Sales Order Quantity in Base unit of measure

Hi All,
I have a requirement in which I need Sales Order quantity in base uom. However, I noticed that 2lis_11_vatim doesn't extract this figure but instead has numerator and denominator in the extractor by which we would be able to calculate it. But, I am bit reluctant to do so as it might have an issue with rounding values.
I know that there are some standard function modules in R/3 which do this conversion. Is there any such FMs in BW to do this conversion? If not, is there any other way to get the sales order quantity in base uom other than calculating it using numerator and denominator?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Rgds,
James.

Hi Ajeet,
Just to confirm, is this the formula you normally use?
Quan * N/D
Quan = Quantity to be converted
N = Numerator
D = Denominator

Rounding the order quantity in different Units of measurement

Hello Experts,
We need your suggestion to meet the below mentioned client's requirement.
There are around 200 SKUs in the consideration and three units of measure ( case, carton and pallet defined for them).We are looking for way to suggest the order qty based on multiples of the unit, case, carton & pallet Quantities.
The order will always be placed in base unit PC and system should suggest the best possible combination with a Pop Up message.
For example with this SKU
SKU Unit Case Carton Pallet
123456 1 12 144 8640
Customer ordered 10 units during the validation of that line pop up message should suggest 12 units. (1 case)
Customer ordered 5 units there should be no suggestion ( 5 units )
Customer ordered 130 units during the validation of that line pop up message should suggest 132 units. (11 cases)
Customer ordered 146 units during the validation of that line pop up message should suggest 144 units. (1 carton)
Customer orders 153 units during the validation of that line pop up message should suggest 156 units. (1 case + 1 Carton)
Suggestions needs to be able to round up or round down based on the closest combination multiple.
I have gone through the idea of roudning profile idea but need some more inputs as how to realize the same.
As one material can have requirement in all alternate units of measurement and we can assign one profile per UoM in Material master and the order quantity is not dependent on any specific customer group so how would the system recogine/derive the best possible combination in different cases for different UOM.
Pls provide your valable inputs.
Many thanks in advance.

I don't think thsi is possible with SAP Standard settings & you will have to apply a User Exit.
You ABAPer will have to develop a logic based on your requirements & then system can give a pop-up with best possible combination.
Thanks,
Jignesh Mehta

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.

Ken

Base Unit of Measure to Sales Unit Conversion

Hi,
Currently we are selling material in MT and all other transactions in MM and Production are in MT only.
Now client wants material to be sold in Meters, also in some cases the same material will be sold in MT also.
(As per my knowledge generally if the conversion is one to one i.e. base unit of measure is pieces and Sales unit of measure will be boxes and
1 box = 10 pieces can be maintained in material master.)
Here for conversion between Metric tonne to Meters there is formula involved so how and where this conversion needs to maintained in system.
How to map this type of scenario.
What all activities needs to be done from SD side and which other modules need to be involved this process.
Note: SAP is installed for more than 3 years now.
Hope i clear enough.
Regards,

Hi following is the formula.
OD = Outer diameter, thickness, length, Number of tubes are maintained in sales order charateristics during sales order creation.

Base unit of measurement while saving production order

Hi
While saving production order I am getting following problems:
"Material has no base unit of measure"
Whereas UOM is there, I also can see that as soon as I enter qty while creating the order. System automatically prompts the UOM.
I also donot find any problem in MRP run, planned order creation etc
So what can be the problem?
Edited by: BNR on Nov 24, 2008 5:22 AM

Dear,
It may be data base problem as you are getting this problem fequently so please check with Basis person.
Have you defined the any production unit in both material master WS view & in routing or any other alternative unit of measurement please check?

Base unit of measure is different from Idoc to purchase order toSAP System.

Hi Gurs,
vendor send a purchase order for confirmation through EDI, the base unit of measure in the Idoc is PA( Parcel). For this same material the unit of measure in R/3 system is PC.( Piece). I got a error on this.I checked in CUNI, In Unit of measurement ST (PC) is already assigned to unit PCE in EDI. But i dont want to change the Conversion.I need this also and I want to create a new conversion ST(PC) is assign to PA( Parcel).
Please help in this.
Is it possible to maitainthe ISO-code PA into table Units of Measurement of Dimension?
Edited by: Vadivel Karalam on Nov 1, 2010 1:13 PM

Hi,
You are getting the error because as part of the std ( For ALE/EDI) the unit of measurement that is maintained is PC whereas if you look at another unit of measure that you have mentioned, the std doesn't define anything under the ALE/EDI setup.
Because of that all the conversions are coming with PC. So pls goto general settings and check unit of measure menu. There for each of your units, there is a section for ALE/EDI, set up the relevant UoM and the issue should get resolved.
Hope it helps.

