Unit of measure / sales unit

Hi Gurus ,
How to maintain same unit for unit of measure as well as sales unit for a particular material . ..like ..UOM : pc and sales unit also : pc.
Pl thro some lights

Hi Murugan,
If your UOM and SU is different then you maintain Conversion factor.But Here your requirement is both UOM and SU are same, So no need for conversion factor.In Materail master you maintain UOM, when you Create sales Oder(VA01), it will pick up your SU as UOM.
If helpful answer then reward.

Dear Mr Sabine
I observed that you have closed lots of thread without a proper solution. How can you do that? Or what propel you to close the thread? The closure should be done by the person who have created the thread. Till he/she gets a proper reply or the problem is resolved why to close. It may take some time, some days also. Delay reply should not be the reason for closure.
So please avoid from closing unilaterally.

Unit conversion from Sales unit to Base unit

HI,
I am working on 2lis_11_vaitm and 2lis_11_v_ssl sources.
Both these sources have quantities in Sales unit.
In BW how do i convert these quantities to Base unit.
Both sales unit and base units are available in the sources. But value avialable only in Sales unit.
I am using delivery quantity from 2lis_11_v_ssl and Cumulative order quantity in 2lis_11_vaitm.
Kindly suggest a way.

Multiple Unit of Measure Sales Order-Despatch

Hi
We are a texttile maunufacturing company and we receive orders for knitted fabric in meters. However, the complete accounting of knitted fabric is handled in Kgs. Prouction data is recorded in KGs and each despatch has 1000s of lines which need to be changed to meters while doing PGI. This is very time consuming. Alternate UOM at material level may not work for us, as the conversion factor for each batch varies. Can you please suggest some ways where by we can define the conversion factor at batch level.
Thanks in advance.
Shaji

Can you please explain this further? Do we still need to maintain alternate unit of measure in material master? Does the batch inherit the UOM from material master, which can be changed at batch level. In our case UOM remains KG at the time of production. However, at the time of delivery we need to deliver in meters. How do we define a conversion rate for the batch?
Regards
Shaji

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.

Unit of measure conversion

Hello All
could you please explain me how unit of measure ( sales unit and base UOM) works and their conversions in matrial master and in purchase info record?
My scenario is this
base UOM is pc (piece)
sales unit ( KG)
while creating sales order it is taking as KG .after that PO is created auatomatically for this sales order. PO is also having KG as UOM.
After goods receipt happens and while updating confirmed quantity of schedule line in sales order it is updating in pieces.
eventhough sales unit is KG , why its converting into pieces ( waht is the need)
Points to note are the conversion in material master is 1pc= 1p and 1kg=2pc
thanks for the early reply.

Stock is managed in BUOM, so in case you have a transaction in an alternative UOM, system will convert to BUOM.
It is my opinion, that in cases a material has both non-dimentional UOM, like PC, and (numeric) ISO UOM like KG, it is better to have the ISO UOM as BUOM; the other way around may lead to unwanted rounding issues.

Error message 'Enter unit of measure' in Webclient

Hello Experts,
We are working on CRM 5.0 SP 7, IC WebClient and have implemented the BAdi "CRM_SERVICEPROD_BADI" to assign a service product ''INVESTIGATION' whenever user selects service ticket in WebClient.
However, when confirming a Business Partner and accessing the service ticket, an error is getting displayed stating "Enter the unit of measure".
We have already mentioned the unit of measure in Product but it seems it is not picking from there.
Please help me to remove this error.
Reward points assured for useful answers.
Regards,
Amit

hi
I had a similar Problem
You will have to assign the base unit of measure in service tab as hours and then in the sales and distribution tab assign the same unit in the sales unit and give minimum order quantity(for e.g-1) & delivery unit ,this you will have to do for all the sales areas you might have mapped in the S&D tab
I'm sure the issue will be resolved
Cheers!!

Unit of measurement problem

Hi,
A material has its base unit as "Number" & additional unit as "KG" while creating PR it takes only NO not KG and same follows in PO. How can that be solved?

