Unit Of Measue issue in Alternative Unit Of Measure

Dear All,
We have one issue regarding material volume which is having Base Unit Of Measure as 'L' - Litre.
Example: one material AAA is having BUoM as 'L' but this material volume is .002 M3. This value we can maintain in Basic Data but we are unable to maintain the same conversion in Alternative Unit Of Measue as 2 M3 - 1000 L.
When we are entering this value, by default - system is picking 1 M3 - 1000 L which is coming from T006 table - SI Unit of Conversion .
So how can i resolve this issue and what should i do to maintain 2 M3 - 1000 L.
Regards,
Durga Sana

Hi Srinath,
Thanks for your reply.
The same thing has been checked in CUNI there the standard conversion is maintained as follows..
1 KL = 1 M3 , 1 L = 0.001 M3 and 1 M3 = 1 M3.
Which is we are able to see in T006 SI Unit of conversion table.
If i change this standard conversion to 1 KL = 1 KL and 1 L = 1 L that means we are removing the relation between liter and M3 combination. Is this change may impact in any other transaction?..
Regards,
Durga Sana...

  • Issue in Alternative unit of measure (MARM) update using MM17

    Hi,
    I have tried to update alternative unit of measure (MARM) for some materials using MM17.
    It is working for some unit of measures (Like FT).
    But if I try to changes the unit of Measure value for PLB (Counter & Denominator) or DLB it is changing for UNC, if UNC unit of measure is not there for that material then the UNC is getting created.
    But according to MM17 functionality I think PLB values should change.
    Please check and let me, if you have any solution or any one faced the same issue.
    Thanks

    Hi Sham,
    Your problem could be caused by wrongly assigned ISO codes to the  unit of measures involved. Most probably to these unit of measures   the same ISO code is assigned. This leads then to problems in the ALE interface of the material master, which is used too by the mass maintenance transaction MM17.
    There only the ISO-code is given  and then the System doesn't know the correct unit of measure, which     
    should be used. So it is possible, that the change is done for a  wrong unit of measure.
    Please check for this your customizing in transaction CUNI.

  • LSMW - Alternative Unit of Measurement

    Hi,
    I'm dealing with something very very strange. 
    I'm trying to load the Alternative Unit of Measure for materials via a LSMW.
    I'm using the Standard Batch / Direct input Method
    Object               0020   Material master
    Method               0000
    Program Name         RMDATIND
    Program Type         D   Direct Input
    We need to have the conversion L & GAL and KG & LB.
    GAL & LB are loaded as first.  (This goes in very smoothly). These values are calculated with density.
    Afterwards I load L & KG. So I'm using the function DIMENSIONCHECK_CONVERTABLE to calculate the converted versions.
    So 90% loads like this, without any problem.  But 10% of it goes wrong... When I check try to load this manually with exactly the same number I calculated, I can save the material without any issue.  When I'm using the Job I get following issue: The alternative units of measure are inconsistent.
    How is this possible? And how can I solve this issue without doing it manually?
    Thanks!

    Hi Prasad
    In the Material Master - Sales org.1 view you have a field called Sales Unit.
    there you give the desired UOM and press Enter then you will get a pop up for Conv.factors:Unit of measure, here you have to give the Conversion of the Material UOM to Sales UOM.
    Ex. Material Measure is PC and Sales Measure is BOX
    You need to specify How many peacies will BOX consist of
    like 10 PC = 1 BOX like that you have to give in the Popup

  • Alternative unit of measure issue in PP in Food industry

    Hi,
    I want clarification regarding alternative units
    here sales order unit is master cartons,,
    production people will produce in pieces,,
    we are applying 40 strategy here,,,,
    so based on master cartons,,MRP will give planned orders in master cartons i think,, when we convert it into process order it should be in pieces. (can we get this by entering prod unit---PC,,,in work scheduling view)
    i want to enter Yield in pieces in confirmation field,,, and i want to do GR in master cartons ...
    is it possible to maintain production order qty in one unit and GR in other unit?
    plz suggest me...
    Edited by: sathishreddy on Dec 23, 2010 12:31 PM

    production order qty in one unit and GR in other unit?
    Not possible
    create a BUOM as carton for the material
    and Production unit as PC
    when you do GR system will take in PC
    But when u see in MMBE or MB52 system will show in Carton only

  • Creation of Inspection lot in Alternative Unit of measure

    Dear Guru,
    Our implementation is going on in a Tube manufacturing company where Base Unit is maintain  in KG & 100 % visual inspection is taken place & we accept or reject tube on Pieces. So how can we do this in SAP, Because in SAP Inspection Lot is created on Base Unit & UD (Stock Movement) also in base unit, How can we in corporate Alternative Unit of measure.

    Hi,
          1. give unit of conversion in MM basic data (Unit of measurement) say 1 kg = 10 pieces
           2. add unit of issue as a Pieces in MM QM view
            3. add in inspection paln Unit of measure as Pieces ( if possible )
    Now during stock posting  post the stock KG  and now see in stock MMBE by changing the UOm as a pieces you will get the stock in pieces and you can now issue the material in pieces too.
    Experts pl guide if i am wrong anywhere

    Hi,
    A material is maintained with EA as Base unit of measure and alternative unit of measure is maintained as 100m=1 EA. when MRP  is run, the requirement appears in EA and not meteres.

