UOM and Alternative UOM

Hi All,
  Please clarify this, is the UOM is based on Material type if it is then we have to find UOM and alternative UOM based on material type.
Regards,
Babu

UOM is the base unit of measure which exists in Basic view of material. This is the least possible unit defined for a material. FOr example Piece PC or ST
Alternative unit of measures are the other unit of measures used in different views of material master. Issue unit, order unit or Sales unit....We have to maintain the conversion of these Alternate UOM's and Uom's in MM01 or MM02. Material UOM's are stored in MARM table.
Alternate UOM could be BAG or PAC or CS (case)...
Conversions are like BAG = 10 PC where PC is the base unit of measure and BAG is the alternate unit of measure.

  • Report for material and alternative UOM

    Hi Guru's
    is there ant transaction/standard report where i can see the list of materials and alternative UOM
    Thankyou

    Hi,
    No such standard report available in SAP to see for many materials. in MM03 under Additional Data, you can see but material wise.
    Better use table MARM to see the same and create an ABAP Query of Report using this table.

  • Unit of measure problem between Order UOM, Base UOM and Inspetion UOM

    Material: ROH-001
    Base UOM: Meter
    Order UOM: Kilogram
    Inspection UOM: Roll
    I have already maintained conversion factor in material master between meter and kilogram.
    Is there any way to maintain KG in inspection plan header level and Roll in inspeciton plan operation level?
    I tested, but the sample quantity is not as expected. Below is my testing data, please advise, thanks.
    10 KG = 1,989 M
    100 KG = 1 Roll
    GR: 100,000 KG = 198,900,000 M
    Sample size = 200 Roll  (My expected sample size is 50 Roll)
    Sampling plan:
       Lot size                  Sample size           c1                 d1
                   8            5     0     1

  • Sales order with differing order UoM and pricing UoM

    Hi
    I need to create a sales order where the unit of measurement for the ordered quantity differs from the unit of measurement in the pricing condition PR00. This works fine if you have a fixed conversion, because you can simply set up the conversion in the material master of the sold material. My problem is that this conversion is flexible and can be changed by the sales representative. How do I do this? I remember that this isn't a problem at all in MM-purchase orders, you simply enter the conversion in the conditions tab directly. That doesn't seem to work in sales. Any hints?
    Example for spreading services for farming.
    Sales order for service "spreading", order qty = 17.600 HA, price = 21.00 GBP per 1 KGH (kilogram per hectar), conversion = 17.600 HA = 723 KGH if 12.720 KG of fertilizer is spread on the field. Problem is that tonnage and the field size are changeable. As well the theoretical application rate of 723KGH can be overwritten manually as required.
    thx
    Bj

    Make sure the quantity conversion flags are checked, and then allow manual condition processing.  This should open up the fields to allow for manual adjustment of the quantity relationship.
    You will still need to maintain a default UoM ratio that will be proposed on the sales order, but that relationship will then be able to be changed at order entry time (or after save in change mode).

  • Sales Uom And Packaging Uom(Sales)

    Hi experts
    My company sales seed packaged in Packets(pkt) as well as Bales
    A bale has 12 packets. How can I set up so that when one enters for example 2 bales, this should automatically be equated to 24packets. I have set the inventory UoM to packets(pkt)
    When I set the Sales Uom to Pkt and set Items per sales Unit to 12, SBO does not allow me to sell for example 3 pkts
    Again if is set Bales as a packaging Uom(sales), When I type 3 bales for example in the no of Packages, it has no effect the quantity of packets
    How do i set up so as to be able to sell both pkts and bales and have the inventory updated correctly

    Hi Ezekiel,
                      You can set the Sales UoM as Pkt and in the Item per sales unit, you can select as 12 (according to the example that you have given). While adding sales order document, if you want to sell the item as 2 bales = 24 packets, just select the Base Units frm the Form settings and select no (it comes as default), which will reduce your stock wth 24 and if you want the to sell only 2 paclets, select the Base units as Yes. Try and run this in test database, it will clear your doubts. Hope this helps.

  • Relation between UOM and alternate unit of measure

    Hi,
    I have a reqmnt whereby the conversion factor between base UOM and alternate UOM varies every day of purchase. Now the conversion factors are uually kept fixed in material master. How to tackle this scenario.

    Hi Indraneel,
    According to your requirment the updation of  UOM and  Alternate Uom must be coming from some where
    Prepare a custome table  by means it linked wth external source(i.e where you get the updated  varies)
    And whenever you call that material ,  the converstion will pick from that table for particular date

  • Stock report in alternative UoM

    Hi we are maintaining the stock of our FG in PCs as a base UoM . But our sales and distribution dept needs a sotck in alternative UoMs also
    Eg 10 Pc = 1 Box , and 120 Box = 1 Case likewise
    They needs the stock in Boxes and cases also
    I have maintained conversion in Material Master , but I do not find any report which shows me these alternative UoMs
    Please tell me is there any such report available

    Hi Bhushan,
    You will have to go in for Z report. In MB51 you can see only by movement type & also Unit of Entry & Base UoM.
    In MMBE per material, you can change the UoM & see the stocks, but this will be material by material & not for a range of materials.
    Read the data from MARD, MARM tables & also if you're maintaining special stocks, refer to MSPR, MCHB etc.
    Hope the above helps.

  • ISO UoM vs USA UoM for SO and Transfer Order

    Hi to All,
    I've an issue  that I must resolve urgently!!!  So, I hope in your precious advices.
    Case: Customer Model: Holding with european company codes and americans ones.
    The corporate is an Italian Company. So, Materials Master Data are created centrally at Italian Company; consequently the Base Unit of Measure in which stocks of the material are managed (Master Data: view Basic data 1) is expressed in ISO UoMs( Kg, dm3....).
    I have the necessity to use also american UoMs so I've created in Additional Data -> Unit of Measure  alternative TU and CU using USA  UoMs for the dimensions (lb, "3....) in corrispondence to europeanTU and CU.
    I can use them on Sales Order, and Transfer Order with type ZT02 STO Cross Company but I can't use them for ZT01 STO from APS: Transfer order intra- company becouse as default the Base Unit of Measure is used.
    Does it exist a way to convert the Base Unit of Measure expressed in ISO UoMs to USA UoMs for dimensions without modyfing the Base Unit of Measure set in Master Data: view Basic data 1?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    If you want to create any transaction with only alternative unit of measure  you don't active variable active unit of measure in purchasing view of material master. In this field take not active.
    Variable Active unit:
    When you required to create any transaction with both unit of measure  base unit and alternetive unit of measure you active it and if you want to create transaction with only alternative unit you don't active it.
    NOTE: - In case of Purchase order system take order unit of measure(In Purchasing view) and for stock transfer order take unit of issue(Plant Data1) - If variable active unit is off.

  • Alternative UOM in product overview(/n/sapapo/pov1)

    Hi,
    In the product overview,we can see the product quantities in base UOM. our requirement is,we have to see Alternative UOM.
    How to get this?
    Thanks & Regards
    Akthar

    Dear Akthar,
    you can define in /sapapo/mat1on ATB tab a "Display Unit". Here you can choose your alternative UOM and then while displaying the quantites your Alternative UOM will be used.
    On PP/DS area if you want to use a particular unit of measure for certain products that is different to the base unit of measure, you must have maintained a production unit in the product master. Choose Master Data -> Product. You can maintain a production unit on the PP/DS tab page in the Units of Measure group frame.

  • Planing in COPA in alternative UoM

    Hi all,
    a question : Is it possible to plan in COPA in alternative UoM.The stock keeping unit is EA, but unfortunately the planning department wants to plan in KG. Conversion between the UoM's  is maintained in Material master.The project itself is a roll-out and COPA is pre-configured. There is 2 value fields in the operating concern that can store the data for volume in those two UoM
    Also I saw in TC KEDR , that a step" Clear " is customized to clear all the postings in the value field where KG volumes are posted.From conditions there i remove the our company code, but w/o any success. Whatever I have posted to the KG value field without any conversion is moved / reposted in value field for EA.
    Can you help me with this.
    Thank you for your time.

    Hi Maria
    In my opinion, you should not remove the entry of your company code from KEDR
    In the conditions, you should put condition as "BUKRS <> XXXX", where XXXX = your company code... This means, the derivation step will run only if the company code is Not Equal to Your company code

  • Using Alternative UOM in transaction VA21

    We want to use alternative UOM for Hydrocarbon Product during creation of a quotation using transaction VA21 and document type QT so that user can change the Alternative UOM say in KG or L15 or change the temperature and density of the material.
    Grateful if anyone provides a solution.

    Hi!
    Please solve:
    In Material Master for material HSD02, Base UOM is L15 and Sales Unit is KL.
    Earlier in Additional Data, 1 KL <= 1000 L15 is stored.
    Now I want to chage the conversion factor as 1 KL <= 987.9 L15 or 10 KL <= 9879 L15.
    Hence I wanted to delete the earlier entry with 1 KL <= 1000 L15  and tried to maintain 10 KL <= 9879 L15.
    This is not allowed. On saving the change again earlier entry 1 KL <= 1000 L15 appears in Additional Data -> Unit of Measure.
    Thanks in anticipation.

  • Alternative UoM in HU monitor screen

    Hi Expert,
    I have a problem regarding the Alternative UoM in Handling Unit monitor screen (HUMO).
    We use alternative UoM to manage the material in our plant. and all the material is in Handling Unit management. for example, 1bag = 13kg.  when we sale it in bag unit of measure.
    we can display  stock with different UoM with transaction LS26. but we can not display the material in UoM "bag" in HUMO transaction.
    SO the sale people need to calculate it manually and convert them to bag since we use HU manage it.
    Do anyone have the same situation?
    Thanks
    Rocky

    It is not possible to view alternate UOM in HUMO,another option to see th HU stock in location MMBE by giving alternate UOM.
    For end user to see the stock alternative UOM then you need to write aABAP query to put some logic to show alternative UOM qty or develop a new report.

  • APO SNP Planning Book Show Product View alternative UoM

    Hi,
    I have a base UoM of BTL and an alternative UoM of CAS.
    I can change/save in my users settings the in transactions /SAPAPO/RRP3 (Product View) and /SAPAPO/SDP94 (Planning Book) to show the alternative UoM CAS as default.
    The problem I have is when I enter the Planning Book, load a product, right click on the product (in Selected Objects), select Show Product View and then look at the stock tab, this always shows as the base UoM BTL.  Can this be saved to show the alternative UoM CAS?

    Hi Linda,
    Try changing you user settings for a product in RRP3 Screen.
    Page Menu --> Settings -->General Tab -->General Panel -->enter AUOM value (CAS in your case).
    Note - The conversion only takes place for the products, for which the alternative unit of measure entered is also entered as the alternative unit of measure in the product master, or for the products, for which the base unit of measure has the same dimension as the alternative unit of measure.
    Caution: Test it , how its affecting for other products which doesnt have CAS as AUOM.
    All products which have BUOM as BTL will be changed to CAS when AUOM is maintained for them in product master.
    Thanks

  • Sample Quantity to be in alternative Uom

    Dear QM Gurus,
    We have a material which has basic uom as KG. We will be maintaining the alternative uom as PCS and conversion factor as 1KG = 1330 PCS in Material master. Now we want sample quantity in the inspection lot to be created in alternative uom instead of basic uom. Already we maintained PCS in inspection plan header level & MIC. But still the sample quantity is coming in KG.
    Kindly guide me to solve this issue.
