SAPscript unit of measurement (UoM) changed during print

Hi Experts,
I am doing my SAPscript and its print program for Invoice printing (VF02/VF03). The problem only occurs when its UoM is BOX. It will display in the Invoice printing as '012' instead of BOX. When I debug in the print program, in structure VBDPR (field VRKME), it has the correct UoM which is BOX. When I debug my SAPscript, it will give me 012 as its UoM!! I don't know what is the reason behind this behavior. Please advice.
Points will be given....Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Fauzah.

hi
For all other UoM is it coming correct ?
there is two table fields for UoM MEINS n GEWEI , check which one ur displaying in Sap Script.
try with do change in that field , thic can solve ur problam .

UOM Change during Usage Decision

Hi Gurus,
I am maintaining 2 UOM in the material master .
1) Kg
2 ) Tonne
I am purchasing my material in Tonnes . During Usage decision, I want to post my material in Kg.
I ] Is it possible to make the UOM change during Usage Decision.
II] Is it possible to use same inspection plan for the same UOM, In case of I am recieving the material by Kg or Tonne
Thanks in Advance.
Srinivasan

You cannot normally change the UOM in the UD. You can only use the bas UOM. SAP however does have a note on using alternate UOM in the stock posting. It is not as seamless as you would probably like, but its the best you'll do.
The note is 605861.
I posted part of it below.
Craig
With the import of the assigned Support Package or the implementation of
this note, a Business Add-In is made available with which you can program
an input help for quantities in the usage decision.
For example, this enables you to specify quantities for the stock posting
in an alternative unit of measure in the usage decision. Via a
corresponding BAdI implementation, you can call up a dialog box - in which
you can specify the respective quantity with the required unit - in the
usage decision when you use the input help (F4) for the quantity fields.
However, the quantity is always transferred in base unit of measure to the
stock posting.
The BAdI can only be used for stock-relevant inspection lots. You can only
enter the quantities in other unit of measures manually (explicit call of
the input help).
You can implement new BAdI QEVA_ALT_QTY_INPUT using Transaction SE19.
Take also the documentation on the BAdI into account.
You can transfer the BAdI definition together with the respective
documentation using the assigned Support Package.

BEx Query: Attribute not display Unit of Measure (UOM)

In a BEx I am trying to create a query that displays attributes to 0EMPLOYEE. One of the custom attributes is the employee's rate of pay. We have the hourly rate, nightly rate, etc. This attribute is a numeric attribute with currency assigned as the Unit of Measure. I am trying to create a query displaying the pay rates from the attributes of 0EMPLOYEE but remove the unit of measure in the output. I am aware this can be done on key figures using the NODIM formula. How can I remove on an attribute?
Example: Output is $10.25 UOM. I want it to display as $10.25.
Thanks.

Hi,
Create a Formula Variable with Replacement Path for this Attribute.
Use NODIM function for the Formula Variable.
Let me know if it works according to your requirement.

Deliverable unit of measure (UoM) determination?

Hello,
I would like to know if SAP supports the following process:
Lets say we have a material of fluid (e.g. water), whose base unit of measure is Liter.
Lets also say that we have an STO to transfer 100 liter of water from one plant to another.
In the supplying plant, there are 500 bottles of 2 liter each, and 4 bottles of 20 liters each.
We would like the system to suggest in this case to deliver 4 bottles of 20 liter, and 10 extra bottles of 2 liter in order to supply the full quantity.
Is this a process that can be implemented in SAP standard? how?
How should the bottles in the supplying plant be represented?
Can the same material be in stock in different units of measure? or each "bottle type" should be a different material?
Thanks in advance,
Doron Oded
Edited by: Oded Doron on Nov 21, 2010 8:12 PM

Hi,
You will create a material for water with base UOM as litre. In alt UOM you can include bottle as a UOM. Also in material master in plant data storage 2 view the unit of issue shld be updated as bottle. Now whenever you are trying to issue system will propose bottle as UOM..
In this case you wud hav defined one bottle is ex 10 litres.
I am not sure how to maintain 40 litres bottle or son

Re:why unit of measure is changed in miro

Hi guru's,
My user has made a P.O. migo & miro, for the required material
P.O. unit is box
GR   unit is box
I.V    unit is changed to Pcs.
the alternate unit of measure maintained for the said material is Pcs & Box.
Can anybody advise me what to do to get the same unit as P.O. & Migo.
thanks
tuljasingh.