Base Unit of Measure issue

Hi Experts,
As per the scenario, my client is manufacturing a rod whose std length is 6m. But, he is selling it in other sizes also like 4.3, 5.5 so on. So, the price should be get calculated on length & no of pieces.
As, per my understanding I had put base unit of measure as meter & sales unit as ea. Conversion rate has been maintained as 1ea=6meter. But, then as he is selling it in different sizes also. How to calculate price in such condition. Please throw some light on it.
Regards,
Prashant

hi
i am not expert
based on b knowledge
when you fix the unit of measure 1ea=6m , based on this system will pick the quantity , you raise the sale order for each then system will take meters like 1ea=6m,
you requirement it 4.3.5.5 m , so you can change the unit of measure for particular material , like 1m =1m , then system will take correct quantity , and based on this system will take price , your pricing is manual or automatic , when manual no problem , automatic you maintain , quantity based price ,
you can change the unit of measure for material at mm02 , at additional data, you can maintain
please try this

Sales order quantity in MD04

Hi Gurus,
This is my problem -
51 links (Base UoM) = 2.5 feet (Sales & Production UoM)
Delivery unit = 53 links
In VA01 -> when I entered Sales order = 12 feet system automatically rounded it to 12.990 feet.
I also received a pop up showing "Item 10 rounded to 265 lk. Rounding reasons 1,2,8 -> long text"
In MD04 -> when I look at the Sales order quantity = 264.996 links.
Ran MRP and the planned order quantity = 265 links
There is a surplus inventory of ------------> 0.0004 links
Settings in CUNI: (due to business reasons - Links can NOT be in Decimals. Feet has to be in decimals)
CUNI

Thanks a lot Dave. You are the only guy who really understood my issue in the first place.
And you asked all the right questions.
Just for the sake of our discussion - I created a brand new material (material setup is same as production client). MRP settings- Proc type E, PD, EX, no rounding profiles, strategy 40, Collective.

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???
Vijay

See this OSS note : especially the last sentence:
From OSS note 138767
Within the material master record maintenance, you want to change the base unit of measure (base unit). During the change, the system performs extensive checks in order to avoid inconsistencies in the applications which use the material master.
In particular, the following checks are performed:
The base unit must not be defined as an alternative unit of measure for the material
No International Article Number must be assigned to the base unit
No proportion/product units must be defined for the material
No configurable material must be assigned
The material must not be used as a configurable material
Stock must neither exist for the previous period nor for the current period
No physical inventory must be active
No reservations or dependent requirements must exist for which the deletion indicator is not set
No planned orders must exist
No purchase requisitions, purchase orders or scheduling agreements must exist for which the deletion indicator is not set
No WM transfer requirements, no WM quants or no WM posting change notices must exist
The material must not be a bill of material
The material must not be contained in a bill of material
The material must not be used as a production resource/tool
The material must not be used in task lists
No standard cost estimate must exist for the current or future period
No production orders must exist
No planned independent requirements must exist
No run schedule headers must exist
If the base unit has dimensions, no serial number profile must be assigned
No sales and distribution documents must exist which have status Not processed or Partially processed.
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

Base unit of measure

Dear Expert
my query is whenever i add new base unit of measure what are the effect it had on the system , i mean how base unit effect in the back end ...how system process base unit of measurement .
Regards

Dear usmfarhan
Actually Base unit of Measurement is the UoM which u want to maintiain ur inventory in the system.
i.e whater u r buying it from vendor ...it might be in Ea or Box or Carton
And you want to store in KG
So you can have Additional unit of Measurement and its conversion that can be defined in AMterial master in additional unit of measurement
Let us say Base UoM is KG and ur Ordering unit is TON
So u have to define Conversion rule as 1 Ton = 1000 KG in material master.
,While changing Base unit of measurement you should make sure that stock should not be there.
Secondly neither Purchase order for Raw material not Sales order for FG should exist in the system ,Neitehr routing should exist for FG
Or else system will not allow u to change UoM

Base Unit of Measure - Day & Hours

Hi All,
We are facing a unique problem. We created a material with Base Unit of Measure as "DAY". At the time of MIGO, the FI Document also got posted with Quanity 5.00 and Base Unit of Measure as "DAY".
However, when we go to the Report Painter Reports in Controlling and see the Quantity; we see 120.00 Hours rather than 5.00 Days and we are unable to figure out because of which settings, system is behaving like this.
We checked the configuration of Unit of Measure through T. Code CUNI and found everything OK.
Kindly request you to throw some light on this.
Thanks,
Shalin

i day = 24hrs, system has calculated the 5days and converted into 120hrs.
please check the Order unit used in PO
also check the stock keeping unit/issue unit in master
also check the info record

