Sample Quantity to be in alternative Uom

Dear QM Gurus,
We have a material which has basic uom as KG. We will be maintaining the alternative uom as PCS and conversion factor as 1KG = 1330 PCS in Material master. Now we want sample quantity in the inspection lot to be created in alternative uom instead of basic uom. Already we maintained PCS in inspection plan header level & MIC. But still the sample quantity is coming in KG.
Kindly guide me to solve this issue.

Alternative UOM wrong quantity conversion

While issuing the material qty 50 PCE its converts into 300.002 Kg, as it should be 300 Kg.
The alternative UOM is maintained as, 1PCE = 6 Kg.

Can you provide more details about where you issuing it. If possible upload screenshots n paste the link here of mtl master (Alt. UoM page), then stock keeping unit, the goods issue posting etc. to get a better understanding.

Sample quantity consumption in QA11

Dear All,
I have come across a scenerio where in sample unit of measure is other than inspection lot unit of measure and we want to post sample stock in the other uom only.
Scenerion-
Inspection lot is created in the base unit of measure 'BT'. At the time of testing we are taking the tablets from the packed product. Now produced material base UOM is BT but I am taking samples in tabletes because we dont want to waste entire bottle.
Now at the time of sample posting we want system to consume sample quantity in 'Tablets' and not in bottles. But system is not giving such kind of flexibility over there.
Is this requirement can be fulfilled by some of workaround ? Pls. suggest.
Regards
Amit Patil

You need to maintain a conversion between your bottle and tablets in your material master. Then create your inspection plan for tablets and assign the material to it.
In hindsight, your BUOM really should be tablets and not a bottle. Typically it is recommended that the smallest utlized UOM is what you want to use for your BUOM.

Report for material and alternative UOM

Hi Guru's
is there ant transaction/standard report where i can see the list of materials and alternative UOM
Thankyou

Hi,
No such standard report available in SAP to see for many materials. in MM03 under Additional Data, you can see but material wise.
Better use table MARM to see the same and create an ABAP Query of Report using this table.

Stock report in alternative UoM

Hi we are maintaining the stock of our FG in PCs as a base UoM . But our sales and distribution dept needs a sotck in alternative UoMs also
Eg 10 Pc = 1 Box , and 120 Box = 1 Case likewise
They needs the stock in Boxes and cases also
I have maintained conversion in Material Master , but I do not find any report which shows me these alternative UoMs
Please tell me is there any such report available

Hi Bhushan,
You will have to go in for Z report. In MB51 you can see only by movement type & also Unit of Entry & Base UoM.
In MMBE per material, you can change the UoM & see the stocks, but this will be material by material & not for a range of materials.
Read the data from MARD, MARM tables & also if you're maintaining special stocks, refer to MSPR, MCHB etc.
Hope the above helps.
Regards,
Vivek

Fixed quantity not supported for alternative items

Hi dears,
I was trying to configure in a Bill of Material a group of components marked together as "Alternative item", having the Fixed quantity indicator set (so the quantity is not in proportioned with the order quantity).
However, when I do this action I have the error message no. 29485 "Fixed quantity not supported for alternative items", because a fixed quantity is not allowed for alternative items.
Leaving out the fact that I don't understand for which kind of logic this should be done, do you know if there is any solution to achive the same result (use alternative item and each of them should be with fixed quantity despite th eorder quantity)?
Thanks and regards,
Giovanni

Mass deletion of alternative UOM conversion

Hi Colleagues,
Does anybody knows is there an easy way for mass-deletion of alternative unit of measure conversion rules in material master?
Thanks,
Artashes

I did the following way:
1. created a recording which always deletes the second line in Additional data-> uom conversions.
2. by multiply running this recording via lsmw will delete all uoms.
3. I was not able to do it at once as different materials has different numbers of alternative uom entered.
Thanks,
question closed.

Alternative UOM in product overview(/n/sapapo/pov1)

Hi,
In the product overview,we can see the product quantities in base UOM. our requirement is,we have to see Alternative UOM.
How to get this?
Thanks & Regards
Akthar

Dear Akthar,
you can define in /sapapo/mat1on ATB tab a "Display Unit". Here you can choose your alternative UOM and then while displaying the quantites your Alternative UOM will be used.
On PP/DS area if you want to use a particular unit of measure for certain products that is different to the base unit of measure, you must have maintained a production unit in the product master. Choose Master Data -> Product. You can maintain a production unit on the PP/DS tab page in the Units of Measure group frame.

