to you in little more detail.
The Client is using two units as mentioned below.
RM (REAM) -- Base Unit of Measure
MT (METRIC TON) -- Order Unit
If I check the Material Master for any Material, the above fashion is maintained in the Purchsing View.
So, I request you to give any other idea.
If it is not possible, can we go ABAPer. Give your valuable suggestions.
Thanks & Regards,
Srinivasa M.S

Order Unit of Measure in APO ?

Hi All,
Need your expert help...
Where is the provision to find Order UOM in APO Product master ? (The equivalent field in ECC material master is 'Order Unit' in Purchasing tab)
In APO product master, I can find 'Base UOM' & the conversion of other UOM in the tab to "unit of measure' of product master. But no where, am able to find Order UOM.
Thanks for your time...
Regards,
Krishna

Thanks for reply...
Maintaining the value directly in APO was never an otpoin we considered as the source of this order UOM is ECC and in SCM we want this to be automatically populated from ECC, based on the changes done in ECC for this order Unit at a material level.
Seems, enhancing the CIF exit for material master is the only option we have.

Krishna

TEXT material in Sales Order - Unit of Measurement is blank

We need to trigger a PR from a text item in sales order.
Only problem we are facing is an error message saying "Enter Order Unit". But there is no value in F4 help for order unit. There is no permissible value for unit of measure in F4 help, as it is derived from material master.

here is the exact requirement. We want to trigger a PR for procurement of services from a sales order. To trigger a PR for services and use service entry sheet for service confirmation we need to use item category D-Services in the PR and PO. Item category D does not allow a material to be entered as there will be no invetory tracking for this services. This is standard SAP property for item category D in the PR.
So to trigger a PR only with a text line from a sales order you need to have a sales order line item only with the text and trigger a schedule line category with the order type NB, Item category as D and account assignment category as R.

AFS Purchase Order Unit Rounding

We are implementing SAP AFS system in our garment manufacturing divison. We are facing a problem with rounding in Purhcase Order for Thread. The Base Unit for Thread is M, and the Order Unit is Roll. 1 Roll = 3500 M. When we have a PR for 4000 M, we would like the system to convert to 2 Rolls (always roundup in SKU level).
We used the MRP 1 rounding profile, but it seems to only round up at the material level not the SKU. Pls give us any suggestion.

Hi Calvin,
Hope you are using IS-R Solution along with AFS!!
You can use Unit of Measure Rounding Rules in Customization using following path;
IMG - Logistics General - Quantity Optimizing and Allowed Logistics Units of Measure - Unit of Measure Rounding Rules
The fields, % Rounding Up or % Rounding Down, indicate the percentages from which the system has to automatically round up or down to complete Logistic UoM. A percentage of 30 for % rounding up means that the system should always round up, when the quantity is 30% or more, to a multiple complete Logistic UoM. A percentage of 30 for % rounding down means that the system should always round down, when the quantity is 30% or less, to a multiple complete Logistic UoM.
After this, you have to "Maintain Rounding Profiles" using following path;
IMG - Logistics General - Quantity Optimizing and Allowed Logistics Units of Measure - Maintain Rounding Profile
After creation, you have to maintain same profle in your Article / Material master.
Hope this information will be useful.

Convert between EDI order Unit of Measure to Base Unit of Measure

Hi all,
I am looking for a method whereby the following can be accomplished
- Customer orders certain products in LBS UOM...they have been quoted a per LB price and an equivalent CS price by sales and they choose to send EDI orders in LBS
- Base unit of measure for these products is in CS. Stocking unit is cases. Pricing also maintained in cases
- I've maintained alternative UOM in the MM records to convert LBS TO CASES
What i really want is for the customer to submit the EDI order specifying LBS but when the sales order is created i want the order lines in CS. I want to deliver and bill in CS as well. I do not want the sales units to be the units that the order was submitted in.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thomas,
We make creative use of the customer-material info record (CMIR) to do what you describe.
Standard functionality of the CMIR will allow the customer to send their internal SKU on an EDI PO, converting it to our SAP material number for use in the sales order.
We maintain a u201Cconversion factoru201D in the CMIR field called Search Term. We use an exit in the inbound IDoc processing code to apply the factor to the quantity ordered and the EDI1 price condition. For example, the factor u201C/006CASu201D would divide the customeru2019s order quantity by six and use CAS as the UOM on the sales order. The EDI1 price is multiplied by six, so that our CAS pricing matches up.
This allows any customer to order with their internal SKU and UOM, while we process the orders with our internal material numbers and preferred units.
An exit on the outbound process code allows us to use the same factor to change the values back into what the customer wants to see.
This works great in the consumer products industry, where we, the supplier, have to deal with inflexible customer EDI requirements.
Regards,
Ken