Restricting decimals in Sales Order Quantity

Hi All, I have a requirement to restrict the decimals in the sales order quantity i.e the system should not allow the quantity to be entered with a decimal value like 2.4 or 5.6 only the whole numbers (1,2, 3....) should be accepted by the system in slaes order quantity. I have tried to make the settings using t-code CONI....but its not working.pls suggest

Hello,
check the UoM (unit of measure) of your products in material master.
Then you may define in customizing how many decimals are admitted for that specific UoM.
E.g.: currently PC (pieces) do not admit decimals otherwise KG (kilos) may accept them.

Rounding : User flexibility to edit the Sales Order quantity.

Hello Gurus,
We are on 6.0 and have the following requirements.
1st requirement: To round the Sales Order Quantity to the Alt Unit of Measure (higher or lower). As a solution we could use the Rounding Profile.
The problem is with 2nd requirement below.
2nd business requirement: When the system rounds the Sales Order quantity to higher or lower, the user should have the flexibility to edit the Sales Order quantity and decide whether to permit rounding or not, as suggested by the system.
Currently, with standard config, the system gives the message V1720 saying it has rounded the quantity with a reason. After the rounded quantity is suggested by the system, even if the user edits the Sales Order quantity, the system puts it back to the previously rounded quantity.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENT : We would like to have the Rounding but we want the user to be able to edit the rounded quantity.
REASON : Since the products are high value, we want the customer to feel comfortable with the rounded quantity.
The users do not want to impose the rounded quantity compulsorily on the customer. If the customer is not comfortable with the rounded quantity, the customer should be givne the choice of a non-rounded quantity.
IMPACT : In these difficult times, every Order is important. If we don't not give this choice to the customer, the customer might decide not to order at all. We do not want to lose the Order just because of the higher rounded quantity. But, at the same time, we would like to give the choice to the customer of the rounded quantity and his non-rounded quantity.
PLEASE NOTE : In this situation, the Rounded quantity is slightly different from Minimum Order quantity. The Minimum Order quantity is not the solution.
QUESTION : Is there any standard setting or is User Exit, BADI the only method ?
Thanks in advance
Srinivas

Hi Prakash,
Thanks for the reply. Actually these customers are created as a Agents and we are using these customers in Commission rebates. So at the time of Rebate partial credit memo, then these agents should be active otherwise system will give the error.
So what i am thinking is, Standard sales order creation needs to be restricted so that users can not able to create standard order.
So can you suggest is there any user exit can be used to prevent creation of standard order for these account group and order type xxx?
Regards,
SK

Tracking the actual sale order quantity

Hi Friends,
How to track the actual sales order quantity given by the customer.
Ex: we assume the customer has placed an order of 100 units and stock is only 90 so we create the sales order for 90 units only.
How to find out the difference of 10 units as a report in standard sap system.
Thanks
AJ

Dear AJ,
This is how normal sales process works.
You create Sales Order line item for the quantity that customer has requested. (eg: 100)
Then you do a ATP for that Line item. Let's say you have only 90 in the stock. In that case system will confirm 90 for the sales order line item. (You can see the confirmed quantity in the Schedule line tab)
Normally we don't change the LI quantity as per the ATP confirmed quantity (i.e 90). Because then we loose the visibility to the customers original requested quantity (i.e 100).
Say you don't change your Line Item Order quantity to 90. Then your delivery & billing will be for 90.
So you can see in VA05, Order quantity as 100 and confirmed quantity as 90.
Your sales reports will show delivery & billing as 90. So that you have a clear visibility to the original order quantity, delivered quantity & billed quantity.
Further if remaining (open) quantity 10 is appearing your MRP & creating troubles, please use Line Item Rejection Reason as Completed. So that everything is perfect.
Coming back to your issue.
Since your changing LI quantity to 90, you cant see 100 in the VA05 report. It always show the existing sales order line item quantity, which is 90 in this example.
Only way you can find your original sales order quantity is in the Line Item / Change Log.
This can be view by selecting below Menu option.
Environment -> Changes
If you execute it for the relevant Line Item, you can see the Change log. In that by double clicking relevant quantity change line, you can see the old value & new value. (In this example 100 & 90)
But that is not a good practice to do as changes will show all quantity changes that you might do based on customer request. (Imagine if you customer ask to change it later to 95 not 100).
In that case change log will display 100 to 95, then 95 to 90. So your loosing the required visibility.
Hope this is helpful to you !