Order unit is the unit in which the material will be ordered to procure.
An alternative unit of measure that can be used for ordering purposes.
The purchase order price unit enables you to express the purchase order price in a unit that differs from the order unit.
Example
Ordered: 100 m2;    Price: $24.20 for 10 kg.
The order unit is m2. The purchase order price unit is kg.

Multiple units of measure (UoM) inventory 8.8

Anybody have any documentation on the multiple units of measure feature in 8.8. I have done the delta training but I can't see it in the current version I have installed (PL09).
Do I have to update to PL10 to get this feature? Does it not exist anymore? Or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Thank you for trying to help but unfortunately you are all not exactly correct on this...
I spoke to SAP and the functionality described in the 8.8 Delta video using strawberries as an example is misleading.
The new feature allows you to change Items Per Purchase Unit / Items Per Sales Unit on the document dynamically even if there are transactions to the item.
2007 and below locked the items per purchase / items per sales unit after a single transaction.
So the setup for this is NOT in the item master data it is a field called Items Per Unit in the marketing documents. The items per unit becomes the default but you can modify it for each document dynamically.
I made a simple dropdown list UDF and an FMS that allowed me to select different lengths and whatnot. And the FMS would input the correct conversion rate into the Items Per Unit field.
So for a purchasing (in this case a purchase order) example we store this particular unit in metric tonnes but we occasionally buy it in 25kg bags / 2200kg totes, etc. For the 25kg bags each bag would be 0.025 metric tonnes (mt). So when the dropdown says 25kg bag, the FMS inputs 0.025 in the items per unit field. Then when we say 100 bags, it would put them into inventory at 100 (qty) * 0.025 (items per unit) = 2.5 mt. In this case we inventory the item in metric tonnes and sell it in metric tonnes so it's a simple example only on the purchase side.
The only caveat to this is that the price doesn't dynamically change with the items per unit, but you could either make an FMS for that as well, or simply type it in manually.
This is for 8.8 ONLY not 2007.
There is no real documentation or training on this currently but I have confirmed this with SAP and used it in the system.
Hope this helps,
Mike

Why will my units of measure not change

I have an old ai file created in CS5 and am opening in CS6 is comes in with cm even though I have changed the units of measure with the file open and also with no files open. Yet every time I open the file it is still in cm. Any ideas?

Hi Jacob,
Tried that already no go. Have tried changing with no documents open, with documents open saved as CS6. All my other files seem fine but this one will not update.
Thanks

Unit of measure - rounding off during creation of planned order

Dear All,
We have defined one material OIL in MM41 and its UoM is EA also we have put alternative UoM is L(liter).
now we create BOM of semifinished material we use this oil as a component and enter its value in decimal points.
e.g 0.375 EA
During planned order creation or REM backflush system convert this quantity to 1 EA ,WE dont want this automatic conversion .
We have uploaded all master data in production and now it is very difficult to change all BOM
So what is the solution of this that system can not convert qty (rounding off).EA
Kindly reply
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
IN CUNI Transaction Field Decimal Places is for displaying the decimals,there is a decimal place Rounding off field below,there try to maintain 3 decimals and check whether it is working.
One more thing is Unit EA will be used always as non decimal unit,But i dont know in your buisness how for unit EA there is a decimal qty

Unit of Measure(UOM) for PO and Packing

Dear all,
we have got issue about UOM for Purchase order and Packing.
When we create PO with vendor then we use UOM is set for example: sofa.
but when we GR from Vendor the storekeeper check artice follow UOM is Set. (packing).
pls help us

Dear,
Basing on your post - your stock keeping unit is SET.
Purchase order is SOFA.
Go to material master and maintain basic UOM as SET and Order unit as SOFA.
Whenever you are raising PO using this material, the PO UOM will be SOFA. Maintain the conversion factors if applicable.
One more way in PR - Source of supply tab you can mention purchase organization and order unit as SOFA (this wihthout making changes in material master). But everytime create PR indentor has to pay attention towards this entry.

Syed Hussain.

Extrude Depth Unit of Measurement: Can you change it?

When using the Bevel and Extrude function in Illustrator, can the unit of measurement be changed to inches instead of points?
Doesnt appear to be possible.

