SOP: MA-501 conversion into base unit error

Dear All
I am using flexible planning and at the time of transfer to Demand Management through MC90 i am facing the following Express document error
Update was terminated
Update key...   C96200E1E440F1798829001A64D28E46
Generated....   27.10.2011, 11:14:32
Completed....   27.10.2011, 11:14:33
Error Info...   MA 501: Not possible to convert from TO
However the Base unit of Measure of my Material is TO - Tonne and InfoStructure unit is also TO. I am unable to understand if Base unit of measure is same as planning unit, why system is throwing conversion error in express document.
Kindly help me out in solving this problem.
Regards

Hi,
Please check
1) The Base unit of measure maintained for the info strucuture in MC7F. If that is matching with material master then check the unit for the key figure in MC23 as per SAP Note 95132.
2) If the unit of measure in MC7F for the info structure is different then try to maintain alternative unit of measure concept in the material master.

Conversion of Base units

Hello BPC Gurus,
Is there any posibility to convert Base Units in BPC 7.5 Nw version? For example I have base units in Kg,Pieces,Liters . If I want to convert Kg into liters or Liters Into KG or Liters into pieces or vice versa.
I have heard that we have to use ABAP programming for conversion of above stated Base units(Kg,Pieces,Liters). Please let me know how to use ABAP Programming in BPC.
Thanks in advance.
With regards,
Anand Kumar

Hi Anand,
You can convert units of measure using script logic or a script logic BADI (ABAP). For lots of examples of BADIs, you can look at the BPC NW How-To guides on the SDN wiki.
You could also conceivably use the currency conversion functionality of BPC to manage conversion of units of measure but it is not really optimized for that use case and you would probably need to choose to use if for either UoM conversion or currency conversion. Using the currency conversion for both purposes is very problematic.

Requistion and Purchase Order - base unit and order unit

People,
I have a basic doubt in MM:
I have a Requisition with a item using the base unit, for instance 20 litres.
When I create a Purchase Order in ME21N passing the requisition and item number, I must be converted to the order unit, correct?
In this case, we have 1 UN (order unit) corresponds to 20Liters (base unit).
I did believe the Purchase would be converted to 1 UN, but I got 20 Liters.
What is correct?
Thanks a lot!

If you maintian the order unit in the mateiral master purchaisng screen than whenever you create the PO system will convenrt in to that order unit and in the Po item details you will see the conversion of base unit to order unit.
now suppose you have more than one order unit than you activate the Variable order unit in the material master and maintiqan the conversion of that and create the diff info record for diff order unit based on the vendor so whne oyu create the PO as per the vendor system will pull the order unit in the PO.
Hope this will give you clear picture.

Conversion of Order Unit to Base Unit

Hi Friends,
How to set the conversion of Order Unit to Base unit.
The scenario is like this. Purchase order is made in Rolls but the stocking will be in meter. I my case, when the GR is made in meter, the rolls should be multiplied by 65. Instead the system is dividing the rolls by 65 meters which is wrong.
I want to correct same, but dont know where to do.
Kindly guide me to correct this.
TIA.
Regards,
Mark K

Hi Mark,
You can only change the base units of measure under the following circumstances
No stocks are available for the material.
There are no existing purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.
At present, no purchase orders or purchase order items are being created or changed.
If requests for quotations, purchasing info records, or contracts are available for a material, the system emits a warning while changing base unit of measure. Still if you want to change unit of measure specify in a dialog box the factor for converting the base unit of measure into the new base unit of measure. The purchasing info records are then, if necessary, updated.
As system is not allowing changing base unit of measure there will be either stock of this material or existing purchase document
1) If there are stocks in the previous period, you can clear them as follows:
a) Post the stock in the previous period to the current period (for example, using movement type 561) so that the stock for the previous period is the same as the stock for the current period.
b) Clear the stock with the posting date in the previous period (for example, using movement type 562).
2) If there are Open purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.
We suggest completing all P2P cycle for open orders (purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements) and then close it.
Then
1. Run Trnx MM02 (Change Material Master immediately.
2. Overwrite the old base unit of measure with the new one in basic data screen.
3. Save the change.
Reward points for helpful.

Base Unit Of Measurement error

Dear Sir \ Mam,
Our some materials base unit of measurement is in KG, and we want to make bills, excise RG1 entry in KG for milligram sales or material transfer. How to go for such transaction, system is not allowing for such transactions.
Pls Note : We can't create two separate materials code for these UOM issue materials.
Requesting a help.
Regards,
Randhir Padwal

Hi,
As per my understanding you have base unit in KG and you want to material issue and sales in miligram unit. If this is requirement then you may try to assign "sales unit" for material master in "sales:sales org1" view. you have to also give the conversion rate from KG to miligram in additional data.
for issuing you have to maintain issue unit "miligram" in material master view "Plant data/stor1"

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.

Rate / MT
Rate / Mtr

X = (A-B)*B*0.02456

How to correct CIF error Base unit of measure does not exist?

Dear experts,
I'm trying to cif a location product with base unit of measure KG in R/3 and alternative unit of measure well maintained.
it gives me a CIF queue saying that
"Base unit of measure ZXX does not exist (Product 0000000000000XXXXXX has not been created)"
I do not understand why, the unit ZXX does not exist in the alternative unit of measure for any of the materials managed
I also checked CUNI table and ZXX is not there neither in R/3 or APO,
Thanks for your help
E

Looks like the Alternate UOM --Zxx is not maintained in APO.
2 ways to do this:
(1) program- RSIMPCUST
Re transfer all your UOM settings from R3 to APO
(2) Manual Maintenance in APO:
SPRO>SAP NETWEAVER>GENERAL SETTIGNS>Check UNits of Measurement
Thanks

Regarding Base Unit conversion to Unit of measure

Hi all ,
I have a Custom report which post the goods Issue .
The program uses tables mard and mska. In mard table fields used are mard-matnr, mard-labst,mard-Lagerort,mska-sobkz,mska-vbeln, mska-posnr,e mard-werks.
the program call mb1a for updating the data using Bdc .
<b></b>the problem is that the quantity of the stock is
shown only in the base unit of measure .. but some material have Alternative Unit of measure ... Its not taking Alternative Unit of measure ...
Any help is highly appreciated ..
Regards,
Amarnath Reddy.

Hi all ,
the program aim is to transfer the stock from the storage location with reference to order number from CO (cobl-aufnr).
In mard when i am able to c the unit of issue for the selected material number.
My question is in the report program sap is not looking for the unit of issue . It is only taking basic unit of issue ... Is there any way that program looks for the Unit of issue .

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.

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
