Unit of Measurement is blank - Text material in Sales Order -

Dear Experts,
We need to trigger a PR from a text item in sales order.
Only problem we are facing is an error message saying "Enter Order Unit". But there is no value in F4 help for order unit. There
is no permissible value for unit of measure in F4 help, as it is derived from material master.
Thanks

Dear Expert,
Here is the exact requirement. We want to trigger a PR for procurement of services from a sales order. To trigger a PR for services and use service entry sheet for service confirmation we need to use item category D-Services in the PR and PO. Item category D does not allow a material to be entered as there will be no invetory tracking for this services. This is standard SAP property for item category D in the PR.
Just to add. If the item category has schedule lines allowed field marked it will not grey out the quantity and UOM field in sales order.
I tried adding the UOM in the debuggin mode and everything is working fine. Need to know if there is any standard setting to achive this.
So to trigger a PR only with a text line from a sales order you need to have a sales order line item only with the text and trigger a schedule line category with the order type NB, Item category as D and account assignment category as R.
Thanks
Shri..

Need Multiple Units of Measure for a given material due to multiple vendors

Hello,
We have a requirement where we must have multiple units of measue (each, box, case, pallet) for a given material.
Background:
We have multiple vendors for one SAP material number. We need to store 4 levels of units of measure for each vendor+material combination.
Unit of Meaure levels
1. Each
2. Innerpack (ex: 12 each = 1 innerpack)
3. Box (ex: 36 eaches = 1 box)
4. Pallet (ex: 100 eaches = 1 pallet)
Standard SAP allows in MM01 additional data --> Units of Measure only 1 Ea, Box, Plt, etc.
Our requirement is to allow multiple Units of Measure due to multiple vendors providing the same material.
So, our unique combination is by a Material+Vendor.
We are considering adding the vendor name and vendor number to the material master --> additional data --> Units of Measure tab.
Does this seem like a good solution? What impacts do you foresee with approach?
Any alternatve solutions?
We thought we could enhance the purchasing info records to allow multiple units of measure too but then we need to also add many fields to hold the weight, lenght, height, width, volume, country of origin, etc.
Please recommend a best practice or solution to handle this requirement.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,
Maintain the alternative units in Material Master in Additional Data -> Units of Measure section with proper conversion factors.
Create individual info-records i.e. per mtl-vendor combination & in the info-record maintain the order unit, along with other details as required.
Now when you create a PO, the details will be read from the info-record. To test the same, create them in your sandbox & see if it meets your requirement.
Hope the above clarifies your query.

Vivek

Units of Measures found in the material master.

Hi,
What is significance of different Units of Measures found in the material master.
Ajay

Hi,
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

Pricing For Text Item in Sales Order

Hi ,
How to give price for text item in sales order.
With regards.
Afzal

Hi Afzal,
consider to create a single service material as a generic one, type DIEN, with basic data and sales org views, with item category group LEIS (it will determine item category TAX in sales order). Material description could be "Don't forget to change me!" so in sales order user remembers to changes the description according to the especific sales order requirements.

Capture Characteristics with Material and Sales Order

Dear All ,
I have to capture the charecteristics alongwith the material, these characteristics also flow in the sales order, basically a class has been defined which holds a number of characteristics and this class is assigned to the material and I guess this is done using the variant configurator,
1) How will be able to capture the same and display
   those ?
2) Does this characteristics flow in the standard
   extractors of the material and sales order or any
   other cube which can multicubed with those ?
Plz do suggest me the an viable option.
Thanks & Warm Regards,
Fayak.

Hi Anil,
Thanks for your reply, I have checked up the material attributes it does not flow there and I was referrring to one note where you can enhance your datasource using CTBW to capture this characteritsics so I did enhance 0MATERIAL_ATTR, the other attributes are listed as an TEXT DataSource and If I check them using RSA3 data gets populated accordingly but the enhanced datasource 0MATERIAL_ATTR which become 1CL_MAT001 does not return any records shows zero records, I am looking for charcterictics which have been mapped using an Variant Configurator and as far as the note suggests it has to be done thru CTBW to capture this, I have done that but success still eludes me,
Experts Plz help on this as I am on pressure to complete this.
Thanks,
Fayak.

