Unit of measure relation 1,000,000 to 1

Hello Guys,
In the material master data i have the requirement to add an alternative unit of measure. The relation is 1 MIU (mega international unit) = 1,000,000 IU
The denominator accepts maximum 6 positions (=100,000).
We dont want to use intermediate UOM (e.g. 1 KUI = 1000 UI and 1 MUI = 1000 KUI). We want to have a direct conversion. Do you know how can i solve this problem?
Best regards
Manuel

Hi Manuals,
I had similar problem on one of the project ,denominator field length is limited to 6
lot of communication with SAP
But no solution ,Finally had to take intermidiate UOM
You can try persuing SAP

Conversion Problem in Unit of measure 1PAC=100,000 EA

Hi Experts,
I am facing the problem in conversion of Unit of Measures.
If some material has the conversion unit when we order to Vendor.
The Unit of measure is EA, the Order unit is PAC.
The conversion is 1PAC=100,000 EA
But the System is allowing as 1PAC=10,000 EA only and it is not allowing to enter 100,000 EA and throughing the error
Entry too long (enter in the format __,___)
Message no. 00089
How can we increase the characters of the Unit of measure. Like this we have some 50 Materials, I need to increase the length of the conversion spaces. How to do it, Please guide me.

Hi
you can check this out the denominator factor is Stored in structure - SMEINH - field UMREN.
Best option is to maintain decimal place for the UOM , which is more easier to mainatin.
Even if you go through the note the same is explained. Please read below for Too large numerators and denominators
When 120000 CM3 = 0,2 tons (TO), you can no longer save numerator and denominator of conversion ratio 600000 CM3 = 1 TO as numerator and denominator may have maximally five digits.
Here, you must either select a larger volume unit or a smaller unit of weight: With DM3 the conversion ratio would be 600 DM3 = 1 TO, with KG the conversion ratio would be 600 CM3 = 1 KG.
Generally, the alternative units of measure and the base unit of measure should result in quantities that are in the same dimension since the conversion factors may not be larger than 99999/1 and not smaller than 1/99999.
Thanks & Regards

Alternate Unit of Measure of ETI

How do you set up an alternate unit of measure to accept decimals. We are currently using PC as a unit of measure and there are 3 decimal places. There is a warning message that appears on the screen and we are being told this will cause issues in costing. Any idea where I can find info on alternate unit of measures related to decimal places. Have looked all over the net and can find nothing.
Any help would be appreciated. Am still a 'newbie' to the SAP world.
Thank you.

Decimal setting for UoM were done thru CUNI and you can maintain the relevant alternate Unit in additional Data of material master.

T006-Decan change after users have used the TO unit of measure

Currently in our system for TO (tonnes) it has T006-Andec as 3 and T006-Decan as 0 and it issues the users a warning message "Order quantity violates rounding rule" if they type in decimals in the purchase order quantity. We have been asked to change T006-Decan to a 3 and do away with the warning message. What happens if you change T006-Decan from 0 to 3 after users have already used the unit of measure (TO) in the R/3 SAP_APPL 470 system on materials, purchase orders, sales documents, receipts, etc...? I don't want to impact our users in production since I do not where this unit of measure has been used. Any advice is welcomed. Thank you.

Hi
If you are changing the decimal places in T006 - DECAN , the number which was 1000 would show as 1,000... so previously it was 1000 tonnes now it will show as 1 tonne.... such things happen....Check with SAP before doing changes to the Standard UOM's...
I am not able to find the correct SAP note for this.... but its there hope you get it
Thanks & Regards

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!

No alternative unit of measure specified, during creation of sales order

Dear Experts,
when user is creating sales order, User is getting the error message no. MM108 "No alternative unit of measure specified" for particular material.
we have checked the alternative unit of measure it is already maintiained in the material master.
we have checked the OSS note : 117611 - Error message MM108 during goods receipt for order, but we couldn't get exact results for our issue.
can you provide the exact reason and solution to over come this please .
Thanks in advance.

