Question about unit conversion for BAPI_PO_CREATE1...

Hello Experts,
How do we bypass/supress the unit conversion in BAPI 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1'? Because what is happening
right now is for example, I input in 88CV it will convert it to 'EA' as this is defined as the
PO unit of measure. I want the 88 CV to be as it is.
Also, I am manually populating the net price(net_price) with my own value as I do not want to get
the net price from the info record. But it comes back as 0. I populate the 'X' fields as to let you know.

This conversion takes place due to SPRO setting
ask your functional people to do that

UOM conversion for material

Organization purchases yarns
1000Kg yarns
It is available in unit of 2 Kg each
So one yarn is of 2 Kgu2019s
Each yarn has 50000 Mtrs of thread
( 25000 mtrs / Kg )
The stock will be of 500 yarns of 2Kg each.
Issue to production 250 yarns to produce cloth of 5000 mtrs.(cloth width of 250 threads)
After consumption balance is returned back to stores
So
250 yarns are returned each of length 45000 mtrs
The weight of each yarn will be 1.8 Kg
The consumption in production in Kg 50 Kg
Balance will be 1000 u2013 50 = 950 Kg
Now the stock is
250 yarns of 2 Kg each = 500 Kg
250 Yarns of 1.8 Kg each = 450 Kg.
Issue of 400 Yarns for production of 20000 mtrs cloth (cloth width of 400 threads)
Issue 250 Yarns of 2Kg
Issue 150 yarns of 1.8 kg
Consumption will be 400 * .8 Kg = 320 Kg
Return will be
250 yarns of 1.2 Kg
150 yarns of 1 kg each
Balance will be
250 Yarns of 1.2 Kg = 300 Kg ( length 25000 mtrs)
150 Yarns of 1 Kg = 150 Kg ( length 20000 mtrs)
100 Yarns of 1.8 Kg = 180 Kg ( length 45000 mtrs)
Total 950 -320 = 630 Kg
I want to see inventory look like this so next I can select issue for the production of cloth with different length and breadth
How shall I maintain this in SAP
How to manage UOM and conversion factors ?
Can u iterate it with making issue and receipt transactions as described??

If this question is still relevant - such textile related questions are dealt within in SAP for Mill Products, this is also where we address the requirements of the cable industry.
In cable we typically deal with the requirement to check ATP not for the total quantity alone, but considering the individual lengths available.
There are multiple ways to model this.
Most flexibility is through characteristic dependent planning in APO where individual length on a batch is a characteristic.
But you can also acchieve a lot already when using batch specific units measure. Here it strongly depends how you would like to model the batch, be it for the individual cone, or for the "bundle". A good search term here is "single unit batch".
If you are interested to reactivate this discussion, raise your hand now.

Reg : Movement Types For Material Document Numbers

Hi All,
       Is there any any field in MSEG table that links Movement Types 101 / 102 with the movement types 261 / 262.
       Here 101 / 102 Mvmt types Are meant for (GR goods receipt / Goods Return)
       and 261 / 262 Mvmt types Are meant for (GI for order / Reverse GI Order).
Regards,
Kalyan.

Dear Prashant,
                       Field "SMBLN" in MSEG table is linking Material Document Numbers with Movements 101 & 102 Only,
                       but I want a link between Mvmt types 101 & 261, which I think may not be possible with SMBLN.
                       correct me if i'm wrong.
                                                         Thank You

Unit Conversion for UOM DOL

I'm having problems converting DOL using UNIT_CONVERSION_WITH_FACTOR function module. I know DOL is the output value and $ is the input value but for some reason, 2lis_02_scl extractor is saving DOL in the PSA when $ is coming from the source system. I tried changing the Format from Internal to External within the DataSource but the value in the PSA doesn't change. I've looked at the values via PSA Managemenet and SE16 in detail view and the value remains DOL. In 3.x version there was a checkbox in the transfer rules that you can check to by pass conversion exit. Is this the same time of functionality I need in 2004s or is it a different issue? Appreciate any help I can get on this.
Thank you,

