Unit of Measure(UOM) for PO and Packing

Dear all,
we have got issue about UOM for Purchase order and Packing.
When we create PO with vendor then we use UOM is set for example: sofa.
but when we GR from Vendor the storekeeper check artice follow UOM is Set. (packing).
pls help us

Dear,
Basing on your post - your stock keeping unit is SET.
Purchase order is SOFA.
Go to material master and maintain basic UOM as SET and Order unit as SOFA.
Whenever you are raising PO using this material, the PO UOM will be SOFA. Maintain the conversion factors if applicable.
One more way in PR - Source of supply tab you can mention purchase organization and order unit as SOFA (this wihthout making changes in material master). But everytime create PR indentor has to pay attention towards this entry.

ISO UoM vs USA UoM for SO and Transfer Order

Hi to All,
I've an issue that I must resolve urgently!!! So, I hope in your precious advices.
Case: Customer Model: Holding with european company codes and americans ones.
The corporate is an Italian Company. So, Materials Master Data are created centrally at Italian Company; consequently the Base Unit of Measure in which stocks of the material are managed (Master Data: view Basic data 1) is expressed in ISO UoMs( Kg, dm3....).
I have the necessity to use also american UoMs so I've created in Additional Data -> Unit of Measure alternative TU and CU using USA UoMs for the dimensions (lb, "3....) in corrispondence to europeanTU and CU.
I can use them on Sales Order, and Transfer Order with type ZT02 STO Cross Company but I can't use them for ZT01 STO from APS: Transfer order intra- company becouse as default the Base Unit of Measure is used.
Does it exist a way to convert the Base Unit of Measure expressed in ISO UoMs to USA UoMs for dimensions without modyfing the Base Unit of Measure set in Master Data: view Basic data 1?
Thanks in advance
Roberta

Hi,
If you want to create any transaction with only alternative unit of measure you don't active variable active unit of measure in purchasing view of material master. In this field take not active.
Variable Active unit:
When you required to create any transaction with both unit of measure base unit and alternetive unit of measure you active it and if you want to create transaction with only alternative unit you don't active it.
NOTE: - In case of Purchase order system take order unit of measure(In Purchasing view) and for stock transfer order take unit of issue(Plant Data1) - If variable active unit is off.

Unit of measure conversion for CIN is not relevant for pricing

During creation of Ad item type order, when we enter the planned ad size e.g. A CO (Columns) x B IN (Inches), the system is showing a message "Unit of measure conversion for CIN is not relevant for pricing" and pricing is not determined in the Billing Data Set. However if the planned ad size is maintained as A CO (Columns) x B MM (Millimeters), there is no impact to pricing conditions.
Any light how to fix this issue?
Thanks,
Suseela. V

Dear Suseela,
You need to maintain Unit of conversion using transaction code JH51. You have to follow the path Logistics-Advertising Management-Master Data-Conditions-Order/Billing Document-UM for Pricing.
Here you can maintain combination using Booking Unit, Content Component, Design type and assign Unit of Measure to get relevant pricing into billing set conditions.
Hope it will help. Thanks!

Why do units of measurement in paragraph tab and character tab differ?

Why do units of measurement in paragraph tab and character tab differ?
In Indesign CC 2014.1 when I set the units for type to be in points and all other measurements apart from strokes to be in mm, why are the units for the paragraph tab also in mm?
In both Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC, whatever units you assign for type also are used for the paragraph settings, which makes sense.
I want everything to do with type to be in points and pretty much everything else in mm, yet the only way I can have the paragraph tab units as points is for all measurements to be in points!
Does this sound right or is something wrong with my Indesign?
Thanks

They are made by Adobe, and Adobe has different teams for different applications.
Sometimes the same feature in multiple applications is designed slightly differently than the way other teams would handle it.
This may be down to:
Time constraints to get the feature in - compared to other top priority items
Having to make a decision on whether to do it one way or another way - 50/50 type thing
Due to the limitations of how the program was designed and how the feature ties in with other features etc.
And many many more programming reasons. It may be the guy doing the photoshop changes wasn't as well versed in typography needs as the indesign guy.
Who knows - but there are differences in lots of areas between all apps.