Hello
It will take NO while creating the PR even if you change in Material master purchasing view. i.e. Ordering unit as KG and also in info record. while creating the PO, the unit will be changed to KG based on conversion factor. After Gr, the system will show the stock in NO as NO is base unit of measure. (stock keeping unit).
If you want to change the base unit of measure, then please refer the following poitns :

Changing Base Unit Of Measure (Material Master)

Hi
1. How to check this? (Any successful changes in material master only took place when there is no open document from SD, PP, MM & FI for that material. )
2. Base unit of measurement cannot be changed. The reason being material movement history is there in table - MSEG mainly which otherwise create inconsistency in reporting. -
Is this line applicable for current period or previous period in current year or previous period previous year???
3. There are no existing purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material. -
is this means open / pending purchase orders or the the PO's created in system with respect to material where the GR and IR is already done
4. You can change the base unit of measure if there is no stock of the material during current and previous period----
is this means the term " previous preiod" is previous period in the current finacial year   or its applicable for the previous preiod in previous financial year
5. Post the stock in the previous period to the current period - -
how can we do this???
Vijay

Solution
If necessary, all reasons mentioned above must be eliminated by archiving the objects listed
1) SAP checks this for you. A new button will appear in MM02 and after you click this button to check the error log, you will see which documents exist.
2) I have not seen that an existing movement will restrict the change of a BUoM.
3) No purchase requisitions, purchase orders or scheduling agreements must exist for which the deletion indicator is not set
       it is not caring about GR done or IR done. it telling you that the deletion indicator has to be active. As a deletion indicator can be reset easily, you probably have to archive the documents
4) the previous period is the period before the current period.
   today we have February, hence the previous period is January.
5) first make sure your current stock is higher than the stock of the previous period. if it is lower, then you have to create inventory in current period first e.g. with 202 movement with current date.
Then you issue the previous period stock with 201 movement and previous period date (make sure periods are open in OB52 and MMRV allows posting to previous period).
Finally you issue the left stock in the current period with 201 and current date.
Now previous period and current period stock is zero. After the change of the base unit you have to get the stock back into the system

Hi,
Go to MM42, select basic data view
In,Units of measure/ EANs /dimensions sub tab
there u can see four radio buttons
B.Un    Unit of measure is base unit (used internally only)
O.Un    Unit of measure is the order unit                             - Purchasing
D/L.Un Unit of measure is delivery unit/issue unit              - Logistics
S.Un    Unit of measure is the sales unit                             - Sales
for eg:
First line enter EA (each) or PC (piece) in Auom for a material and enter 1 in Number and select radio button for B.Un
Second line enter CT (carton) in Auom and enter 10 in Number and select radio button for O.UN (when you creating a PO it UOB automatically picks as CT)
Third line enter PALin Auom and enter 50 in Number and select radio button for D/l .UN (when u creating a delivery UOB picks as PAL ie pallets)
Fourth line enter EA or PC and enter 1 in Number and select radio button for S.UN (when u creating a Sales order UOB picks as EA or PC as u defined)

Unit of Measurment

Hello
Can any one help me to understand the meaning/significance of diffrenet Units of Measures found in the material master
regards
Narendra

Hi,
Alternative Units of Measure
In addition to the base unit of measure, used by the system in managing stocks and carrying out all its computations, other departments can use their own units of measure.
All units of measure other than the base unit are known as alternative units. The following are examples of alternative units of measure:
Order unit
Unit of measure in which a material is ordered. It is the default unit in purchasing functions.
Order price unit
Unit in which the vendor invoices you. The order price unit is defined in the purchase order or in the purchasing info record. If you have defined an order price unit in the PO, the goods receipt will be recorded in both the order unit and the order price unit.
Sales unit
Unit of measure in which a material is sold. It automatically appears as the default in a sales order and can be changed there.
Unit of issue
Unit of measure in which a material is issued from the warehouse/stores. You can use this unit of measure in conjunction with goods issues and physical inventory activities.
Any quantities that you specify in a unit of measure other than the base unit are automatically converted into the base unit by the system. To make this possible, you must enter the ratio for conversions between alternative units and the base unit (the conversion factor) in the material master record. You can enter this information when specifying the alternative unit of measure.
Variable Units of Measure
In the material master record, you can specify that the material can be procured in a unit of measure that differs from the order unit.
If the material can be ordered in more than one unit of measure, enter 1 in the Variable order unit field.
This setting is then adopted in the purchasing info record and allows you to enter an order unit that differs from the one in the purchasing info record when creating or maintaining a purchase order or source list.
If you do not allow a variable order unit in the material master record, you must use the order unit from the material master record.
If you wish to specify a different order unit for a purchase requisition, you must assign a source with a different order unit to the requisition.

Chinna