Planing in COPA in alternative UoM

Hi all,
a question : Is it possible to plan in COPA in alternative UoM.The stock keeping unit is EA, but unfortunately the planning department wants to plan in KG. Conversion between the UoM's is maintained in Material master.The project itself is a roll-out and COPA is pre-configured. There is 2 value fields in the operating concern that can store the data for volume in those two UoM
Also I saw in TC KEDR , that a step" Clear " is customized to clear all the postings in the value field where KG volumes are posted.From conditions there i remove the our company code, but w/o any success. Whatever I have posted to the KG value field without any conversion is moved / reposted in value field for EA.
Can you help me with this.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Maria
In my opinion, you should not remove the entry of your company code from KEDR
In the conditions, you should put condition as "BUKRS <> XXXX", where XXXX = your company code... This means, the derivation step will run only if the company code is Not Equal to Your company code

OLE: export quantity with decimals according to UoM

Dear Guru,
I encounter a problem when exporting data from Itab to Excel using OLE.
In the itab, there are many Quantity fields (with UoM). When I export to Excel, I want the number of decimals of each quantity field must comply with UoM (for ex: PC with 0 decimal, Kgs with 3 decimals).
I try to write the qty to text, it's ok but I also need the exporting qty is formatted as a number in Excel so user can do a sum.
The solution for this problem seems complicated. I have to write qty to text, convert text to number...But for a large number of data, it is really slow.
Is there anybody encounter the same problem? Please advice the solution.
Thanks.

> The solution for this problem seems complicated. I have to write qty to text, convert text to number...But for a large number of data, it is really slow.
You make confusion about the real problem. Converting the quantity is not time consuming (or your program is really badly programmed ).
What is time consuming is making many calls to OLE.
To avoid that issue, SAP uses the Data Provider and the Desktop Office Integration (DOI). The whole data is sent to the frontend once (more or less), and sends only a few instructions to the frontend to process this data. I don't really know the exact process, but it's really, really much faster.
DOI can be programmed directly (there are SAP demo programs which show how it works, search forum), and there is an upper abstraction if you only need to paste data, set colors, that is indicated by Pedro.

Using Alternative UOM in transaction VA21

We want to use alternative UOM for Hydrocarbon Product during creation of a quotation using transaction VA21 and document type QT so that user can change the Alternative UOM say in KG or L15 or change the temperature and density of the material.
Grateful if anyone provides a solution.

Hi!
Please solve:
In Material Master for material HSD02, Base UOM is L15 and Sales Unit is KL.
Earlier in Additional Data, 1 KL <= 1000 L15 is stored.
Now I want to chage the conversion factor as 1 KL <= 987.9 L15 or 10 KL <= 9879 L15.
Hence I wanted to delete the earlier entry with 1 KL <= 1000 L15 and tried to maintain 10 KL <= 9879 L15.
This is not allowed. On saving the change again earlier entry 1 KL <= 1000 L15 appears in Additional Data -> Unit of Measure.
Thanks in anticipation.

Alternative UoM in HU monitor screen

Hi Expert,
I have a problem regarding the Alternative UoM in Handling Unit monitor screen (HUMO).
We use alternative UoM to manage the material in our plant. and all the material is in Handling Unit management. for example, 1bag = 13kg. when we sale it in bag unit of measure.
we can display stock with different UoM with transaction LS26. but we can not display the material in UoM "bag" in HUMO transaction.
SO the sale people need to calculate it manually and convert them to bag since we use HU manage it.
Do anyone have the same situation?
Thanks
Rocky

It is not possible to view alternate UOM in HUMO,another option to see th HU stock in location MMBE by giving alternate UOM.
For end user to see the stock alternative UOM then you need to write aABAP query to put some logic to show alternative UOM qty or develop a new report.

Mapping Physical Sample Quantity - Inspection Plan Characteristics Quantity

Hello,
There is a requirment to map Physical Sample Quantity QPRS-MENGE (Size of the Physical Sample) with PLMK-PRUEFEINH (Sample Quantity Factor for Sample(Mult. Sample Unit of Msr.)) based upon Inspection Lot.
Thanks and Regards,
Prabhjot Singh
Moderator message: OK, so please start working on your requirement.

why can't we use Physical sample drawing process (T.code:QPV2 ) for auto creation of physical samples.

APO SNP Planning Book Show Product View alternative UoM

Hi,
I have a base UoM of BTL and an alternative UoM of CAS.
I can change/save in my users settings the in transactions /SAPAPO/RRP3 (Product View) and /SAPAPO/SDP94 (Planning Book) to show the alternative UoM CAS as default.
The problem I have is when I enter the Planning Book, load a product, right click on the product (in Selected Objects), select Show Product View and then look at the stock tab, this always shows as the base UoM BTL. Can this be saved to show the alternative UoM CAS?

Hi Linda,
Try changing you user settings for a product in RRP3 Screen.
Page Menu --> Settings -->General Tab -->General Panel -->enter AUOM value (CAS in your case).
Note - The conversion only takes place for the products, for which the alternative unit of measure entered is also entered as the alternative unit of measure in the product master, or for the products, for which the base unit of measure has the same dimension as the alternative unit of measure.
Caution: Test it , how its affecting for other products which doesnt have CAS as AUOM.
All products which have BUOM as BTL will be changed to CAS when AUOM is maintained for them in product master.
Thanks
Vinoth
