Unit of measure on Purchase requisition

Hello!
When I create a purchase requisiton with material master, the unit of measure comes closed, and I can't change it.
I tried to put in the material master more than one unit of measure, but the field on purchase requisiton still closed.
I tried to take off the obrigatory of the field "unit of measure" on the purchase requisition, and it doesn't work...
Somebody knows what can I do??
If are there some alternative?
Thanks!

Hi Camilla,
[You specify whether a material can be procured using differing order units of measure in the material master record or the purchasing info record.|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/75/ee0d5a55c811d189900000e8322d00/content.htm]

  • Alternstive UOM in Purchase Requisition

    We are maintaining two different UOM as Basic UOM and Purchase Order UOM. How can we populate Purcahse Order UOM in Purchase requisition also. As of now by default it is taking Basic UOM.

    OSS Note 20847 - ME51(N): Base unit of measure in purchase requisition:
    If you create a purchase requisition (Transaction ME51, ME51N), the base unit of measure will always be copied in the quantity unit field of the item (EBAN-MEINS) for an item with material number, even if you have maintained an order unit for the material in question in the material master.
    Reason and Prerequisites
    It is programmed this way (and not an error). The base unit of measure field from the material master (which is in MT06E-MEINS) is transferred to EBAN-MEINS.
    Solution
    There is none. This functionality has not been planned and will not be implemented in later releases either.

  • Unit of measurement in project system

    Hi Experts,
    Its relevant to PS module. Base unit of material is KG whereas sales unit is M2 and conversion is maintained between both. Now I am using sale unit (M2) while entering material componenets in project. Then I am raising PR, PO, GR in project and withdraw the material in sale unit M2. But system updates the report in KG (under purchasing data tab in project). When I get material report, system shows reqmt qty in M2 but received qty in KG. Its confusing and doesn' serve the reporting purpose. Can we do something so that received and withdrawn qty will appear in M2 (sale unit) rather than KG (base unit)?

    Hi,
    You inventory is maintain always in base unit of measure.
    You can maintain different unit in material master like,
    Order unit(Purchasing view) : - For Purchase Order
    Unit of issue(Plant data1) : - For issue material.
    You can see material stock in both unit of measure in MMBE.
    After enter material code you can see material stock, by changing material unit of measure you can also saw material stock in specific unit of measure.
    Maintain Order unit of measure in purchasing view and also active variable active unit( Enter 1 = active) in purchasing view

  • MATERIAL UNIT OF MEASUREMENT

    For one material type we are having unit of measure EA,Purchasing unit is KG.
    The stock keeping unit is EA.
    When the material is having recipt with excess or lower quantity the stocks at my storage location is appering in decimal.
    Regards
    Gopal.p

    Hi,
    I am not sure what you mean by excess or less.
    Pls check what is the conv factor you have set for EA = Kg
    since your procure in Kg and keep stock in EA. the decimal places could happen.
    Pls check.

  • Purchase Requisition - Unit Of Measure

    Hi,
    We have a business requirement whereby the customer would like to see requisitions showing the purchase order unit of measure from the PIR, and not the base unit of measure from the material master.
    SAP standard will not allow this nor is thee a plan to change this functionality in the near future.
    The standard solution gives the users issues as they are having to validate the ordering quantity and price in the requisition, as the system will not show nor calculate the correct ordering price.
    Does anyone know of a standard SAP user exit that could be manipulated to achieve this function?
    Thanks in advance,
    Cheers
    Craig

    Hi,
    Do you know of any standard BADI's, user exits etc that can be utilised within the requisition process that can be accessed?  I would like to use an exit to pull in the purchase order unit of measure from the PIR. (EINA-MEINS)
    Any help is greatly appreciated,
    Thanks in advance,
    Cheers Craig

  • Unit of measure in a purchase requisition

    I want to create a purchase order using a material with two unit of measure, base unit of measure and Order unit.
    I want use the Order unit in the purchase requisition but the system deletes this unit of mesure and sets the Base unit of measure.
    Anybody knows what can I try to use the Order unit of material in a purchase requisition?
    Thank you,

    Hi Ana,
    The Purchase Requisition always uses the 'Base Unit of Measure' maintained for a material in the Item Overview section.
    If you want to use an alternative 'Unit of Measure' you can specify this in the 'Source of Supply' tab in Item detail.  This will be the 'Unit of Measure' that is adopted into the PO when the PReq is converted.  You have to also make sure that you maintain conversion factors between your UOM's.
    Hope this helps,
    Ravelle

  • Purchase order unit of measure

    If my base unit of measure is Metres(M), and without changing the base unit of measure if i want the purchase order to pick up KG , where all do i have to do the settings like in config or Material master record. If its material master record, then where inside material master record.
    My proces here starts with PR ? So how should it be done that KG is picked up in PR also.
    Where are the settings for purchase order unit of measure done(UoM) ?

    hi
    Goto MM02
    Give the material and other required data
    select PURCHASING view
    In General data, next to ORDER UNIT there is a Variable Purchase Order Unit
    Check on that
    Activation of the variable purchase order unit.
    The information from the field in the material master record is adopted in the purchasing info record. In the purchase order and in the source list, you can enter an order unit that differs from the one in the purchasing info record.
    If you wish to specify a different order unit for a requisition, you must assign a source with a different order unit to the requisition.
    hope this will solve ur problem

  • Unit in purchase requisition

    Hi all,
    When I create a purchase requisition, the unit taken is unit of measure. I can not modify it, and use the order unit.
    When I do the purchase order based on this PR, the unit is the order unit. The order unit is well define in MM03 (display material) and ME13 (info record).
    I want to use the order unit in the PR. Is it possible and how ?
    Thanks for your help
    Regards.
    Mathieu

    Hi
    PR is an Internal Document....Ie) The users or User Department in your company are requisting the Purchase Department to arrange or Procure material or service for their purpose....that they will ask in UOM only.....they wont bother about or many cases not aware of the Order unit...
    So as per SAP Best Practice, the PR  will have only UOM...not Order unit...
    reward if useful

  • Unit of measure for stock , Goods issue , Purchase.