Reg insp lot for material

Dear all,
One material which is sometimes used in plant and sometimes sent to subcontractor as a component , if it is procured from
same vendor and when it is coming to plant for usage we should get insp lot and when it is sent to subcontractor we do logical
GR in the plant and material is directly sent to subcontractor at which we donot want insplot .
here material and vendor are same
Please advice
regards
venkat

Got your point.
Look, when you are physically receiving it, in MIGO receive the material with mvt type 101, normally as you do.
In case the material goes to the subcontractor and you make your GR, make the following:
Receive the material with MIGO with mvt type 103, this will not create FI document yet, the material will be in the blocked stock, after that release it with mvt type 105, this will create the FI doc you need.
Now the problem is the inspection lot, because in the standard system, mvt type 105 creates inspection lot, therefore deactivate QM on mvt types of 105, and that will stop the creation of inspection lots.

Unit Conversion issue for same material with Diff KPI

Hi,
i have a report with multiple key figures which form a structure.
Unit conversion for this report and all the key figures are defined at report level.
Below are the settings in place
Source currency:    Data record from target
Target Currency:    From variable ( Input variable in BeX report)
Conversion factor: Dyanamic Determination of conversion factor
                               Using Reference Infobject if available otherwise use T006
                               Reference Infobject: 0Material
Issue: For 1 Key figure conversion to TO is happening, however for other Key figure conversion is not happening for the same material.
Note: Conversion to TO is defined in BEX settings for Info object 0material and stored in DSO UOM0MATE.
Why for same material some key figures convert to target unit correctly and not the others?
See the attached screenshot. Sales Quantity is convertin to "TO" while Volume third party shows figue in"ERR" for same material.
Thanks
Nayab

Hi,
Following reasons cause to your issue,
1. Unit Conversion is not maintained for that particular material in source system Material itself, so that conversion data data may not updated in DSO (UOM0MATE).
2. For particular transnational data record key figure value don't have any base unit or units measures, that case also you may get that error.
Request check the transnational data in your InfoProvider and 0Material Master data and DSO data (UOM0MATE) . Correct the data based on that.
Check the Master data test in RSRV for 0Material, if any SID generations was missed or not.
I hope this can be help to find the cause of error , based on that you can resolve problem.
Thanks & Regards,
Leela Krishna.

User Exit for Material Plan Costs

I have an escenario where the client needs another option to calculate the material plan costs, but need to identify the correct user exit.
In transaction OKYF exist the option "U Valuation Price with User Exit" but need the user exit to use.
Hope to receive information soon...
Best Regards...

Hi
you can use unit costing for material option for this...
Automatic netowrk costing for material component
you need to maintain proper costing variant for material component in config.
in projects assign material then select material -edit - cost - unit costing.
which will get reflected in network cost in CJ40.

Unit Costing in Material components

Dear Experts,
I have come across a requirement where dummy materials are to be used for cost planning. These materials wonu2019t be processed any further. The planned cost for these materials is project specific ie. Material A in Project 001 costs 1 $ while same material in Project 002 costs 5$.
We are planning to use unit costing to cater this requirement. Unit costing works for Item category L.
The planned cost from Unit costing for material is considered when we create u201Creservation + purchaser requisitionu201D for WBS element for the material.
On Creating u201Creservationu201D for WBS element, the planned cost from Unit costing is ignored and the planned price is calculated as per the valuation strategy maintained in the Network costing variant (valaution variant). However it is intended that the cost for unit costing is to be considered for reservation for WBS.
We are using std. costing variant PS04 for material costing.
Is there something I am missing so that the planned cost for material from Unit costing is considered in case of reservation for WBS?
Regards
Sejo

Phoenixcfa & Ahmed,
Thanks for ur inputs.
I had already thought of the option you have suggested. In the currect process, the "Res / Purc. req." is maintained as "Immediate" at network header level. So the activity also inherits the same reservation relevance & it cannot be changed from "immediate" to "Never".
As suggested by Phoenixcfa it has some thing to do with split valuation. I could carry out the unit costing for a material with "res. for WBS" in IDES.
Hope, I will figure why it doesnot work our Dev system, soon.
Regards
Sejo

