Unit of Messure issue

Hi, All,
I have a question on Unit Messure. What happened if Unit of Messure in General View is different the Unit of Messure in Purchasing View in Material Master Data? Can I change Unit of Messure in Purchase Order? Then do a goods receipt in different Unit of Meesure? In Info Record, Unit of Messure can be covereted? Then during procurement process automatically converted?

What happened if Unit of Messure in General View is different the Unit of Messure in Purchasing View in Material Master Data?
Base Unit of measure is same ,only you can give ordering unit in purchasing view
Can I change Unit of Messure in Purchase Order?
If you change unit of measure while creation system will automatically converts qty according to your ordering unit
Then do a goods receipt in different Unit of Meesure?
I think you can't.System will automatically post as stock keeping unit maintained in Material master.
In Info Record, Unit of Messure can be covereted?
You can give ordering unit.If you create Po with respect to info record system will pick UOM from inforecord.
Then during procurement process automatically converted?
UOM automatically converts as per data maintained in material master automatically.
Hope this would help.

We can add alternative base unit of messure in bom?
Dear You should create BOM componenets in Base Unit of measure or Unit Of issue.
In case of BOM component maintain Unit of issue as meter in plant data storage location view In Material Master and add the Item in BOM-CS02.

Unit of measure issue in BOM

For a component Unit Of Measure issue is maintained as "KG". In BOM "Unit of measure" is mainatined a s"G". I have to pull a report for a list of meterials and if the unit of measure mainatined in material master does not match with the unit of measure in BOM , qty needs to be converted to Base Unit of measure. Where i will
find the conversion maintained in SAP.

Production order Unit of Messure-decimal rounding issue

Finished product is a Metal conveyor belt.
Material Base UoM is Links u2018LKu2019
Alternative UoM are:
10 link = 1 Feet
1 meter = 3.2808 Feet
Plant X800, (MTO) Sales orders created in meters. So production orders in Meters (MM02->work scheduling view->Production unit & Unit of Issue maintained in Meters)
Now Issue is:
If production order is 10 meters, this is converted to 328.084 LK. Physically shopfloor receives only 328 LKs after production.
Links cannot be in decimals. Inventory and Costing is done u2018per Linku2019.
This needs a decimal rounding to u20180u2019 value. Expectation will be 328 LK.
If the value is 1.49 then the rounding value will be u20181u2019 (< 0.5)
If the value is 1.5 then the rounding value will be u20182u2019 (>0.5)
Please help me. Is there a config Setting or a work around (user exit)?

Your requirement cannot be fulfilled by customization. Nor it can be perfectly implemented though BAdI's or Userexits.
The settings in CUNI only hide the decimal zeros but it won't prevent either users or programs to enter decimals. in R/3 quantity field uses the domain MENG13 so in your case, in the production order it will always display in decimals (eg 328.084 LK) .You can refer to note for more understanding about CUNI settings and IM postings 931971
Also the following threads:
UOM EA is taking data in decimals
The solution (this is more of workaround) I would suggest is you need to implement a BAdI WORKORDER_GOODSMVT in which it will round off according the logic you mentioned in your posts above. Also you need to implement a user exit for CO11N/CO11/15 to confirm the same yield according to the same rounding logic. Since yours is MTO you need to evaluate the impact of this in other areas mainly controlling and finance.

Unit of Measurement issue in COR6

dear all
while doing COR6.getting error "units of different dimensions can not be converted"
what this means and how can i solve it?
Edited by: Lakshmipathi on Sep 29, 2011 1:46 PM
Please use the subject effectively

Hi,
Are you using Z table for this? Check the MEINS field. Please check the tableT006T for the DIMID. Here observe what UOM is maintained. If the coversion of UOM is irrelavent also will get this type of error. Hope the above points taken care and solve the issue. Thanking you.

Unit of measure issue

Dear friends,
issue : for Unit of measure EA , decimal is allowed. i.e in sales order or PO system will allow 10.334 EA . I need it without Decimal.
issue resolution status: I have maintained NO decimal in T code CUNI for UOM EA. But till sytem allows Decimal . I tried with Fresh PO, SO, MB1C etc .
Please help me to resolve .