    Dear All Experts,
    How we can maintain different unit of measure for Stock, Goods Issue, Purchase?
    Regards,
    Sandeep.

    Hi,
    The UOM qualifies the quantity you enter on the
    purchase order line. This will default in if you entered an item number, if not enter
    a UOM of your choice using the List of Values.
    Please Refer the following links...hope it helps you....

  • Third party purchase unit of measure issue.

    Hi Friend,
    I have created sales order for third party process unit of measure in sales order is in Meter  qty is 3.7 mater.
    But PR & PO id created in the unit of measure Piece i.e. 3.7 pieces.
    GR is already done for qty 3 pieces. Now when user is trying to do GR for qty 0.7 pieces we are getting error message serial number management allows only whole number.
    How can I do GR for this. Also I want to know what setting I need to do to have PO in unit of measure M i.e. Mater.
    Thanks,
    Kiran

    Its all about your material master unit of measure.
    In Material master - Basic data 1 view - Base Unit of measure will be picked in PR.
    In Material master - Purchasing - order Unit  will be picked in PO (If blank, then base unit of measure)
    In Material master - Sales Organization 1 - Sales unit will be picked in Sales Order.
    And for your error message, please search in SCN, you will get many thread regarding the error.
    Regards

  • Batch specific unit of measure - Purchase order history correction

    I have maintained an alternate proportional unit for a material.  This alternate unit is used as the order price unit in the purchase order.  I have created a batch characteristic which is linked to this proportional unit of measure. I have also created a Master inspection characteristic which is linked to this batch characteristic.
    I want to correct the purchase order history using quality management by transaction code MWBQ.  However, when I perform transaction MWBQ, the inventory is reduced to zero and entire amount is posted to price difference account after correction. Hence, my inventory value becomes zero after MWBQ. I cannot maintain the proportional unit at standard price since this is a raw material.  Need a solution on how to post correction in purchase order history without actualy making the inventory zero and with moving average price.

    Thanks for caring!
    As for transaction MMBE it all looks fine. So basic definitions must be OK up to that point.
    I think the point is to set requirement for the amount of active ingredient.
    Do the batch determination for this.
    Do the goods issue in physcial quantity which is the base unit of measure.
    I did try now with KG in the BOM. I still get  double items in the process order. Now both in KG.
    One line is correclty copied.
    The incorrect line which is the same in both cases says 1 KG. which is the correct conversion from  0,01KAI.

  • Import Purchase Requisitions from one Operating Unit to a different Operati

    The need is to import Purchase Requisitions from one Operating Unit to a different Operating Unit.
    There are 2 operating unit with one inventory orgs in each. But the 1st is OU( It is a club) merely creates Purchase Requisition, and its not a advisable process to have a separate Purchasing process in that OU as it is too small ( but for financial reasons it has to be defined as a separate OU). So we want the Purchase Requisitions created in the 1st OU to be imported in the 2nd OU. Is there any way we can achieve this. Note: Since Order Management is not implemented we cant use the Internal customer setup and we wont like the PO to be created in the 1st OU as we do in standard Intercompany invoicing process.
    Any solutions/Pointers/workaround for this.
    Regards,
    Manoj

    As long as you have the same master org in the 2 operating units, all you have to do is
    INSERT INTO mtl_system_items_interface
                (organization_code, segment1, transaction_type, set_process_id, process_flag)
       (SELECT '&new_Org', msi.segment1, 'CREATE', 100, 1
          FROM mtl_system_items_b msi
         WHERE organization_id = &old)And run the Import Items request.
    Hope this helps,

  • Proposal.:.Multiple Purchase Unit of Measure and pricing

    The objective of this message is to start a discussion around procurement unit of measure and pricing.
    Currently, some of our clients are facing the following limitation:
    - They stock an item in a specific unit of measure (let say metre)
    - They buy in a different unit of measure (let say unit).
    In this scenario, we have a conversion factor of 6 for example so when we order 1 unit, the system will stock 6 metres.
    The issue is that the pricing in SAP Business One for procurement is expressed in stocking unit of measure. It means that we do not have any possibility to enter the price by unit. For example, if in my purchase price list I enter $10 for one unit, on the purchase order, SAP will calculate if I buy 1 unit: $10 x 6 = $60. This is obviously wrong.
    The second issue is that I can buy the same product from 3 suppliers but in 3 different UoM (one supplier will sell it in unit, another one in metre and another one in pack of 10). The system can not accomodate this business scenario.
    Regards,
    Vincent

    quite late, but I faced the same issue with a window-maker company. They buy alumium bars (different lenghts) and keep them and worked them in meters.
    What we do was use the Production module, and define a new BoM item (bar_meter), so when they buy 1 bar (6.4 meters) and they want to use it, they create a production order to create 6.4 new bar_meters. Then they used as many meters as needed to make the window.
