Required (Purchasing UoM) in Item Master

What is u2018Required (Purchasing UoM)u2019 in the Planning tab of Item Master? What is the purpose of setting this value? There is a validation that this value must be between the MIn and Max value. Why?

The following is the Help by SAP for these Fields:
Enter the minimum, maximum, and required inventory levels for this warehouse.
In the Required (Purchase UoM) field, the system displays the quantity needed to keep the stock at the minimum level.
The system:
● Issues alerts when the quantity goes below the minimum (Release Stock Below Minimum Level in Document Settings must be selected)
● Does not let you enter stock documents when stock reaches maximum quantity

Hi Sekar,
The required inventory level in Item Master with the following function:
In the Required (Purchase UoM) field, the system displays the quantity to keep the stock at the minimum level.
If you select Release Stock Below Minimum Level in the Document Settings, the system issues alerts when the quantity goes below the minimum. The system does not let you enter stock documents when the stock reaches its maximum quantity.

Translation of UoM in Item Master Data

Hi all,
Problem:
Our customer uses multi-language support. In the item master data they use the purchasing and sales UoM which is printed on the marketing documents. For example "ST" in German corresponds to "pc" in French (piece). They need to go into each item one by one and enter the translation even if the UoM is always the same.
Possible solution:
A table behind the UoM field so that you can select from a drop down list. You would then need to translate each entry in the table just once.
Best regards,
Gunther

Different UOMs in Item Master

Hi,
My client manufactures/Purchases TMT Bars and sales them. Their process is as follows:
They maintain stock in Pieces Unit. But their sales price is in Per Meter Unit and Bill amount is calculated as (Qty)(Length per pcs)(price per meter).
For Example:
Item Code: TMT001
Length: 30meter
Price: Rs 100/meter
Now at the time of making sales Doc:
Qty=3
Total Length=3*30=90
Total Price=90*100=9000
Stock-On-Hand qty will be decreased by 3 after sale.
How can I map this in SBO? What will be my Inventory UOM, Sales UOM, Purchase UOM?
How can I use "Factors" here?What price should I enter in price lists?
Regards,
Sibasish

Thanx Mr Gordon,
But from their costing they get per meter cost only and also they need to generate price lists (rate per meter) reports to send to their distributors. So per meter rate is required any how.

How to update Item UOM in Item master

Hi All,
How can we update UOM of an old Item (with existing transaction) in Item master?
Thanks in advance,
Nuel

Hi Nuel,
It is not possible to update the UOM for an item.
Even Oracle support cannot give data fix once the item is transacted.
Only way I say is to change the item name using the profile option INV: Updatable Item Name
Then recreate new item with correct UOM.
For Example - item name is TEST.
Change the name to TEST-OLD.
Create new item with TEST.
Issue out all old onhand and recieve new onhand.
Please let me know if you have questions.

How to setup initial purchase prices in item master.

How can I setup my purchase prices for the items which I have not purchased yet? I am running MRP wizard to get the purchase recommendations when I convert them to purchase orders or even on the recommendation list the prices are coming up zero. I do not want to setup price list since the prices are keep changing. Please note that this is only for the items which we have not purchased yet. Seems it works okay as soon as we do inventory transactions (goods rec or inventory rec).
Please let me know if anyone has come across to this situation.
Tkx

That is right. Nothing changed. The only differences are more transactions recorded. All zeroed out themselves. I have done it couple of times.
You can check the item posting history and got two postings such as +1 and -1. That is all.

Item Master in Oracle Purchasing

Greetings to All,
Im am currently working with a client. Who has the following modules installed. GL-AP-AR-Purchasing-iProcurement.
My client would like to me to create an item in Item Master. Then have that item show up in iProcurement. When a user searchs for that item. Finds it. Requisition it. That item if its listed on a Blanket Release, should be able to go against that item.
STEPS DONE SO FAR:
I have created the item...called "prt-0001" in the master org. Gave the item UOM, purchasing attributes, and price.
Ran E-Catalog Extractor.
Checked iProcurement item not found.
Item category and PO item catergory were setup before I came onboard.
Can anyone shed some light on what I am missing. Please be aware that Im a Functional Person...with little exposure to Technical side.
Thanks

Hi,
You can extract items without List Price , but that item will get extracted to iProcurement without a price then you wont be able to enter a price while creating and approving a requisition.
Steps to Tie to ASL and BPA
1. Create the item in Item Master
2. Purchasing Attributes setup completed (Also ensure PO Item Category is set)
3. Create ASL for the item in the ASL screen (Ensure its for child org / it has a site )
4. Go and create a BPA for the above supplier and site along with the item in the line details
5. Run Extractor program for classifications and items
6. Go to iProc and query for the item in Categories -- U should be able to view the same with the price as entered in BPA

I'm a bit stuck with a problem in my Item Master Data. There is a quantity of 30 in the "Ordered" column under Inventory Data. But I can't seem to find the purchase orders linked to this Quantity. What am I missing?

Hi,
Check is there any open production order for this item.
Or
Right click the item and -> Inventory Status
Double click the row -> Now you can see the split up of the Quantity. Refer the below image
Above method is not working then try below,
Help -> Support Desk->Restore->Restore Item Balance
Select the appropriate item in From and TO then click OK
Now check the order quantity.

Not able to change UOM in material master for a material

Please help urgently
Thanks in Advance
Neha

Hi Satyajit,
Please look at OSS Note 1069560 - Data inconsistencies: Activating integration. models in parallel, if this helps you.
Since Gross data of material is in the basic view, it is common across plants , whereas, IMs are normally designed to have material masters at plant level.
We may have same material in different IMs with different plants. Therefore changes of the basic view fields are then contained in multiple IMs. SAP advises to have a larger IM or sequential activation of IMs.
I hope this will help you .

Relation between item master org and operating Unit

How single item master org can relate to multiple operating Unit so that items defined at Master Org level can be accessed in other operating units ?

Hi,
Item will be accessed in inventory organizations which you assigned the item to.
To access items from particular Operating Unit in Purchasing module
define Operating Unit Organization as a Inventory Organization as well.
Then choose this Organization as a Inventory Organization in Purchasing : Setup>Organizations>Financial Options.
In Order Management you choose an Operating Unit which items can be accessed.
Each item assign to Item Master Organization and to Operating Unit Organization and to required Inventory Organizations.
This works in 11i. I dont know how it is in R12.

Marcin
