Unit of measure with language Key

Hello Guruz,
WHile creationd of purchase order, there is a check kept which compares the vendor communication language which gets updated in the Po header - Communucation tab with Db table T006A which holds the Unit of measurements with Language Key and pops up an error message.
It cheks the order unit in the PO, and the T006A whether the unit is maintained in the Language key as in the PO header - Communiction tab.
But while creating a unit of measurement in CUNI, we dont have the option to maintain the language key for the UOM.
In CUNI, it defaults the language key as EN in table T006A.
I need a prompt support from you guys on this issue. Please suggest how to go about with this?
Best Regards
Greg.

Hello,
When i am trying to go for the language key in CUNI, it says that the said language is 'not available in server'. I guess it is checking whether the language patch is updated in the server.
But it doesn't sound logical to maintain all the unit of measurements in all the vendor languages. Suppose if we are having vendors with 75 communication languages and we are having 50 units os measurements, so does that mean that we have to maintain units of measurements 75 X 50 times ?
Kindly provide your inputs on the issue. We are facing lots of issues with this control kept in PO header checking for the T006A with the vendor communication language.
Regards
Greg

Alternate Unit of Measure with several Qty KF's

Case is as follows:
3 different plain KFs related to qty. Sales volume, net weight anddelivery qty.
All need to be dispalyed in the same report. All have different base unit of measure.
I have only one variable [YTAUNIT) for entering required unit.
Now if I enter all KFs using this same YTAUNIT variable for them each separately I get error message on the query that this is not permitted.
How should I change the structure ?
- add new variable for each KF ? (YTAUNIT1, YTAUNIT2, .....) -> do I need to change any of the ABAP codes? is there a link only picking YTAUNIT ?
Please can You give me an example (detailed) how to proceed ?
Thanks in advance
Petri

Hi,
I have worked on single variable But from the understanding of working I feel you need to create three diff variable (input var) YTAUNIT1, YTAUNIT2 ect Because they are on same base unit of measure with different units of measures. And you will have to take corresponding variable for every key figure in the calculated KF.
Just try with different variables.
Assign points if it helps.

KEY HINDI .
Thnx
help will b appreciated.

I had a similar issue with CHinese characters in a US based system...
what you have to do is - assuming your system is a UNICODE system...
1. in RSKC - set value to ALL_CAPITAL
2. If you are seeing the data in BEX - then set your local language to Hindi and location to India - for this you will have to install the necessary language packs for Hindi ( not sure if they are available ) and then you should be able to see Hindi characters in BEX - else use WAD to display the same - web display should work...

Unit of measurements with no dimensions

Hi,
CUNI has 'No Dimensions' for Unit of measurements Case and Each. Is there any way to create a dimension for these or add to some other existing dimension in order to use the FM UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE? Are these changeable or are they supposed to be in the dimension AAAADL? No luck searching the forum.
Thanks

What would be the best method to convert something to EAches? FM UNIT_CONVERSION_SIMPLE is throwing a dimensionless error message.
Would copying the CS and EA definitions to another dimension cause an overlapping of dimensions? Asking before actually doing the work to ensure time spent is productive in doing the copy?
How accurate are the Denominator and Numerator fields from the Line Items? How are these fields populated? Are they manually populated by the data entry person or are they read off from the master data tables?
I would think these fields are not manually entered by the data entry persons who are posting the documents. The VA01, for example, only allows users to enter the quantities. Why would someone configured the VA01 to have the end users post a document and have to enter these fields manually.

Problem with Unit of measurement

Hi,
I am having problem with Unit of measurement with different languages.
Eg:
In SPRO, I am able to see the unit of measure T3 Description: (Trading unit). in SAP 200 client .the logon language is EN(english).
But if I logon into same client(200) with different language DE(german) version, I am not able to see the description in German, the description field is blank.
Kindly give me a solution for this problem as it is very urgent.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shankar

Hi Aishwarya,
I can think of 2 possibilities:
1. You need to verify passing the Target UoM with the ISO Code as well as the update flag in the 'X' structures.
2. The material that you are trying to pass some UoM does not have the conversion maintained in the Material Master. (Base UoM --> Target UoM conversion in Material Master, contact Functional Consultant).
Also, if you can verify by performing the action manually and check if the Sales Order is getting created manually with the Target UoM .

Pranav.

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.
Thanks,
Viswanath

Unit of measure

Hi
I want to procure same material from same vendor for different plants with different unit of measure.I tried maintaining different unit of measure in inforecord but it is not posible...
How to maintian differnet unit of measure with plant level for same material..
kindly need your inputs
-Prabu

hi,
soory for delay,
to create condition table and assigning to access sequence go to
spro-mm-purchasing-condition-create contion table(in this create table in 900 ser.and enter. then double click on field u wnt eg. pur.org plant etc and then generate the table)-then go to acc. seq. in that go to change and assign that con. table before the info record table i.e. if info record acc, no. is 20 give earlier no. which is available and save it .
then go to MEK1 t. code u will get the pop up in which u will get u r combination ok.

