Unit of measure missing for LagDuration in ES for Project Network Activity?

Hello,
I just tried the Enterprise Service "Read Project Activity" (ProjectProcessingManageProjectIn) from ESM ERP 604 in the ES workplace. The field LagDuration in the NetworkRelationship consists of only a number, but no unit of measure. I changed the unit from Hours to Seconds via the Web Portal and watched the results of the Service: the number did not change although one hour should result in different lag time than one second. IMHO the unit of measure is missing in the service definition. Or am I getting something wrong?
Regards,
Uwe.

It is even worse: There are several duration fields in the "Manage Project In" Service Interface (e.g. Activity BaseDuration). In the responses these fields always contain a naked number (no unit of measure). In the WSDL these fields are of type "Duration" which has a pattern restriction of "PnYnMnDTnHnMnS" - not an int type! In a request if you pass e.g. "PT20M" (which is a valid Duration according to the samples) you will get a nasty parse error. Can anybody explain? Has anybody worked around this issue?

Unit of Measure missing in Shopping Cart

Hi all,
Currently, we have implemented BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER to map Unit of Measure from z-table, based on shopper's backend system. The mapping is done successfully when it return to Shopping Cart (e.g. PAC (catalog UoM) -> PAK (backend system's UoM)).
When I am at "Step 2: Shopping Cart", I've tried to view Item details (click on Magnifier icon in 'Action' column), and I noticed that mapped UoM 'PAK' is still there. However, when I click on 'Check' button, I found that the following error message returned:
"Enter a unit of measure"
I am wondering why UoM will be missing, and I notice that when the time I click on 'Check' button, it went through to BADI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI of Method BBP_SC_CHANGE. I have checked import table IT_ITEM and found out that IT_ITEM-UNIT is missing.
Although I have put an breakpoint in Method BBP_SC_CHANGE, I discover that IT_ITEM-UNIT is missing ONLY when I click on 'Check' button from Item detail page above.
Is there any steps missing in config, or otherwise?
Many thanks.
Best regards,
Patrick

Hi Muthu,
Thanks for following up.
There is no 'Incomplete PO status', and what I can see in History is that (there are two line of messages):
- First message, "Follow-on Document Created";
- and second message, "Error in Process".
I have checked tcode CUNI (under Unit of measurement button with No Dimension from drop-down menu), UoM 'PAK' is exist with the following info:
- Internal Measurement Unit = 'PAK'
- Commercial = 'PAC'
- Technical = 'PAC'
- ALE/EDI --> ISO Code = 'PK' with Primary code checked
with the above, the Catalog Item's UoM is "PAC", when it comes to BAdI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER, table CATALOG_CONTENT has the UoM ISO code of 'PK', which mapped from Commercial 'PAC' based on CUNI config.
If I removed my code (bespoke table mapping) in the above BAdI, Internal UoM "PAK' is being picked up. When it returns to Shopping Cart, PO is still managed to be created.
Do you have any idea on this?
Many thanks.
Regards,
Patrick

Unit of Measures missing in Crystal XI

Crystal Reports XI fixpack 3.2.
I'm designing a crystal report that contains a distance field with a measurement and unit of measure. In bex the value displays correctly,eg. 104,000 KM. In crystal I have three options for my key figure: Value, formattted value and Unit.
The value field contains 104,000, the formatted value contains 104,000 KM and the Unit field should contain "KM" but it's empty.
I don't get anything from unit field for any of my data rows (about 100 rows returned).
Do I need to make some setting adjustment or something? Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Thanx,
er

Upon further review I noticed that the Unit dimension is being correctly populated when the value is a monetary amount. For example $100 CAD, the CAD is populated in the Unit dimension for this key figure. The distance measurements (all KM) don't have anything.
The UOM is present in both key figures in the bex query when run in Bex Analyzer.