Measure Formulae for Uploadable and Data collection report

Hi,
I have query related to application of measure Formula for Uploadable and Data collection report.
Consider a scenario where i use a MDX query to create a data collection report and I map these columns from these reports to an rowsource using a loader file. Can I use measure formula feature like onchange to work with Uploadable and Data colection reports such that changes to any one column should take effect in another column.
Regrads,
Wesley

Wesley,
IOP uploadable reports are used for sending data to the server in batch. They are coupled to the IOP model via a rowsource. You have a lot of flexibility with the spreadsheet you build for staging the upload. It's really just a function of how crafty you are with vb. Cascading changes from one column to another can be easily accomplished this way.
Onchange formulas are for something else. They are part of the model definition and are used for describing how to cascade changes between IOP data blocks.

Deliverable unit of measure (UoM) determination?

Hello,
I would like to know if SAP supports the following process:
Lets say we have a material of fluid (e.g. water), whose base unit of measure is Liter.
Lets also say that we have an STO to transfer 100 liter of water from one plant to another.
In the supplying plant, there are 500 bottles of 2 liter each, and 4 bottles of 20 liters each.
We would like the system to suggest in this case to deliver 4 bottles of 20 liter, and 10 extra bottles of 2 liter in order to supply the full quantity.
Is this a process that can be implemented in SAP standard? how?
How should the bottles in the supplying plant be represented?
Can the same material be in stock in different units of measure? or each "bottle type" should be a different material?
Thanks in advance,
Doron Oded
Edited by: Oded Doron on Nov 21, 2010 8:12 PM

Hi,
You will create a material for water with base UOM as litre. In alt UOM you can include bottle as a UOM. Also in material master in plant data storage 2 view the unit of issue shld be updated as bottle. Now whenever you are trying to issue system will propose bottle as UOM..
In this case you wud hav defined one bottle is ex 10 litres.
I am not sure how to maintain 40 litres bottle or son

Unit o measure issue for blanket orders

I am trying to create a blanket order for cost center using catagory for blanket order. When I enter Unit of measure say "each" it replaces with "LE" and gives me an error- " Unit of measure LE not defined- please check your input" when I go into details of message - it tells me that " The key for the unit of measure you entered is not defined in table T006." and "Define the unit of measure through Customizing (Materials Management)."
next when I look for this table it tells me that this is not active. At this time I can not save the PR.
Can anyone tell me where is this config in MM?
Thanks for your help in advance
Raj

Hi,
If the UOM of LE is there you neeed to check what is in the commercial and technical col;umns for it.
In SAP the LE is the internal code for the UOM and NOT the one that is entered in transactions.
LE normally has a technical name of AU and it is AU that should be used in the UOM fields on requisitions and POs etc. NOT the LE.
Try using the UOM that is in the technical column of LE.

BEx Query: Attribute not display Unit of Measure (UOM)

In a BEx I am trying to create a query that displays attributes to 0EMPLOYEE. One of the custom attributes is the employee's rate of pay. We have the hourly rate, nightly rate, etc. This attribute is a numeric attribute with currency assigned as the Unit of Measure. I am trying to create a query displaying the pay rates from the attributes of 0EMPLOYEE but remove the unit of measure in the output. I am aware this can be done on key figures using the NODIM formula. How can I remove on an attribute?
Example: Output is $10.25 UOM. I want it to display as $10.25.
Thanks.

Hi,
Create a Formula Variable with Replacement Path for this Attribute.
Use NODIM function for the Formula Variable.
Let me know if it works according to your requirement.