  • GR IN ALTERNATIVE UNIT OF MEASURE

    Dear Friends,
    I want to know report for GR of production order in alternative unit of measure for a specific day.
    Plz help me
    Thanks
    KK

    Hi,
    There is ni standard report in SAP for this.
    As for the GR, this cannot be changed, you can disply stock in L or EA in many reports and transactions (MMBE and the physical inventory transactions can all be in either UOM for instance) but the main UOM for stock is the UOM defined on the issuing UOM on the plant / storage view of the material master. Or use MB51with movement type.
    Or try report 'SAPMUNIT' from SE38

  • Basic Unit of Measure & Alternative Unit of Measure ?

    How to configure basic and alternative unit of measure(UOM) for a material ?
    If   KG - basic UOM
        Mtrs - Alternative UOM
    Here we procure material (GR, PO) with basic UOM, no prob with this system ill pick basic UOM automatically.
    and if we need to make GI with Alternative UOM ?
    How to configure the above scenario ?
    thankq

    Hi,
    As you procure material (GR, PO) with basic UOM(KG) and you want to make GI in Mtrs - Alternative UOM.
    Go to MM02 , enter your material{( you must have UOM(KG) } and select view of “General Plant data/Storage 1” and in  “unit of issue” field enter meter, then system will ask you to enter conversion factor  Mtrs  to KG. Enter your conversion factor and save.
    Now try ur transaction.

  • How to make system consider Alternative unit of measure while creating BOM?

    Dear Experts,
    When creating a BOM, how do I make the system consider the alternative unit of measure if at the point of creating the BOM, I decide to use  the  component material  alternative unit of measure? The scenario is as follows:
    Header
    Material code is TK677, Base Unit of Measure is Litres.
    Components:
    Material code is RT677, Base Unit of measure is Litres.
    Material code is RV677, Base Unit of measure is Kilogram.
    When formulation is done in the laboratory, the components are weighed and measured in percentage weight. For example, 20% for first component (RT677)  and 80% (RV677) for the second component.
    To depict this, I maintain an alternative unit of measure of Kg  in the Material Master of RT677, and maintain the conversion factor (100kg = 116Litres) so as to enable me use Kg as unit of measure for material RT677 when creating the BOM.
    When creating the BOM, I enter Kg as unit of measure for material RT677, but gets the system error message ''Unit of measure KG not supported for material RT677 in plant NG00
    Message no. 29175''
    What do i need to do as I have already maintained Kg as alternative unit of measure? or which other better way should i handle this issue?

    Thanks a lot for your reply, it worked, it allowed me to create the BOM using Kg for component RT677. But the new challenge i am now facing is that when I try to create a process order copyiing this BOM, it gives me the same unit (Kg) for component RT677 whose base unit of measure is Litres.
    I actually want the process order to copy the BOM and use Litres  for component RT677 based on the conversion factor which I have maintained in the Additional Data window of the material master.
    The reason is that, the formulation done in the lab is measured in percentage weight, but this component weight is now scaled up to Litres when the component is pumped into the Blending Vessels as specified in their Blending Instruction.
    Please how do I ensure that when the master recipe is copied during creation of the Process Order, that the unit of measure will be the base unit of measure (Litres) despite the fact that I have used the alternative unit of measure (Kg) for this component during creation of the BOM.  
    Thanks

  • Issue: Proportion/produciton unit of measure NO is invalid for item 900001.

    Hi All,
       Issue: Proportion/produciton unit of measure NO is invalid for item 900001.
    Here we have MTO Scenario: In outbound delivery when we do batch split & batch determination we are getting the above error.
    Consider the following settings: at MM01 - Prodution/Proportion unit data is maintained with a characterstic specific to batch. Means Batch specific unit of measurement. In Work scheduling view produciton unit, unit of issue are maintained as 'NO'. All these settings  are same for all material codes.
    Please suggest us why we are getting the issue for perticular material coce.
    Info: We resolve the issue by adding one more line item in the sales order & do the transfer posting the stock from line item to line item. But this is not the permanent solution.
    Regards
    Chowdary

    I believe the error message no is VL 382 (Proportion/product unit of measure & invalid for item &)
    You need to double click on the error message flashing on the status bar to get the error number.
    I believe long text for the error message is self explainatary. Refer it and make necessary changes to resolve the issue.
    Diagnosis
    You want to use a proportion / product unit for an item.
    You are not allowed to change the unit of measure into a proportion / product unit if:
    - The following exist for a sales document item:
    Preceding documents
    Subsequent documents
    - You are processing a scheduling agreement for the component supply industry
    - You change the target unit of measure in a scheduling agreement item (and the sales unit is not a proportion / product unit)
    - You are processing a customer requirements plan
    - The following exist for a delivery item:
    Preceding documents
    Subsequent documents
    Batch split items
    - You are processing a batch split item
    Procedure
    Use a different unit of measure.
    If you want to change the target unit of measure into a proportion / product unit in a scheduling agreement item, you need to change the sales unit accordingly. The system then sets the target unit of measure to the same as the sales unit.
    Further, if you are working on older version, refer SAP Note 364206 - VLSP:indic.for proportion/product quantities deletd.
    Regards
