Unit of Measure in material master

Hi
I have a Raw material consider (Forging) for which material master is maintained "PC" as Base unit of Measure. I have defined in Additional Unit of Measure as 500 KG = 1 PC. Also my order unit is also maintained as PC.
Here when they procure castings they order it as 1 PC only. But when the actual material comes there may be some variation in weight. The client wants to make payment on actual weight basis only .
Also stock keeping unit and issue of material is done as PC only.
Please guide me how to address this issue.
Regards
Kumar.

Hi
With the existing master data you can acheive your requirement.You can maintain the price in info record in Kgs or in PO Item conditions tab you can maintain the price per kg.
while doing the miro please enter the actual quantity in<b> Qty in PO price unit</b> in Quantity tab ans save the GR.When you do MIRO, system will propose Qty as 1PC and value as <b>Qty in PO price unit X Price per kg</b> maintained in PO.Please try this solution.

Met problem to change unit of measure in material master

Our prime made mistake when creating material master with MM01. He used wrong unit of measure EA instead of right one M. And when he recognized this issue and tried to change it with MM02 in view Basic1, system prompt him an error message that "Standard cost estimates for the current period already exist".
So, please help to let me know how can I delete related records about cost estimates and avoid this error. Thanks a lot.

Robbie,
You can delete Cost estimates using T-code: CKR1 , I am not sure if you can change UoM if you have any goods movements on the material. The best option would be create new material with correct UoM and transfer stock from old Material to New one with proper Conversion.
Thanks

Changing the Unit of Measurement in Material Master

Dear Experts,
Material DF21DENG (fert) was created with KGS (kilogram per second) as its unit of measurement. A material BOM was now created for DF21DENG.
I intend to change the unit of DF21DENG from KGS to KG (kilogram). On doing this in the Basic data view of DF21DENG, i get the message " change is not possible because a BOM exists for this material".
In the BOM of DF21DENG, I set the deletion flag on & tried to change the unit in the Material master again but got the same massage.
Please how can I effect this change?

This response was helpful but was solved the problem was that; from the Edit, i selected Delete from the drop down & then the alternative BOM was deleted.

Unit of Measurement in Material Master

Hello Experts...
I have an intresting issue on Unit of Measurement. I would like to maintain alternative unit of measurement as per below..
1 EA = 1 EA
1 ROLL = 5000 EA
1 CT = 150,000 EA
However the field UMREZ length in the material master allows me to enter upto 5 digits...and also it is not possible to enter decimal digits here.
Have any one of you faced this kind of issue, if any one faced what would be the solution for this...?
Look forward to hearing from you..
Cheers
Umakanth..

Hi Umakanth,
For increasing the numerator for conversion of base unit of measure, UMREZ would be appending the structure SMEINH by requesting Access Key from SAP.
Even though its not a suggestible decision to append standard SAP structure , if the requirement demands we may need to do that.
Cheers!

Unit of measure in Material Master after PO's created

Hello Everyone,
I know that we can't change the material measure unit once PO's and other documents are created.
What can I do with the PO so i can change the material measure unit?
Thanks in Advance.

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.

Update info record when changing units of measure in material master

Hello,
is there any possibility for an automatic change of info record when changing conversion factors in the material master ?
We have 3 units of measure in our material master: the base unit and 2 alternative units. The first alternative unit is the order unit and the second alternative unit is the order price unit. So in our purchase info records we maintain an order unit, which differs from the base unit and we also maintain an order price unit, which differs from the base unit and the order unit.
If we now change the conversion factors between the units in the material master, we would like to get an automatic change of the converions in the info record (to order unit and order price unit), which have the same previous conversions.
For IS R it seems to be implemented (see OSS-Note 975954).
Is there any solution for a "normal" industry system ?
Thanks for answering
Edited by: Britta Heinsen on Jul 23, 2009 1:52 PM

I don't think such an auto update is available. Infact I came to know that such an update is available in IS-R after reading your query.
Obviously you an always create a workflow based enhancement that can synchronize the Info-records and material master changes or sort of enhancement which regularly reads the material master change history for such changes and trigger a synchronization by executing change Info-record automatically.

Error while defining alt unit of measurement in material master

All SAP gurus,
i am trying to define a alt unit of measurement in a finished material, the base unit of measurement is in MT, and the sales unit is nos. the conversion formula is 53 nos = 1kg i.e. 1MT = 53000 nos. as conversion can be done only with base unit of measurement i am giving 53000 nos = 1 MT, but system unable to calculate the conversion as it is not taking mere than 3 digit after decimal.
e.g. if 53000 nos = 1 MT
then 1 nos should be = 0.000018 MT
but system not taking this value as this value contain 6 digit after decimal
suggest me what can be the way out? with detailed steps. can i increase the post decimal value or i have to define another middle alt unit of measurement (like KG). and if that is to be done then how.
Regards
BKR

Hi,
With help of Basis team check the decimal places for u r user ID.