Dual Unit of Measure and valuation problem in SAP for Diamond module

1. Handling of Dual Unit of Measure. In case if you take Diamond Jewellery, which is having Gold portion as well Diamond portion, we would like to keep UOM for gold portion as Grams and Carats for Diamond portion. As informed by our implementation team (Wipro), handling dual UOM for the same article seems to be not possible in SAP due to product limitations. As this feature is very basic for jewellery industry, we would like to know how SAP can address this business need in SAP.
2. We would like to show Gold & Diamond separately in Valuation for the same article, which is again seems to be product limitation.
As the above 2 issues are fundamental elements in our business, please look into the above issues and give us some solution immediately.
Regards,
M. Narasimha Rao
A.G.M - IT, Khazana Jewellery (Corporate Office)
Ph: 099401 20306

Mr.Rao,
Although I do not much about your business needs and the processes that you are configuring, this is what I understand from your explanations:
1. You design and make jewellery out of Gold and Diamonds. Here I believe that the designer would be knowing how much of Gold and Diamond will go into the making of a jewellery.
2. You would like to valuate the stock based on the gold/diamond gone into each. Each piece of jewellery is unique in itself as its contents may minutely vary for the gold content.
In such a situation, I would suggest considering configuring Variant Configuration. With this, you will be able to maintain different values of diamond/gold for each piece of jewellery at the time of Sales Order/Production Order/Prod.Order confirmation etc. Your manufacturing cost will be at actuals based on the consumption posted during the Prod.Order confirmation. Each piece of jewellery will be unique with few Material Masters.
Hope this helps.

Getting an error in CIF Inbound queue:"Only 0 decimal places are permitted for unit of measure PC"

Hi,
I am getting an error in CIF Inbound queue (function: CIF_ORDER_INBOUND_30A). The error text says "Only 0 decimal places are permitted for unit of measure PC".
Can anyone point out the solution to resolve this error? It would be a big help for me as I am new to APO and so getting difficult to find a clue for it.
Thanks.
Regards
Mansi

Hi Mansi,
Please check the cif queue you will get the order number from that order number you can find out material code. Then check the material master unit of measure in MM03 you have used some alternative unit of measure and system is unable to convert order to alternative unit of measure because of decimal setting. If you go to CUNI and check the unit if measure PC it is not permitted for decimal places. If you need decimal than change the UoMof Material and use diff UoM or allow the decimal for PC which is not good practice.

Risk in populating Unit of measure for commodity code (foreign trade) in ECC

We have recently implemeted product classification in GTS for the EU and US. We want to implement the transfer of tariff data from GTS to ECC via the standard GTS transactions /SAPSLL/SWN_RTR and /SAPSLL/SWN_RTR_R3.
Our compliance team is concerned about beginning to populate the unit of measure commodity code in ECC. I know this field is only visible when a supplementary unit is on the tariff number and is different than the base unit of measure on the material master. These additional units of measure must be configured in order for the XML tariff files to load properly.
One concern that has come up is the conversion of the base UoM to the new unit of measure from the tariff files. Are there other issues/risks I need to be aware of? My understanding is this unit is used only when reporting the products to the customs authorities.
I appreciate any guidance you can give me.

Hello Alison,
We implemented this, however, made an enhancement not to transfer the UOM to ECC. Our consultants are unable to clearly articulate the use of UOM in classification. I still have not have a complete grasp of UOM with classification. One thing we constantly run into, is job fails when external/internal UOM is not maintained during transfer of classification from GTS to ECC. Since we are not transferring UOM to ECC, we are now considering enhancement, so we do not have to maintain internal/external UOM from the files we receive from Customs Info. We have had a number of issues trying to figure out what to maintain as internal UOM for UOM sent by Customs Info. There is no ISO code to cross reference and makes it very difficult to figure this out.
Another thing that you need to be aware off - if you have products that is not classified in GTS and you have classification maintained in ECC, you can overwrite ECC values with blanks- the product master change/update date (for anything - not just classification) is picked up by the re-transfer job. We are currently making enhancements in the commodity code retransfer program, only to transfer when there is a value in GTS for classification.
I see Dave's message above " UoM is necessary for the calculation that supports your sourcing decisions as well as for your declarations to the authorities". I am really interested to understand the function of UOM in classification.

Padma

Unit Of Measure Conversion in the SNP Planning Book

I have a problem in (a copy of ) the standard SNP Planning Book 9ASNP94.
I often need to view data in different units of measure however, but would like to avoid having to set up multiple Planning Areas. I know how to change the Unit Of Measure on my User Settings and for specific Selection IDs however, the conversions only ever work for a single Location/Product combination. As soon as I select 2 Products, the Key Figures all revert back to the Planning Area UoM.
Is there anyway round this or do I have to create new Planning Areas? If so, what are the issues in running multiple Planning Areas - does this cause performance problems?

Hi
My feeling is when you do conversion on aggregated level(multiple products), if any of the product has UOM missing then you coversion fails on aggregted level.
It looks strange that UOM conversion looks fine when you do conversion on each product.
I suggest you to check whether the UOMs (that you want to convert)are updated correctly on each product on their repective location in the product master under UOM tab.
regards
Vijaya.