Short text from a sales order not pulling through to a STO

Hi,
Does anyone have any idea why the short text from a sales order would pull correctly into a purchase requisition, but when this PR is converted to a PO then the short text in the PO reverts to that in the material master?
Thanks in advance.
jj

Hi,
IN ECC 6.0 EHP 4, it gets copied from PR to PO but not in lower versions.
Hence you can achieve the same using some PO BADI's or through enhancement spots.
Thanks & Regards,

Add new F4 (searchhelp) for material in sales order

Hi there!
I read the following related poste:
customisation of F4 for material in sales order
In that post Atul wanted to change an existing search help. My problem is differnet I think.
What I have:
In VA01 I have many different SearchHelps for the material: 9 standards and 2 from my serviceprovider. The standards have shortcuts M, A, H, K, L, N, O, P and S. The two custom ones have 2 and Y.
in MM03 I have even more different SearchHelps for the material: maybe 23 standards and 3 customized ones. The standards have the shortcuts M, A, B, C, E, F, H, I, J, K, L, N, O, P, R, S, T, V and W (then one without ?!?), then G, U. The custom ones are 1, 2, 3, Y.
I now want to use the searchhelp (for example) "I" (in german its "Artikel zur Liefarentenartikelnummer", so I think its about "Material from suppliermaterialnuber" in english) that I can use in MM03 as well in VA01.
Where do I have to customize / program things to do so?
Thanks in advance!

Works!
I had to include the Searchhelp MAT1I into the section "included searchhelps" of searchhelp SD_MAT1 within transaction SE11 and run the default parameter assignment (Button).
I know it was MAT1I because I looked it up in Searchhelp MAT1_A... just to round this ticket for maybe the next readers.

How to restrict header text changes in sales order level

Dear Experts,
how to restrict header text changes in sales order level change mode
thanks

Hello Chandu,
how to restrict header text changes in sales order level change mode
In order to restrict changes to Sales Order Header Text, the appropriate User Exit would be USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_TVCOM_H. With the help of ABAPer, you can include the simple logic on the basis of Header Text type such that whenever any changes are incurred on the Sales Order header text, updates would be prevented.
Please try out this approach and let us know your latest observation on this issue.

PO Text copy from Sales Order to Purchase Order

Dear friends,
Hope everyone is doing fine.
I have the following business requirement for two situations
Scenario 1) Purchase Order text from the Sales order has to be copied to the purchase order. Here sales order is converted to purchase requisition, and later the requisition is converted to the purchase Order.
The standard SAP config is working absolutely fine for this.
Scenario 2) Purchase Order text from the Sales Order has to be copied ot the purchase order. Here sales order is converted into a planned order, planned order is converted into purchase requisition, and later the requisition is converted to the purchase Order. For this situation, the text is not getting copied from Sales order to the requisition/purchase order.
This is not working as of now with the configuration for the above scenario 1.
Please throw some light to solve the scenario 2.
Please let me know if there is a config or do we need to use any user exit or BADI to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Hi Sam Matt ;
You can benefit from MM:Define copy rules for PR texts .
I checked , you can copy from sales order , like a belowed screens.

Transfer of material from sales order stock to subcontractor

Iam having subcontracting operation in routing. But i am not able to transfer of material from sales order stock to subcontractor when i do 541 movement

Dear Mayuresh,
You cannot move Sales Order assigned material directly to Sub contracting Vendor stock.
For doing so firstly unassign the Sales order stock by transaction MB1B & movement type 411E.
After this you can provide the stock to the vendor by transaction MB1B & movement type 541O.
Other way is to create account assigned Purchase Orders. Thereafter create virtual sub contractor storage location in your plant. Transfer your Sales Order assigned material to these Virtual locations so that you can see the stock provided to the vendor. Now during Goods Receipt of the finished goods you can consume the material by movement type 543E.
Regards,
Subha.

Adding Text to a Sales Order

I would like to add text to a sales order in such a manner that the customer service people can read them , but i do not want those text items to print on shipment or invoice.
Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Please note we are on version 4.6c, as always points will be awarded.
Thank you all

Maintain texts at header or item level as required and you can always control which texts get printed in the form printing program. You can maintain some TEST texts in existing text types and see which one are getting printed. So you can use anything not getting used.
Also if everything is getting printed then you can create new text types and add to the text procedure assigned assigned to the applicable order type, delivery type and invoice type etc.
Mind you- text procedures for order type,delivery type and invoice type all will be different.