HI
In CUNI under Display area for Decemial Places see what is the valid number range maintained .
I think it is 0-14 , then input 0 instead of NO and try again

Unit Of Measue issue in Alternative Unit Of Measure

Dear All,
We have one issue regarding material volume which is having Base Unit Of Measure as 'L' - Litre.
Example: one material AAA is having BUoM as 'L' but this material volume is .002 M3. This value we can maintain in Basic Data but we are unable to maintain the same conversion in Alternative Unit Of Measue as 2 M3 - 1000 L.
When we are entering this value, by default - system is picking 1 M3 - 1000 L which is coming from T006 table - SI Unit of Conversion .
So how can i resolve this issue and what should i do to maintain 2 M3 - 1000 L.
Regards,
Durga Sana

Hi Srinath,
Thanks for your reply.
The same thing has been checked in CUNI there the standard conversion is maintained as follows..
1 KL = 1 M3 , 1 L = 0.001 M3 and 1 M3 = 1 M3.
Which is we are able to see in T006 SI Unit of conversion table.
If i change this standard conversion to 1 KL = 1 KL and 1 L = 1 L that means we are removing the relation between liter and M3 combination. Is this change may impact in any other transaction?..

Durga Sana...

EDI unit of measure issue

One of our customers orders a product in unit measure EA (each). Our stock-keeping unit is PL (pail). The output does get processed and issues message:
"PL is not assigned to an ISO unit of measure (item 000001, field VRKME)".
Even if I updated the table for PL, I'm almost certain it will be rejected by our customer because their system is expecting the line item to have unit of measure "EA".
I would appreciate suggestions as to how to address this issue.
Thank you,
bak

Hello,
In the SPRO --> IMG --> General Settings , you have measurement units setting. in this you have ISO code maintenance. Check whether PL is assigned here.

Unit of measure issue when PGI done through IDOC

Dear Experts
In my system PGI against outbound delivery is being done through inbound idocs in SAP. In my outbound delivery the sales unit is maintained as CS (Case) and BT (Bottle). The quantity in my delivery is 10 CS and 10 CS for both the line items. When IDOC is getting posted in SAP it has quantity as 10 in field LFIMG of segment E1EDL24 of IDOC type DELVRY07 for both the line items. We are not passing any unit in the field VRKME of segment E1EDL24 of the IDOC. The IDOC gets successfully posted but when I check the PGI document the it shows quantity as 0,417 CS and 0,0833 CS.
1 CS = 24 BT for material 10002616
1 CS = 12 BT for material 10002617
Base UoM for both the materials in the delivery is BT. What SAP is doing is converting the CS quantity in terms of base UoM. I have attached the PGI document and outbound delivery screenshot for reference.
After PGI the outbound delivery line item quantity changes as shown in the attachment.
Please let me know how to resolve this conversion issue so that I pass the same quantity as in my outbound delivery in IDOC and PGI should get posted with any change in quantity in my outbound delivery in terms of base UoM.
Thanks and Regards
Satish Kumar

Hello Sathish,
I have some information for you instead of solution.
First, Let me repeat my Understanding first,
Material Base UOM is BT.
But, Delivery Unit is CS. that I could see in Delivery Screen shot.
This Conversion will be carried to Delivery. We can see in Delivery item level that information.
Here the point that we need to remember is, Once the Delivery is created, the UOM will be carries down to Delivery tables ( LIKP, LIPS ). That means, For further Transactions, System uses the UOM which is carried down to the delivery.
So, During PGI, Delivery already with UOM CS, So, System posted the PGI in same UOM. But, When it comes to display, in your above screen shot, you can see both UOMs. i.e., UOM and Base UOM.
We have two lines here.
0.417 Qty and UOM as CS - First line - Because, your delivery is already in CS UOM.
10 Qty of Base UOM as BT - Second line - This is the conversion happened for PGI.
As of now, I do not see any issues with your delivery. It created UOM as CS. And, Posted UOM as CS.
I really do not understand the conversion issue that you have mentioned above. Now, Can you tell about your issue again.
For resolution, you need to run the fresh scenario again.

Sathish

Unit of Measure issue in WM.