You can type "in" after the number and AI will convert inches to points.

Conversion of Unit of Measure in ALV Grid

Hi all,
I am using function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' to display some records in ALV grid. The record displays material, the quantity of the material consumed and the unit of measure (UoM) of the quantity. I am fetching the data from the table AUFM and the field I am using for UoM is ERFME.
The problem is that when the UoM is displayed in the ALV, it is displayed as KAR but when i print the report or check the print preview, the UoM is displayed as CAR. I want to display CAR also in the ALV.
I have tried using the function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT' which converts the KAR to CAR in the ALV, but when I print it or check the print preivew , it shows asterisks (*) in the UoM field.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can solve this problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Hamza

Hi Ozkar,
I tried the function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT', it worked fine when displaying the UoM in the ALV, meaning it displayed CAR instead of KAR, but when I printed the list or chicked the print preview, it displayed stars (***) in the UoM field.
Anyway, I tried something else and now it is working fine. I am writing below what I did so that if anyone else has this problem, they can also do what I did.
As I said before, the UoM field was showing KAR instead of CAR in the ALV. So after passing the data to an internal table which would be used to display the data in the ALV, I called the function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT' and converted KAR to CAR. this displayed CAR in the ALV.
Now, to also get CAR in the print out and print preview,I declared variables gt_event_exit and lt_event_exit.
DATA: gt_event_exit TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF slis_event_exit,
           lt_event_exit TYPE slis_event_exit.
The variable will 'lt_event_exit' will contain the function codes of the Print(&RNT) and Print Preview (&RNT_PREV) buttons on the ALV. In the form where I am calling the function 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY', I pass the function codes to lt_event_exit and append it to the internal table gt_event_exit.
lt_event_exit-ucomm = '&RNT'.
lt_event_exit-before = 'X'.
APPEND lt_event_exit TO gt_event_exit.
lt_event_exit-ucomm = '&RNT_PREV'.
lt_event_exit-before = 'X'.
APPEND lt_event_exit TO gt_event_exit.
Next I pass this table to the parameter 'IT_EVENT_EXIT' of 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'. I also create a form USER_COMMAND and pass this form to the parameter 'I_CALLBACK_USER_COMMAND' of 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' as shown below.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
   EXPORTING
             I_CALLBACK_USER_COMMAND = 'USER_COMMAND '
             IT_EVENT_EXIT                          = gt_event_exit
What the above does is that, when a user clicks on the print or print preview button, the system instead of printing the list, it passes the control to the form USER_COMMAND. After the form is processed, it prints the list.
In the form, I placed a loop on the internal table containing the data to be shown and simply converted the CAR back to KAR. The code is given below.
FORM user_command USING r_ucomm LIKE sy-ucomm
                          rs_selfield TYPE slis_selfield .
    CASE r_ucomm .
      WHEN '&RNT' OR '&RNT_PREV'.
        LOOP AT i_final .
          CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_INPUT'
             EXPORTING
               input = i_final-erfme
               language = sy-langu
             IMPORTING
               output = i_final-erfme
             EXCEPTIONS
               unit_not_found = .
          MODIFY i_final.
        ENDLOOP.
   WHEN .
   WHEN OTHERS.
    ENDCASE.
I hope this is helpful to anyone who has the same problem as I did. Now what I cant figure out is why the system automatically converts KAR to CAR when displaying print preview or when printing the list.
Well, thanks anyway for the suggestion Ozkar.
Regards,
Hamza

Adjusting the behavior of sales unit of measure on sales order

Hello Everyone,
I have a question regarding adjusting the behavior of sales unit of measure (UOM) on sales order (SO).
We maintain 3 UOM on material master u2013 A, B, C; where A is base UOM and C is sales UOM.
If we change the material on existing sales order in VA02, system also always changes the UOM on SO to C as well because C is sales UOM on material master. Sometimes SO quantities are in A or B UOM and we do not want system to change them to C when material is updated.
We know it is a standard SAP behavior and the question is if it can be adjusted somehow (in configuration or some other way), so system is not changing the UOM on existing SO to sales UOM when material is updated.
PS if we leave sales unit of measure field in material master blank, when material on SO is changed system is still changing the UOM, now to the base UOM A
Thank you!
Alex

ANSWER: According to SAP there is no way to change the behavior without taking the risk of breaking a lot of stuff.