Changing Base Unit Of Measure in Material Master

Dear All,
We need to change the base unit of measure of certain materials who have been assigned inspection plan. We have deleted the material from Inspection Plan and later even the plan. But still the system not allowing to change the BASE UNIT OF MEASURE. The error thrown by the system is : Material is assigned to inspection Plan.
Please guide in this regard as changing the material for us will be a very cumbersome act.
Regards

Hi Rohan,
Please check 'display errors' in MM02 when you are trying to change the BUoM. It will say what prevents you from doing that.

Alternate unit of measure for service master

Dear all
I have same service but different unit of measure like hr, day, month, pls explain how make alternative unit of measure in service master?

Hello,
I am afraid I must confirm that the system is working in this way...
It is not possible to define an alternative unit of measure in the service master in R/3.
If you want to create a purchase order with another unit of measure, you have to create a seperate service master with this unit of measure.
Thanx & Sorry

Change for Unit of measure in condition master

Hi, gurus..
I want to know this is SAP error or not..
I created condition for material H20.
H20     70500 usd per 1 SET
and edited the unit of measure in addtion of material master record.
1 EA - 1EA
1 SET - 6 EA
then I create SO in VA01 with line item
H20   1EA   ...
but condition record showed me a wrong value..
H20    11774 usd per 1EA...
70500 / 6 = 11750 usd..Why 11774...??
So, I changed the condition for more test..
H20 11750 usd per 1EA...
After input line item in VA01.
H20 1 Set...
then condition was 70500 usd per 1 SET ..Right result..
I tried it on other system ( Best Practices 1606) once more but result was same.
This is SAP ERROR ??? or not..
Plz..give me your ideas..

Dear Kim,
this error will come due to conversion factor at sales order level .kindly check in the item level how the conversion factor will take the system and also try to change the Quantity and check once again. this will come rare case , if you want to check the conversion error ,debug at the sales order level . for your reference I am attachment the conversion factor path .
Regards,

Base unit to change in material master

we assigned base unit of measurement to one of our material code say KM and after that we created routing .When we come to know that base unit is wrong and instead of KM base unit required was KG then we delete routing for the material.After that when i tried to change base unit of meas. in mat master system is giving me error
Routings already exist that are assigned to the material.
   RType RtgGrp   GpC Plant
   N     50013509 1   UHVC
I want to know how it is possible?
Is there anything remain?

If SAP tells you that you have routing, and even shows which one, then oyu have not really deleted it.
BOM Deletion - Transaction CS02, open the BOM header view and select menu "Material BOM > Delete.
Routing Deletion - Transaction CA02, select the routing overview button and select the routing line to be deleted, press the deletion button.

Ordering unit in Purchasing the Material master

Dear all,
We have 2 material codes for same material e.g.
1. ABC --- having Base unit 'EA' & no ordering unit defined in the master. stock - 100nos
2. PQR --- having base unit 'EA' , but ordering unit is 'KG' in the purchasing view. + additinal data - Unit of measure is defined as 1 EA = 1 EA & 1 KG = 1 EA. stock -60kg.
Both materials having stock in the system. We want to use 'PQR' code only.
How to issue PQR material in 'EA' against production order ?
It is coming in 'KG' unit.
Have I to remove/change ordering unit in additional data ?
i.e. e.g. 1KG = 400 EA.

How to issue PQR material in 'EA' against production order ?
It is coming in 'KG' unit.
unit for goods issue is an extra unit and has nothing to do with order unit.
You can change/remove the goods issue unit in material master storage location view
Have I to remove/change ordering unit in additional data ?
i.e. e.g. 1KG = 400 EA.
select the alternative unit and click the button for line deletion below the overview

Error when changing unit of Issue in material master

Hi,
When i am trying to change Unit of issue in Qualitymanagement view of a material using MM02 transaction, we got error message - "The unit of issue cannot be changed because the material is used in a BOM-------Mesage no. M3214"
Can anyone suggest what is the reason behind this. ?. how to avoid this error.
Thanks in advance.

HI Aditya,
"The unit of issue cannot be changed because the material is used in a BOM-------Mesage no. M3214"
The reason is that material is used as a component in BOMs with the present unit of issue as a unit in the bom line item.Unless you change that bom line item unit to its base unit ,system will not allow you to change the unit of issue in QM.
First check in which BOMs the material you were changing is used as a component.this you can do in transaction CS15.
then change the unit of measure used for the material in bom line item to base unit of measure.if one only one BOM is there change in CS02.if more BOMS are there do mass change in CS20.
Then try to change the unit o fissue.now system will allow you to do the changes.

Default costing lot size and price unit as 100 in material master

Hello,
The costing lot size and price unit is "1" by default in material master. Due to this in CK11N the costing lot size is coming as 1.
Then we go to MM02 and change the master by making costing lot size as 100 and price unit as 100.
Please advise how can we make this default as 100 instead of 1 in material master. So that everytime we don't need to change.
Is it coming from BOM?
Please suggest.
Regards,
Tapan

Hi Tapan
No doubts, it is ABAP's responsibility to develop it.. It requires ABAP code to be written
The functional specifications need to be given by you.. This BADI is called during Mat Master Creation/Change.. Your Func Specs should cover
1. Which Mat types it should be used for
2. The costing lot size and price unit to be defaulted...
I used it to check Plant = Profit Center and it worked... For whatever checks and validations required during Mat Master creation, this badi needs to be used