MB5B - Stock on posting date show in other Unit of measure

Dearl All,
Pls support me this case: I would like to see this report (MB5B - Stock on posting date) in other Unit of measure.
This report shows stock in Basic Unit only.
E.g
Material A, base unit = M, other unit = ROL
Report needs show stock in ROL.
How can I do that?
Thank you vry much!
Cao Huy.

Hi,
In your case, order unit as ROL and material basic unit of measure is M.
PO created only for the order unit ROL, and goods have received from the vendor based on the PO order unit.
So,this MB5B stock on posting date is displayed only the total stock received based on the received GR order unit qty .
stock also managed only ROL unit of measues. it is not possible to list based on the M stock unit.

thiru

Creation of New Base Unit of Measure

Hi Forum, does anyone have any detail on how to go about creating new units of measure and what to look out for? Any documentation would be appreciated.
I know the Tcode (CUNI) and to copy certain existing BuM's but was wondering about the ISO and whether i actually need to apply for this as we wont be using EDI with our Vendors. Any best practice or guidance to be aware of would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Dan

Generally, if you are creating new Uom same as like exisitng one and you are not using the EDI than you are file with ISO code but if you are planning to use EDI than you can search for ISO code on Google. If the Uom is standard other wise you have to use the exisitng which can match some percentage to your Uom

Rounding the order quantity in different Units of measurement

Hello Experts,
We need your suggestion to meet the below mentioned client's requirement.
There are around 200 SKUs in the consideration and three units of measure ( case, carton and pallet defined for them).We are looking for way to suggest the order qty based on multiples of the unit, case, carton & pallet Quantities.
The order will always be placed in base unit PC and system should suggest the best possible combination with a Pop Up message.
For example with this SKU
SKU Unit Case Carton Pallet
123456 1 12 144 8640
Customer ordered 10 units during the validation of that line pop up message should suggest 12 units. (1 case)
Customer ordered 5 units there should be no suggestion ( 5 units )
Customer ordered 130 units during the validation of that line pop up message should suggest 132 units. (11 cases)
Customer ordered 146 units during the validation of that line pop up message should suggest 144 units. (1 carton)
Customer orders 153 units during the validation of that line pop up message should suggest 156 units. (1 case + 1 Carton)
Suggestions needs to be able to round up or round down based on the closest combination multiple.
I have gone through the idea of roudning profile idea but need some more inputs as how to realize the same.
As one material can have requirement in all alternate units of measurement and we can assign one profile per UoM in Material master and the order quantity is not dependent on any specific customer group so how would the system recogine/derive the best possible combination in different cases for different UOM.
Pls provide your valable inputs.
Many thanks in advance.

I don't think thsi is possible with SAP Standard settings & you will have to apply a User Exit.
You ABAPer will have to develop a logic based on your requirements & then system can give a pop-up with best possible combination.
Thanks,
Jignesh Mehta

Conversion of alternate unit of measurement

Hi,
System will not allow to enter conversions of unit of measurements in decimal points. But is there any configuration or method, we can force system to accept conversions of unit of measurements in decimal points only? (For example 2.5kg = 1pc, base unit of measurement is 'PC' and alternate unit of measurement is 'KG')
Regards,
Sattuj

Hi,
For the given example of Alternate conversion you can use the following setting :
2.5 Kg = 1 Pc
Put the Values as :
25 Kg = 10 Pc
With this the objective of Decimal is achieved.
Please check the following posts for more info :

Create Characteristic with multiple units of measure

Hello Friends,
I want to create characteristic (CT04) which has multiple units of measure. At present a Characteristic is created with a single unit of Measure. I have to create characeristic and assign it in MIC. MIC specifications are customer dependent. Customer may give specifications in different unit of measure. While creating sales order, I am entering the specifications for characteristics, as material is created with varient.
I am creating Single Characteristic multiple times for different Unit of Measure and assigning it to the class.
Therefore according to the Customer requirment and his specifed Unit of Measure, that Characteristic is choosen having same UoM as of Customer.
Insead of doing this, Is it possible to assign multiple units of measure to single characteristic?
Waitng for reply!
Regards,
Kiran

Hi,
With Multiple Unit Of measures, I don't think its possible.
You can Use CHAR for characteristics, to Use.
Instead for Fixed Units. Let Marketing/sales Enter the req.
But you shall make it Multiple Selection, Since you can use them in Selection Condition.
Hope this is Useful.