Function modules for unit conversion

hai gurus.

pls help me with this

Hi

Some Insights-
Unit conversions
with NW2004s the HOW-TO GUIDE for qty conversion is obsolete.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/27/b65c42b4e05542e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
As of SAP NetWeaver 2004s you can create quantity conversion types using transaction RSUOM.
The business transaction rules of the conversion are established in the quantity conversion type. The conversion type is a combination of different parameters (conversion factors, source and target units of measure) that determine how the
conversion is performed.
In terms of functionality, quantity conversion is structured similarly to currency translation.
Quantity conversion allows you to convert key figures with units that have different units of measure in the source system into a uniform unit of measure in the BI system when you update them into InfoCubes
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/27/b38c4284a8c353e10000000a1550b0/content.htm
It is entered in ODS table linked to info object (0material)
What you need to do basically is-
1 ) Goto your infoobject for eg- 0material
2 ) In Info object Maintenance- Tab page- Bex Explorer
3 ) Enter 0BASE_UOM in Base unit of measure
4 ) Generate UOM ODS (System generates it with prefix UOM)
It is made of 4 fields (1 more in case of compounding) with SID for them. This is the place where you enter numerator and
denominator to calculate conversion factor
5 ) Load the UOM ODS with conversion from 0MAT_UNIT_ATTR or flat file
6 ) Define conversion type
7 ) In the conversion type, then you can select 0Material in the dynamic determination of conversion factor
8 ) Select source unit and target unit

Material unit conversion problem

Hi,
I am using transaction mm03 to read a material
In the DisplayBasicData1 view i can see the BAse unit of measurement
and also the alternae UOM in the dimensions box.
I need bapi/function module to convert between these material Units
I tried using
MD_CONVERT_MATERIAL_UNIT but it is not giving result
eg for material 1424 chocolate -
basic unit of meaurement - PC
alternate
weight kg 28
net weight 27.9 kg
volume 0.750 M3
it is showing error in result
How can i achieve this conversion - using some bapi
or func module ?
please help me with the input fields also as i do not have much knowledge about the input fields in ABAP.
Thanks
Points assured for help

Unit of measure conversion for CIN is not relevant for pricing

During creation of Ad item type order, when we enter the planned ad size e.g. A CO (Columns) x B IN (Inches), the system is showing a message "Unit of measure conversion for CIN is not relevant for pricing" and pricing is not determined in the Billing Data Set. However if the planned ad size is maintained as A CO (Columns) x B MM (Millimeters), there is no impact to pricing conditions.
Any light how to fix this issue?
Thanks,
Suseela. V

Dear Suseela,
You need to maintain Unit of conversion using transaction code JH51. You have to follow the path Logistics-Advertising Management-Master Data-Conditions-Order/Billing Document-UM for Pricing.
Here you can maintain combination using Booking Unit, Content Component, Design type and assign Unit of Measure to get relevant pricing into billing set conditions.
Hope it will help. Thanks!

FM for Material number conversion from R/3 to APO in R/3

Hi,
   Can anybody tell me conversion exit (function module) for Material number conversion from R/3 to APO in R/3 system. I mean i have 18 digit R/3 material number which i have to convert to 40 digit APO material number in R/3 system.
Please suggest to win full points.
Thaniks in Advance,
Chandan Dubey

Dear Chandan,
Conversion Exits:
CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT ....... If you are storing Material With Zeros
Then concatenate it with 22 zeros. i.e. '0000000000000000000000000000'.
For example:
data : v_matnr type matnr,            "R/3 Material
       v_apo_matnr(40) type c,        "APO Material with 40 length
       v_zeros(22) type c. value '0000000000000000000000000000'.
CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT'
       EXPORTING INPUT          = v_matnr
       IMPORTING OUTPUT         = v_matnr.
concatenate e_mantr v_zeros into
            v_apo_matnr.