Unit of measure in BOM

Hi...
I have one problem with unit of measure in BOM.
We can maintain item quantity upto 3 decimal point.My problem is with one of material having consumption of 0.01042 for 1pc of header material.
Due to constraint in maintining decimal point in BOM we maintained it as 0.011 & it leads to undesired result after BOM explosion.
I know there is one way of going with base qty. of header to be changed.
Suggest other else?How to get out of this.....
Regards
Tushar

Hi Brhamankar...Thanx for your valuable i/p.
We have got solution to the said problem as below(Without increasing the base quantity of header)...
1)Create new unit of measure say TP
2)Maintain it as alternate unit of measure with conversion as 1000TP=1042PC in material master of that component
3)Maintain the quantity in BOM as 0.01TP
4)Make plan entry for header level say for 50000
5)After MRP run , procurement proposal for component as 521PC(Previously it was 550PC because restriction of 3 decimal point, in BOM rounded with 0.01042 =0.011PC)
6)After MFBF, material consumption is also found ok

Multiple unit of measurement

Dear All,
We are reporting a production capacity in Kg.
Selling unit is in SQM & Nos.
Production unit is in Nos. & SQM.
Theoretically we have relation ship in "10" SQM = "10" KG = no.
But at the time of production "10" SQM may becomes "11" Kg
We want reporting in actual KG produced along with SQM & nos.
I have already tried with maintaining alternate unit of measurement in following way.
- Base unit of measure Kg & production unit in SQM = I am not able to report nos of units produced.
- Base unit of measure SQM & Production unit in KG = I am not able to report nos of units produced,
- Base unit of measure Ea & production unit in KG = I am not able to report nos of Square meters produce & actual KG produced.
Let me know how I can overcome this situation.
Regard,

Hi Dear,
You can't take two units for sales & two units for Production automatically by system,
U can only a specific unit for each.
In your case my opinion that you take Base unit in which you want to maintain stock as per i get KG is suited for it & then go to material master and then go to additional data by clicking additional data push button here u get tab unit of measurement here you go & give other unit of measurement with conversion & can change manual any where you want & make sell or production in any.
But if you have any most usable unit in production then it you can define & can change at the time of creation if by the way u want to change.
Hope it will work for you.

Changes in Base Unit of Measure

Hi,
We got an issue,User tried to change the Base unit of Measure from NO to KG.
1.For this material we dont have stock in unrestricted and quality,But it has reservations. 2.It has got Scheduling agreement,3.This material is used In BOM.
So if i cancel reservations,then remove this item from scheduling agreement and delete it from BOM.Will it work further to change the Base Unit of Measure.
Please Do help me in this matter
Thanks and Regards

1) You can only change the base units of measure under the following circumstances
No stocks are available for the material.
There are no existing purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.
At present, no purchase orders or purchase order items are being created or changed.
Item is not linked in any BOM as chield part
If requests for quotations, purchasing info records, or contracts are available for a material, the system emits a warning while changing base unit of measure. Still if you want to change unit of measure specify in a dialog box the factor for converting the base unit of measure into the new base unit of measure. The purchasing info records are then, if necessary, updated.
2) Solution
   As system is not allowing changing base unit of measure there will be either stock of this material or existing purchase document
1) If there are stocks in the previous period, you can clear them as follows:
a) Post the stock in the previous period to the current period (for example, using movement type 561) so that the stock for the previous period is the same as the stock for the current period.
b) Clear the stock with the posting date in the previous period (for example, using movement type 562).
2) If there are Open purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.complete all P2P cycle for open orders (purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements) and then close it.
3)Delete item from BOM
Then
1.     Run Trnx MM02 (Change Material Master immediately.
2.     Overwrite the old base unit of measure with the new one in basic data screen.
3.     Save the change.
3) System checks
If a change criterion (Trnx. code MM02) is meeting all necessary prerequisites (as mentioned in point 1).System allows changing base unit of measure. Otherwise it displays warning or error. U can display the reason for this, by choosing Display Errors (ctrl+F1)

How to hide/suppress unit of measure for values of columns in structure

hi,
hi i am using following in rows and columns.
Rows:
1. material group
2. structure (key figures)
     key figure 1
     key figure 2
     key figure 3
3. base unit of measure
Columns:
1. structure (time scale)
    fiscal period 1
    fiscal period 2
    fiscal period 3
    fiscal period 4
If I run the report I am getting unit of measure for each key figure in each fiscal period. I wan to show unit of measure only once in a base unit of measure (row).
I want to suppress / hide unit of measure in columns (time scale - fiscal period). If I wasn't using strcture, I could have used NODIM in formula. But I dont think that I can use NODIM in strctuere.
Is there any alternative.
pls suggest. Thanks.

It seems that i have found the answer. I have checked the query properties --> check the option - Display scaling factors for key figures.
Pls let me know if you have any other alternatives. Thanks.

Unit not created in language EN

Hello,
When loading a flat file, I receive the following error:
Error in conversion exit
CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_INPUT
So then I checked the units of measure in my flat file against the T006A table via SE16 in BW. When I looked up some of the units of measure, I get the following error:
Unit is not created in language EN.
Question: How do I create the unit of measure in language EN?
Thanks,
George

Neither of the suggested solutions worked.
I ran RSDMD_CHECKPRG_ALL from se38 for 0BASE_UOM and 0UNIT.
I also removed CUNIT from the column CONVE which is next to the UNIT column.
I am still receiving the same errors as before.
Any other suggestions?