Decimal places in unit of measure in Sales order

Hi,
In the Sales Order application in PCUI, when I create a create an order for customer XYZ, and add product ABC for qty 1 which uses unit of measure PC, the qty is displayed with 3 decimals as 1,000 whereas if I use the unit of measure EA the quantity is displayed without the 3 decimals as 1. I need the unit of measure PC to not have the decimal places like in SAPGUI.
Could anyone help me understand how this can be achieved?
Thank you for help in advance.
Regards,
Priya

To elaborate better.
Again, use Tcode CUNI - Unit of measurement : Initial Screen.
At initial screen, choose TIME from the list (where by default AAAADL- no dimensions is there).
And click on UNIT OF MEASUREMENT button.
In that you will find MON - Month.
There go for details by selecting MON or select MON and press F5 from Key board.
For MON unit maintain following parameter as per your requirement:
-Number of decimal places for number display
Use - This parameter determines the number of decimal places with which this measurement unit is displayed.
-Base ten exponent for floating-point display
Use - This exponent determines how the values for this measurement unit are formatted as floating point numbers.
Examples - If the exponent is 3, the floating point numbers have the format xxx.xxxxE3.
And deselect commercial meas. unit in application parameters section.
I would suggest instead of changing standard settings of MON, you create ZMON in TIME dimension.
Thanks & Regards

Alternative unit of measure.. how in this scenario?

Hi,
KG is our base unit of measure
and we would to use Littres(L) as the purchasing unit for this material.
Therefore, we tried in system adding litres as alternative unit of measure.
But we cannot figure out how to put in the density 0,87 kg/l as net weight only as gross weight.
I have tried the below but system complained that "decimal places are not permitted"
X----AUN-<=YBUnGrossWeight--NetWeight
1-----L--<=-0,87--KG-0,87--
1,000
1,149-L--<=1--KG-0,87--
1,000
any clue?
tjanks
Tuff

In purchasing view after defining alternative unit of measurement as L a POP up appears there you maintain as ,
For ex:1kg-0.87L, then maintain such as 100 KG-87L.to avoide the decimal places.

Alternate units of measure

Hi,
In order to implement the Alternate units of measure -
I need to implement user exit and activate enhancement RSR0001. In the description below is listed what to implement of includes. In the function group XRSR - I have added the code to the includes ZXRSRTOP and ZXRSRU01. These are both a part of the group. But the last one ZXRSRF01 is not in the include folder. I tried to create an include by right click on the include folder and choose create - I named it ZXRSRF01 and copied the code into it. But it is still not to be found in the XRSR function group and when I check the program the get_form call raises and error in the code of the include ZXRSRU01. How to get the include in the function group or is there another solution?

Unit of measurement conversion 1 role to ___ CM

Hi,
again a question regarding conversion :
i've got 1 role that equals to 250.000 cm .
base unit of measurement is CM and it can't be changed.
0.00001 to 25 is als o not possible.
I know there are lots of threads on this topic but i can't find a solution for this one
with regards

Hi,
Please check your order unit in your PO & if it is in cm then you create GRN in CM only.
OR still you have to raise the PO then create one duplicate mat code with unit of measurement Meter or ROL.
In conversion you can define upto 25000 only not 250000.
Better you place the order in cm or make conversion for meter.

really EA UOM is exiting in ECC as well as in SRM commpr01 for material 50005545
who is deleting MM 50005545 EA UOM unit ?
I could not recreate the same too.
but sparotically it is happening.
Thanks
Muthu
i need a help to recreate the same issue or i want to know what is the BUYER action makes this Unit deletion.
GOA status is HELD ONLY

1) Is the contract created from scratch or from preceding document, such as shopping cart or bid response.
A1 :- NO . it is fresh starting PROCESS GOA.
2) Is the material maintained with alternative unit of measures
It has only Base UOM as EA.
3) Is the unit of measure on the price condition different from the item's unit of measure.
third one i did notunderstand . buyer just entered price for that material. but in the condition we could not see the UOM.
some action buyer is doing i could not recreate this issue.
thanks jay.

when i am going to create MM01 basic UOM PC does not exit...........when i go create UOM pc in T.code :CUNI unit of measure Tab besides what i have to select like MASS.............so...on
Thanks&regards

Hi,
Tcode: CUNi
Path:
SAP Customizing Implementation Guide - SAP NetWeaver - General Settings - Check Units of Measurement
Click on unit of measurement and then on the top menu click on unit of measurement and then click new entry. You will be able to define UOM's
Standard settings
In the standard delivery system, units of measurement are defined according to the international system of units (SI).
For a new installation, units of measurement are delivered in all clients. For upgrades, new units of measuremente are delivered only in Client 000. They then still have to be transported to the production clients.
Recommendation
If you intend to perform cross-company data exchange, note that units of measurement with company-specific characteristics may have an adverse effect.
Activities
Check that the dimensions delivered and the associated units of measurements are complete.
If you are using EDI, you should also check the ISO codes.
Next to Tab: Unit of Measurement, is Dimension. If you have the required deimension for UoM, select the same or create one to select; else select AAAADL (No Dimension).
Hope, this may help you, some extent.

ISO codes for Units of Measure

are the iso codes held in the uom the standard codes? are these sap standard or can these be amended to what is being output and received by the business for EDI?

Hi Smith,
Go through the below explanation, which would be helpful for you.
Check units of measurement
In applications you often have to make calculations with quantities and physical units. Units of measurement are needed for their screen display and for internal conversions (such as kilogram <-> gram, but also centimeter <-> inch). The international system of units (SI) is used for this.
The international system of units is based on seven basic units of measurement. All other units are derived from these basic units. Units of measurement that measure the same quantity (and can therefore be converted into each other) are included in a dimension.
Units of measurement are held centrally in the SAP System for all applications. The conversion factors are stored in the system with a unique internal key. The external display specifications are maintained for each unit of measurement language-dependently. A business key (3 characters) and a technical key (6 characters) should be maintained for each language.
Standard settings
In the standard delivery system, units of measurement are defined according to the international system of units (SI).
For a new installation, units of measurement are delivered in all clients. For upgrades, new units of measuremente are delivered only in Client 000. They then still have to be transported to the production clients.
Recommendation
If you intend to perform cross-company data exchange, note that units of measurement with company-specific characteristics may have an adverse effect.
Activities
Check that the dimensions delivered and the associated units of measurements are complete.
If you are using EDI, you should also check the ISO codes.
Dimensions
1. Call the maintenance transaction by double-clicking with the mouse on the Execute symbol.
2. On the initial screen of the maintenance transaction, call the function Dimensions
To get a definition of a dimension, place the cursor on the dimension and choose the function Details.
3. If required, create new dimensions with the function New entries.
Units of measurement
1. Call the maintenance transaction by double-clicking with the mouse on "Execute", or press F3 to leave dimension maintenance and return to the initial screen of the maintenance transaction.
2. Select - from F4 Help for the field next to the Units of Measurement function - the individiual dimensions, and choose the Units of Measurement function.
To get a definition of a unit of measurement, position the cursor on the unit of measurement and choose the function Details.
3. If required, define new units of measurement according to the international system of units (SI) with the menu function Unit of meaurement -> Create.
Here you have to make make specifications for:
Display (including a descriptive Units of measurement text)
Conversion (not applicable to units of measurement without dimensions)
Data exchange (EDI) (optional)
Application parameters
ISO codes
1. Call the maintenance transaction by double-clicking with the mouse on "Execute", or press F3 to leave maintenance of units of measurement or dimensions and return to the initial screen of the transaction.
2. Choose the function ISO codes.
3. If required, maintain new ISO codes with the function New entries.
Hope this helps.

Alternate Unit of Measure Conversion Rule Error

We want to sell Cement by the Ton, the base unit of measure its kilograms.
But there its an error on the Material Master and the rule of conversion between Ton and Kilograms its 1 to 1.
First I try to change it then I tried to enter a new one with TNE (Metric Ton) and in both cases after I enter 1,000 on the kilogram box, SAP returns a 1 and in the bottom bar a green icon and the message: " units of measure have been verified and corrected" (translated)
Its there some menu where I can correct these conversion rules?
Thanks

Hi Carlos
We had lot of trouble with unit of measures in one of our projects.
The rule is you can't change base unit of measure untill all open objects are completed. The open objects typically are Sales Orders, production order, purchase orders, etc. If you try to chnage Base unit of measure, SAP gives you an error with list of open objects.
Second rule is it should be the smallest unit of measure if possible. For ex- you can't have base unit as Kilos and then alternate unit of measure as Grams. In this case Grams should be the smallest unit of measure.
But once all open objects are closed and Base Unit is chnaged, I have not seen any problems in the previous transactions. We have done it multiple times.
Another alternative to get out of this is, discard this material and create a new one with correct unit of measures.
Hope this helps.

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.