Measuring Point for Tools and Die Maintenance

Dear All,
I am trying to map the following process:-
My client has 10 press machines and around 250 Dies for punching. Dies are assembled to press machines and they produce jobs by punching.
Client has an Preventive Maintenance plan for each Die in terms of number of strokes punched by an Die. for e.g PM is done after every 300000, 600000, 900000, 1200000 strokes. Estimated life is 1200000.
What they want is when production person confirms the production order say for 10000 jobs the counter of the die should increase by 10000.......and so on. When the counter reaches 300000 preventive maintenance call should be scheduled.
What i have done is created an Die as an Equipment with PRT as equipment category. Created an measuring point for that Die, assined Usage formula etc.
I have created an Maintenance plan for that die in which i have assigned the strategy (IP11) which contains the stroke cycles 300000, 600000.........etc.
Assigned the Die as a PRT to the material which is to be produced in the Routing.
When i confirm the production order the counter of the PRT increases which i can check IK13.
What i am expecting is that in IP10 system should update the counter automatically so that when the counter reaches to 300000 maintenance call wil be scheduled and order will be generated.
I would request you to please give me some input on this.
Thanks and Regards,
Rashmi

Hello Rashmi;
I have seen the screen shots & there are problems with the following:
1) Counter overflow reading
You have entered 130; keep it as- 999999 (it is the reading after which system starts counting from 0 value)
2) Formula that you have used;
You have used the formula- SAPF02; do not use this. Create you own formula with following details: SAPF99 (new formula) = SAP_20 * SAP_09
3) You have manually entered the reading for the measuring point; do not use it. System will calculate the measurement reading from PRT usage value.
CREATE a single measuring document with reading as '0'.
4) Also in CA01; you need to assign this PRT in routing with "EQUIPMENT" & not material. Also make sure that in the same screen (assignment of PRT- basic data) maintain usage value as 1 (if this is not maintained, measuring doc. will NOT be updated).
5) Now when you confirm the production order, based on number of units created; system will automatically create the measuring doc.
If there is any problem with CA01, CO01 or CO11n; ask your PP consultant to assist.
Do let me know if there is any problem in this.

Multiple units of measure (UoM) inventory 8.8

Anybody have any documentation on the multiple units of measure feature in 8.8. I have done the delta training but I can't see it in the current version I have installed (PL09).
Do I have to update to PL10 to get this feature? Does it not exist anymore? Or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Thank you for trying to help but unfortunately you are all not exactly correct on this...
I spoke to SAP and the functionality described in the 8.8 Delta video using strawberries as an example is misleading.
The new feature allows you to change Items Per Purchase Unit / Items Per Sales Unit on the document dynamically even if there are transactions to the item.
2007 and below locked the items per purchase / items per sales unit after a single transaction.
So the setup for this is NOT in the item master data it is a field called Items Per Unit in the marketing documents. The items per unit becomes the default but you can modify it for each document dynamically.
I made a simple dropdown list UDF and an FMS that allowed me to select different lengths and whatnot. And the FMS would input the correct conversion rate into the Items Per Unit field.
So for a purchasing (in this case a purchase order) example we store this particular unit in metric tonnes but we occasionally buy it in 25kg bags / 2200kg totes, etc. For the 25kg bags each bag would be 0.025 metric tonnes (mt). So when the dropdown says 25kg bag, the FMS inputs 0.025 in the items per unit field. Then when we say 100 bags, it would put them into inventory at 100 (qty) * 0.025 (items per unit) = 2.5 mt. In this case we inventory the item in metric tonnes and sell it in metric tonnes so it's a simple example only on the purchase side.
The only caveat to this is that the price doesn't dynamically change with the items per unit, but you could either make an FMS for that as well, or simply type it in manually.
This is for 8.8 ONLY not 2007.
There is no real documentation or training on this currently but I have confirmed this with SAP and used it in the system.
Hope this helps,
Mike

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?

Hello Karru,
I recommend these notes:
