Units of measure and conversion factor

while executing a session, I get the message 'Please check units of measure and conversion factor', what does it indicate? there are fields like order unit, conversion (purchasing) in creating info records transaction ME11.

in bdc when ever u r working with quantity and price fields it is better to move this fields in to string and do the concatenation kind of stuff..............
reward points if helpful................

Proposal.:.Multiple Purchase Unit of Measure and pricing

The objective of this message is to start a discussion around procurement unit of measure and pricing.
Currently, some of our clients are facing the following limitation:
- They stock an item in a specific unit of measure (let say metre)
- They buy in a different unit of measure (let say unit).
In this scenario, we have a conversion factor of 6 for example so when we order 1 unit, the system will stock 6 metres.
The issue is that the pricing in SAP Business One for procurement is expressed in stocking unit of measure. It means that we do not have any possibility to enter the price by unit. For example, if in my purchase price list I enter $10 for one unit, on the purchase order, SAP will calculate if I buy 1 unit: $10 x 6 = $60. This is obviously wrong.
The second issue is that I can buy the same product from 3 suppliers but in 3 different UoM (one supplier will sell it in unit, another one in metre and another one in pack of 10). The system can not accomodate this business scenario.

Vincent

quite late, but I faced the same issue with a window-maker company. They buy alumium bars (different lenghts) and keep them and worked them in meters.
What we do was use the Production module, and define a new BoM item (bar_meter), so when they buy 1 bar (6.4 meters) and they want to use it, they create a production order to create 6.4 new bar_meters. Then they used as many meters as needed to make the window.

Billing Factor and Conversion Factor..

Hi All,
While understanding meter reading estimation, I found two factors that are being used - Billing Factor and Conversion Factor. Please could anyone let me know where these billing factor and conversion factors are stored. I understand that the Register factor is maintained at the register level. I would like to know where the billing factor and the conversion factor get stored and how are they set per business rules of the industry.
Thanks in advance,
Yuvi.

Yuvi:
I am confused by your statements. Estimation works for all utility service scenarios, like electric, gas, water, etc. The differences are in the billing rules, the measurement details, and some conversion information. You also define the period details for estimation - do you use the previous period or the same period previous year. The unbilled scenario you describe is executed the same for any service type. The readings are checked, the estimation rules are evaluated and then an estimated reading is determined. The conversion factor and billing factor could be independent of the estimation logic which determines the reading. But that reading, based upon the device details, could be multiplied to determine a billing quantity. It might also be converted from the unit of measure for the reading to the unit of measure for billing eg. ccf > mcf.
You should be able to find documentation on unbilled calculations, as well as estimation.

bill.

Alternate unit of measure and its impact on CO module

Hi
We are in CPG company, our client has decided to use CAR (i.e. Carton) as base unit of measure and TO (tonnage) as alternate unit of measure. CO users and client management wants to run planning, allocation and CO-PA analysis in TO (tonnage).
Some of activities like cost estimates will be run using CAR. We have come to know that we might have to use COPA0005 enhancement.
We need to know how it will impact CO module as TO is not base unit of measure for finished goods?
Thanks in advance.
Chris

Thanks Ajay for your reply. My point is that we need to know the impact on CO module because our Client will use CAR (carton) as base unit of measure and CO users have to use TO (tonnage) for planning, allocation, profitability analysis, etc.
We will define the UoM conversion relationship in material master, say 1 TON = 125 CAR.
We have come to know that cost estimate can only be run using base unit of measure (i.e. CAR) so client will have to run cost estimate using CAR.
What about other functionality like allocations, planning, CO reports, etc. What will be the impact on CO module as TO is not the base unit of measure and our client have to use TO for allocations, reporting, CO-PA, etc.

Supplement Units of Measurement and Units of Measure

Unit of measure and mb1a issue

Dear Experts,
In our plant we are using Tape BOPP for taping the Boxes. So please tell me if we want to use unit of measurement as EA then what should we mentioned the component qty for one box in EA. At present our company has maintained the component qty as 0.4 EA for 1 box.
And following the conversion factor which are maintained in mm01 through additional data screen.
1 ROL = 1 ROL
65 meter = 1 ROL
1 EA = 1 ROL
But while doing mb1a system is taking the qty as 1 EA instead of 0.4 EA. please suggest how to overall this problem.
Regards,
Phalgun patel

The problem is that reservation is always made in the basic unit of measure (EA), which have no decimals in the standard SAP.
You must choose between:
a) using the smaller unit of measure (meters) as suggested by SAP, and EA an altenative UoM
b) define a new UoM called ED or similar (transaction CUNI), which a copy of EA but allowing decimal places.
Regards

Alternate unit of Measure and tolerances

Hi,
Is it possible to map alternate UoM like 1 EA= 100-110 KG.
I.e. the if weight of my component is between 100 to 110 KGs then the equivalent in UoM EA is 1.
Prashant

Hi,
Its not possible to maintain the alternate unit of measure as a range...the conversion has to be done in exact numeric terms...no scales....

Dual Unit of Measure and valuation problem in SAP for Diamond module

1. Handling of Dual Unit of Measure. In case if you take Diamond Jewellery, which is having Gold portion as well Diamond portion, we would like to keep UOM for gold portion as Grams and Carats for Diamond portion. As informed by our implementation team (Wipro), handling dual UOM for the same article seems to be not possible in SAP due to product limitations. As this feature is very basic for jewellery industry, we would like to know how SAP can address this business need in SAP.
2. We would like to show Gold & Diamond separately in Valuation for the same article, which is again seems to be product limitation.
As the above 2 issues are fundamental elements in our business, please look into the above issues and give us some solution immediately.

Mr.Rao,
Although I do not much about your business needs and the processes that you are configuring, this is what I understand from your explanations:
1. You design and make jewellery out of Gold and Diamonds. Here I believe that the designer would be knowing how much of Gold and Diamond will go into the making of a jewellery.
2. You would like to valuate the stock based on the gold/diamond gone into each. Each piece of jewellery is unique in itself as its contents may minutely vary for the gold content.
In such a situation, I would suggest considering configuring Variant Configuration. With this, you will be able to maintain different values of diamond/gold for each piece of jewellery at the time of Sales Order/Production Order/Prod.Order confirmation etc. Your manufacturing cost will be at actuals based on the consumption posted during the Prod.Order confirmation. Each piece of jewellery will be unique with few Material Masters.
Hope this helps.

Best Unit of Measurement for Conversion

I'm creating a class with that does a lot of conversion(miles to kilometers, feet to yards, meters to miles).
What is the type of number to use?:
1. int
2. double
3. f oat
4. long
and obvioulsy not an int.

There's almost never any point in using float unless you were in a very limited memory environment.
Int and long don't make sense, since these are non-integer quantities.
You could use BigDecimal, but this isn't money, so the fixed decimal precision is probably unnecessary.
I'd go with double.

Alternate Unit of Measure

We have a material where the base unit of measure is in BOX. An alternative UOM is defined as 11 lb = 1 box. In the info record the price is 948.93 per 100 lbs. When a PO is created we will order 6 boxes. The purchase order unit of measure = BOX and the order price unit = LB. When the PO prints it displays a quantity of 6 with price unit of LB. The PO needs to display either 6 BOX or 66 LB. At this point I am wondering if data is entered incorrectly because when a PO is created the following warning message appears "Please check units of measure and conversion factor" message no. 06340.

Looks like OPU is not defined in Material Master as alternative UoM. You only have this conversion appearing in info record. Hence when you create order, you see this warning message.
Maintain all alternative UoMs in Material Master this warning message will not appear.
How PO prints depends on how it is designed, with help of ABAPer, you can modify as required.

BOM Unit Different from Base Unit of Measure

Dear PP Experts,
I have following Scenario in some of wires which are .
Base Unit of Measure - Coil
Conversion Factor
1 Coil - 100 Metres (Already Maintained in mm01)
Suppose, one manufacuring item consist of 0.5 Metre of Wire. We want to use Metre in BOM, how can we use it.
Please help, full points if helped.
Ishu

Dear,
In material master you maintin alternate unit as meter in plant data/storage 1 as unit of issue This will default this unit in BOM item
In the BOM, in the component enter the above material code and enter the qty as 0.5. system will default meter as the unit of measure in BOM.
Please come back if required

Multiple Units of Measurements for a single item

Hi all,
How do I maintain multiple units of measurements for a single Item/ I have a scenario where purchase orders are being made for sand in Metric Tons, Tons, Kgs and Cubit Feets. Each measurement is being used at each construction site of the company but the item is single sand. One more problem is here with the material reconciliation of stock since it is maintained in different units of measurement and conversion from unit to other is problematic.
Thanks
