Unit of measurements extension to other languages

Gurus,
Is there a way to extend the Unit of measurements to other languages which is currently maintained in English?
Thanks,
MV

HI,
Go to SM30 and input T006A and click on Field Maintenance Dialog botton and select the T006A once again and click on maintain.
Here you get the list of UOM's and language key.
Now in the yop menu click on goto and click on translation and you can maintain different language for UOM's.\
Thanks & regards,
Kiran

Unit of measure not defined for language ZH

Hi,
We were creating a PO when we encountered the error which states "Unit of measure not defined for language ZH".
We executed CUNI to translate the units of measurement to our target language. System prompted "This object was segmented. Only new lines evaluated." What does this mean?
We tried creating the PO again, however we encountered the same error that the unit of measure was not defined for the language.
Please recommend action/s that we should take. Thank you.

Take a look at the below threads. Your problem has the solution.

Unit of measure language problem

Hi experts,
I'm selecting matnr and meins from MARA. In SE11 I see the meins in my language (DB), but when I'm executing my program than I see the Unit of measure as 'ST' (Stück).
Could you help me in how can I get the unit of measure in a certain language?

Wenonah that won't work since the meins in MARA cannot be found in T006.
But finally I found a function module which solves my problem:
CONVERSION_EXIT_CUNIT_OUTPUT
Thanks everybody to trying to help me, I appreciate it.

Define unit of measure for another language

Hi,
While maintain quotation I got an error message "Unit of measure ST not defined for language ES". How unit of measure is defined?

Hi,
I am not sure but I think you need to logon to SAP with ES language and maintain units of measure from IMG; SAP NetWeaver- General Settings- Check Units of Measurement.

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,

How to correct CIF error Base unit of measure does not exist?

Dear experts,
I'm trying to cif a location product with base unit of measure KG in R/3 and alternative unit of measure well maintained.
it gives me a CIF queue saying that
"Base unit of measure ZXX does not exist (Product 0000000000000XXXXXX has not been created)"
I do not understand why, the unit ZXX does not exist in the alternative unit of measure for any of the materials managed
I also checked CUNI table and ZXX is not there neither in R/3 or APO,
Thanks for your help
E

Looks like the Alternate UOM --Zxx is not maintained in APO.
2 ways to do this:
(1) program- RSIMPCUST
Re transfer all your UOM settings from R3 to APO
(2) Manual Maintenance in APO:
SPRO>SAP NETWEAVER>GENERAL SETTIGNS>Check UNits of Measurement
Thanks

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

Unit of measure PCS not defined for language FR

Dear Gurus,
I try to raise a PO in ME21N, when saving the order, I am being prompted by the system with the following message:
"Unit of measure PCS not defined for language FR"
I then went to MM02 to check the material master data "Sales Text" Tab.
There the only language available is English, so I clicked on the "Language Maintained" Tab and created a new language for French.
The problem is that when I want to save the changes, the system prompts me with the following message:
"Blank texts exist in the following languages: French and English, these texts will be deleted"
Then the Material Master Data closes and no changes have been made.
Can you please guide me through step by step of what I have to do to be able to populate the field "PCS" for pieces in French so that it is taken into account in the Material Master Data and by extension in a PO.
Thanks for your help.
KInd regards
Chris

Hi Chris,
Goto T code CUNI. In the first screen click on GOTO-Translation-dimension.
Enter EN in Source language and FR in Target.Maintain the entry there.

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

Regards,
William

Hi Willam,
When are you getting this error ? i.e. while creation of shopping cart or process purchase order..
I believe this issue is due to creation of UOM..which means EA UOM should be created with EA language.
For further details please have a look on
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SI/UnitofMeasurerelatedsettingsinSAP
where they have specified that "Maintain UOM in different languages by logging to the system with different logon language"
Kindly confirm.
Thanks

Unit of Measure BOX not defined in language DE

Hi Experts,
We have a Unit of measure BOX, it is used in a Purchase Requisition.
When converting this PR to PO the vendor entered has the language German(DE) and system throws out an error message mentioned in the subject.
I have checked in SPRO under UOM settings and found that this has been maintained for all the languages the path I have checked is SPRO --> SAP NetWeaver -->General Settings --> Check Units of Measurement --> ISO Units --> Select the UOM (BOX) and then in Menu options (Goto --> Translation).
Can anyone help me out what can be the other possible reasons.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards
Lucky.

Dear Lucky,
Normally this issue happens because a missing entry for unit in transaction CUNI.
To maintain this, enter the transaction: CUNI
   Click "Unit of Measurement" and maintain the following as below.
Unit           : XX
Commercial     : XX
Technical      : XX
Meas.unit text : Activ.unit
Please review SAP Note No.[15430|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/15430]