Hello All,
I have the below issue.
Philippines we have a manufacturing industry, For material A, 35 cases = 1 PALLET (Maintained in Basic data)and Unit of issue at the warehouse is CS.
COLOMBO we have a distribution center. For the same material, we use a different storage unit type (PL). where 42 cases = 1PL (Maintained at WM2 view)
We had created an OBD for 35 Cases in COLOMBO. Fallowed by transfer order.
In the transfer order, we get it displayed as 1 PAL. As 35 cases = 1PAL (Defined in Material master data, Basic view1)
So in the TO print out, we get Material to be shipped as 1 PAL. As defined already in WM2 view of COLOMBO market, 1PL = 42 cases.
So there is a chance of shipping extra cases. In our case 7 cases are shipped additionally by mistake.
I had changed the master data in WM2 view as 35 cases as workaround. But we need a permanent fix as 42 cases.
Note as it is an import material from Philippines, we are not allowed to change the basic data (35 cases).
Kindly help me in this case.
Thanks and Regards,
Pranesh

Hi Pranesh,
Manufacturing unit is in Philippians so when they send the pallet to COLOMBO they send only 35 CS per pallet but how come the pallet which are stored in COLOMBO warehouse are having 42 CS per pallet
- Do you procure material A externally in COLOMBO which is having 42 CS per pallet
- After unloading the shipment from Philippians (at Colombo WH) before final putaway you physically transfer additional 7 CS on a pallet which is already having 35 CS and then do the putaway
Your query is more Operational / Business rather then technical and it is very important to know when manufacturing unit send 35 CS per pallet how come the distribution center is having 42 CS per pallet for the same material
As far as TO form are concern, if it is a custom TO form you can always change the logic in your program to display the Qty in CS as well as PAL to avoid confusion and educate the warehouse person

Unit of measure issue in Product Category Units Quota Planning

Hi experts,
My client needs to maintain quota for salespersons based on R/3 product hierarchy level. (1000 kg of Product Hierarchy Level 01234 per month, 2000 KG of Product Hierarchy Level 56789 per month, vs.). R3PRODHIER is the category assigned to Sales application.
So in Quota Planning, sub-assignment block Product Category Units, I want to maintain quotas. I press Add button, mark the Hierarchy level I'd like to plan quota to, and press Choose button, but "Unit of Measure" field does not fill up. Surprisingly, in the dropdown list, there is not an option which I can select (i.e. 'KG'). The list is empty, even after I fill Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 values. So, I am not able to use the quota planning functionality.
Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?
Thanks for your time,

Hi Kivanc,
I see exactly one year ago (almost to the minute) you posted this solution.
I am having exactly the same issue as you had. I also assumed the problem lay in ECC with unit of measure having to be defined at that same level.
I have asked our SD team about this and they are not maintaining units of measure at higher levels of the hierarchy, only on the product itself.
Our units of measure will be EA, TO, KG
So how do I get around this? I don't completely understand what you have explained in your solution.

Kendal

IW42 and unit of entry/issue

Hi,
For a material having a base unit of measure different from a unit of issue and for an order (without component assigned) : when doing IW42, after entering the material code, the system uses the base unit of measure while i would like the unit of issue to be used.
Is there any missing configuration?
Thanks,
P.

Hi Pete,
In my case : i have a material with base unit of measure as RL (reel) and unit of issue as M (meter) with 1 RL = 100M.
When doing IW42 (in reference to an order without component assigned) : i enter the material code and quantity , and press ENTER : the unit which appears here is RL while i expect M....
Any idea ?

Sony Head Unit and iPod Issue

I just got the Sony Xplod CDX GT620IP head unit installed the other day and I'm pretty happy with it. The only problem is that I have the iPod Ready Feature (allows you to control iPod through the head unit). I plan on keeping an iPod in the glove compartment so that I have a hard drive full of music waiting in the car. However, when I turn the head unit and car off, the iPod is in the idle state, but displays "You may safely disconnect the device" even though the head unit no longer powers the iPod. When everything is off, the iPod will remain on until the battery dies out or if it's unplugged. I don't want to unplug the iPod, I just want it to shut down when the unit is turned off. Is there a way to fix this?
EDIT: I have an iPod Nano, iPod Video, and the iPod touch, all of which experience the same problems (not turning off).If you have solutions for any of them, I'd be happy to know. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,
Just signed up to these forums having done a google search for this same problem! I'm in the UK and this is affecting my 2008 CDE-9880R in exactly the same way Adrian describes - highly annoying having purchased this unit to avoid this kind of problem! So much for an Alpine/Apple collaboration!
I am currently resorting to the 'pause' function on the headunit before keying off the ignition. Although I spoke to an Alpine tech guy at Alpine UK on the phone today and he is sending out another small lead that apparently goes inline with the current lead. He mentioned something about the headunit not recognising 80gb classics properly??? Not sure whether this will fix the problem but I'll keep you posted. I think a firmware issue is more likely to be the problem. At least Alpine seem to be aware of the problem and not just fobbing people off.
Cheers,
Mark.