Conversion factor error in sales order - Unit of measure

Hi All,
I have uploaded a sales item in to sales order with alternate UoM. The base unit of measure for that material is TO but i have uploaded with a alternate UoM KG. After that i have created project deliveries, invoices and accounted those invoices in last financial year and now i found that the conversion factor which is taken by the system was wrong.
Instead of taking 1000 KG = 1 TO, system has taken 1KG = 1000 TO
I have checked the material master there there is no alternate UoM has maintained.
So now my concern is that
1. how i can correct this conversion factor with out disturbing my old transactions.
2. From where system is considered this conversion factor.
Thanks & Regards,
Bhadrarao.

Check your conversion factors in your Unit of Measure configuration. Transaction CUNI. Look at the unit of measures for Mass.
Best Regards,
Brian

Purchase Order unit cost

It appears that SAP calculates "unit price" on a PO by using the price list and "unit price" from the item master card. This calculation will rarely result in the true purchase price for vendor/item combination. So for example if vendor Ace last purchased item X for $100 and vendor Beta last purchased item X for $70 then those are the prices that I would expect to default onto a PO for each of the 2 vendors. SAP doesn't have the ability, correct?
Also, i created an item for testing and I can't get it to appear in the PO item lookup for any vendors. It doesn't even appear for the preferred vendor I assigned to it. Any help on this?

Hi Robert,
Thought about using special prices for BP??? This will solve your problem.

Unit of Measurement - MB31 Goods receipt for order

Hi,
we maintained production unit (MARC-FRTME) for some materials. Now the goods receipt for order with MB31 suggests this production unit (MSEG-ERFME). The customer's requirement is that MB31 suggests the quantity in base unit of measure (MARA-MEINS). The quantity should be the entered value in the confirmation of the last operation.
I implemented BADI WORKORDER_GOODSMVT (IF_EX_WORKORDER_GOODSMVT~MANUAL_GOODS_RECEIPT) to convert the quantity from production unit to base unit of measure. The stock is increased correctly but the Purchase Order Unit of Measure (MSEG-BSTME) is in base unit and not in production unit. If the material document is displayed with MIGO the quantity ordered (Tab Quantity) is wrong. The quantity is the production quantity and the unit is the base unit.
For example:
MARA-MEINS: PC
MARC-FRTME: XY
1 XY <=> 12 PC
Production order: 13 XY (=156 PC)
MB31 with 100 PC
MIGO: Quantity orderd: 13 PC (instead of XY)
Does anyone have an idea how this problem can be solved?
Thanks!
Best regards
Martin

You can attend this issue by activating batch classification. Extend the classifcation view and maintain batch classification for the Unit of measurement of the material.

Bapi_po_create1 Order unit cannot be used

Hello everyone,
I'm using the BAPI_PO_CREATE1 to create a purchase order, but it's giving me the following error:
"Order unit MGW cannot be used", i'm using a material with the unit MGW defined in MM02.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Fábio Galvã

Thanks for all the replies,
I've given points to all the helpfull replies.
I've managed to create the PO with the unit I wanted, MGW, butt it only placed the unit in 'Order Price Unit (Purchasing)' and placed UN on 'Purchase Order Unit of Measure'. My requirement is to create a PO with MGW on both fields.
Is there any other field I need to fill so that the BAPI creates a PO like I need?
Thank you,
Fábio Galvã

Alternate Unit of Measure

We have a material where the base unit of measure is in BOX. An alternative UOM is defined as 11 lb = 1 box. In the info record the price is 948.93 per 100 lbs. When a PO is created we will order 6 boxes. The purchase order unit of measure = BOX and the order price unit = LB. When the PO prints it displays a quantity of 6 with price unit of LB. The PO needs to display either 6 BOX or 66 LB. At this point I am wondering if data is entered incorrectly because when a PO is created the following warning message appears "Please check units of measure and conversion factor" message no. 06340.

Looks like OPU is not defined in Material Master as alternative UoM. You only have this conversion appearing in info record. Hence when you create order, you see this warning message.
Maintain all alternative UoMs in Material Master this warning message will not appear.
How PO prints depends on how it is designed, with help of ABAPer, you can modify as required.
