Unit of Measurement with same commercial key

Hello,
I want to create different internal measurement units, by assigning same commercial , technical and ISO code like below:
Unit   commercial     technical         ISO code
TA       PC                  Piece             PCE
ST       PC                  Piece             PCE.
while createing second one, system is giving error meassage Commercial UNIT :PC:  already existed. Messsage number:BM009.
How can I over come this?
regs,
Ramesh

The Commercial unit is a key field and has to be unique.
What is the need of creating another UOM with same details.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Duplicate record with same primary key in Fact table

    Hi all,
       Can the fact table have duplicate record with same primary key . When i checked a cube i could see records with same primary key combination but the key figure values are different. My cube has 6 dimentions (Including Time,Unit and DP) and 2 key figures. So 6 fields combined to form the composite primary key of the fact table. When i checked the records in se16 i could see duplicate records with same primary key. Ther are no parallel loading happening for the cube.
    BW system version is 3.1
    Data base is : Oracle 10.2
    I am not sure how is this possible.
    Regards,
    PM

    Hi Krish,
       I checked the datapacket dimention also. Both the record have same dimention id (141). Except the Keyfigure value there is no other change in the Fact table record.  I know this is against the basic DBMS primary key rule. But i have records like this in the cube.
    Can this situation arise when same records is there in different data packet of same request.
    Thx,

  • Two Business roles with same config key

    Hello ,
    I have 2 users groups, the search for account page UI should be configured different for them. Rest of the pages should have the same layout.
    Do I need to create 2 different configuration keys? Can I just define 2 Business roles with same configuration key? How can I make only account search view different? May be using special object type?
    Thank you,
    Rika

    Hello ,
    Thank you very much for your answer.
    May be I need to explain my problem with more details:
    We created z* business role for Sales team. We designed screens and made all necessary enhancements.
    Now I need to create a new Business Role for management. This role should have the same WEB GUI except some little changes:
    For example: Sales Rep do not need search for accounts by Sales group/office. So we hide this search for him.
    Management should have options to search by Sales group.
    There some additional changes in several views that should be performed for management.
    Should I copy every view to new configuration key (one by one) in this case?
    As a told before most of views are similar.
    Thank you
    Rika

  • Maintain differ type of Unit of measurment for same material

    Hi Expert
    I procured (internal /external)   one material in Kg, but I want maintain different unit of measurement (like M). & sale is different unit of measurement (like m2).it  is possible ?
    If Possible kindly explain the steps
    Advance thanks for all
    Regards
    Porsee

    Hi,
    You can maintain different BuM
    But the stock keeping BuM will remain same
    You have to maiintain in Purchasing view if you wish to Purchase in different BuM other than BuM of material soon you enter different BuM in Purcahsing system aske for the convsrsion factor Like 1kg = 100 PC here BuM is 1Kg but ordered BuM is PC
    In the similer way in Sales View you can enter sales BuM &  stock keep BuM.

  • 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.

  • APO key figures - units of measure

    I am using APO V5.1.
    Via RSA1 I have created a key figure of data type Quantity and unit = 0UNIT.
    I have assigned this key figure to my planning area and planning book.
    The planning area has unit of measure = CAS, and this is the unit of measure shown for my new key figure in interactive planning.
    How can I change the unit of measure for my new key figure to D(ays)?
    Thanks for any advice...

    Datta,
    Thanks for this reply.
    I have followed your advice...
    I have a key figure with data type 'Number'.
    In interactive planning, this key figure is appearing with a blank uom.
    In the planning book design, on the 'key figure attributes' tab, I cannot however make any changes to the key figure attributes including uom, as they are greyed out.
    Any ideas on this?
    Thanks...

  • 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 .

  • 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,

  • 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)
