UOM in Material Master

Hi,
Is it true that i cant change the UOM of material (base unit) even if there exist PO and PR for that material ( even though these are not open)? There are no scheduling aggrement too. The stock of material is 0 for this period as well as previous period. I tried to change the UOM for this material but the system gave error that the UOM cannot be change.
Dinakar

You can only change the base units of measure under the following circumstances
1.No stocks are available for the material.
2. There are no existing purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material.
3 At present, no purchase orders or purchase order items are being created or changed.
Run MM02 (Change Material Master immediately). - Overwrite the old base unit of measure with the new one in basic data screen. - Save the change. - System checks If a change criterion (MM02) is meeting all necessary prerequisites (as mentioned in above .System allows changing base unit of measure.
Otherwise it displays warning or error. You can display the reason for this, by choosing Display Errors (ctrl+F1) .in that take those purchase requistions and purchase orders and close it.then try again.
Generally it will be difficult to change Base UOM,intead of that you can mark that material for deletion and goahead in creatin a new material with new UOM as base UOM.
Hope it helps

Hi Satyajit,
Please look at OSS Note 1069560 - Data inconsistencies: Activating integration. models in parallel, if this helps you.
Since Gross data of material is in the basic view, it is common across plants , whereas, IMs are normally designed to have material masters at plant level.
We may have same material in different IMs with different plants. Therefore changes of the basic view fields are then contained in multiple IMs. SAP advises to have a larger IM or sequential activation of IMs.
I hope this will help you .

PP: Production Order Qty UOM should be based on the sales order Qty UOM though having Alternate UOMs in material master

Hello PP GURUS I am new to this and i have one issues. I.e., While creating the Production Order, want the unit in the production order should be based on the sales order unit instead of what has been defined in the material master. Since, having 3-4 alternate unit of a material & can create a Sales Order in any one of them.
Also pls let me how to go through
either with the help of ABAP or configuration.
If it is with the configuration pls let me know the solution to arrive.
Eg: Base UOM is KGS
Alt UOMs: SQM, MTR, NOS
Sale order is Prepared with SQM and the same shall be in production order too to produce qty.
Pls help me.
rgds,
Kumar V

Hi
First you have to maintain alternate units in mateial master for that first go in additional data & maintain the alternate units as below..
For example
1200 M2=1 KG For SQM
12 M=1 KG For MTR
3 PC=1 KG For NOS
And then you can get Sales unit field in sales data 1 view enter your sales unit in that field & you will get production unit in work scheduling views as per your desire production units and according to that units your sale order & production order will pick that units & you can proceed accordingly but remember that first maintian the conversion factor as above other wise it will not accept hope that it will help you have a nice day...

Idoc segments for additional UOM in material master

HI, I have three questions
a) we have the follwoing data defined in material master (additonal data)
X UOM Y UOM EAN
1 LITRES 1 LITRES NIL
1 IGB (inner packg) 20 LITRES 345922222222
1 GBE (packg) 20 LITRES 345922222222
I need to know what is EAN no and in our case the EAN no is same for both inner packg and pack. . what does this mean. Sometimes we also see the EAN no is different. why... what it signifies ?
2) We have outbound idoc trigerred from delivery. message type is WHSOD. in one of the segments (E1EDL24), the system shows the delivery qty and material no. This segment also shows the EAN NO AS 345922222222. In segment E1EDL26, the filed UMVKZ shows as 1 which is ok (numerator as shown above) but the numerator field shows 1 only (it does not show 20 litres,, i think the field name is UB something ).
I need to know why the system is not showing 20 litres in numerator in the filed for segment E1EDL26.
3) Had we have two different EAN in material master as above, did our standard message type would have shown the conversion factors (numerator and denomi ) as per the EAN nos.....If yes, then in which segments ,the WHSORD shows the Conversion factors based on different EAN nos in material master-UOM tab (for instance if 1 GBE (packg) = 30 LITRES and EAN IS 345911111111.... I think there will be as many segments in idoc as there are entries in Additonal data-UOM tab )

Hi,
As for as i know EANs are not relevant to unit conversion. This is a number which uniquely identifies a material for a particular UoM.
And regarding the numerator and denominator, check whether any logic is added in the corresponding segment which overwrites the value

Change UOM in Material Master Problem

Hi all expert,
Im trying to change a raw material UOM from KG to Liter in material master, i have deleted all the document related to the raw material, but when i change the UOM, it display message as below:
Material Master Maintenance
The base unit of measure cannot be changed.
The reasons for this are:
Independent requirements are already assigned to the material.
Plant MRP area
   JK01
I can't find the independent requirements so can't delete it.
Hope someone can give me advise.
Very thanks for help.

You can also see the planned ind. req. for your material from Txn. MD63
If you delete the ind. reqs. no longer appear when you access via trans.
MD62/MD63. However, the records are still in table PBIM with a
deletion flag set on field LOEVR, so, you have to do the planned
independent requirements reorganization as described in note 135807.
I hope this can help you !!!

Change of UOM in material master?

Dear SAPIENTS,
I created a material with UOM (M)just now and than assigned to inspection plan. Now I am changing the UOM of material to Nos.. I was getting following
Error: The base unit of measure cannot be changed
The reasons for this are
Routings already exist that are assigned to the material.
   RType          RtgGrp            GpC         Plant
   Q             QRW6MTQT        1            1100
SO I removed the material from inspection plan. But still I am getting the same error. Can anybody tell me the reason behind it?
Regards,
Kaushal Rai

Hi Kaushal,
You need to delete it from the table also.
The table is MAPL
To delete entry from table
   1. Run trx SE16n (preferable) or SE16.
   2. Enter the Table MAPL.
   3. Enter the group and counter number.
   4. Now in the command window (Where you type the T Codes) type "_&sap_edit_". And press enter.
   5. A message such "SAP editing function is activated" will flash.
   6. Execute
   7. Delete the entry.
Then change the UOM

Change UOM in Material master

Hi friends,
I have a material X in Plant ABC and Plant XYZ.
I have no open PR's and PO's for those materials.
I have received 10 Ea in Plant ABC on 10/20/09 ( Current stock is 10 ea in ABC)
                   and 20 Ea in Plant XYZ on 11/12/2009.( Current stock is 20 ea in XYZ)
Now I wanted to change the UOM from EA to LB.
I did issue (GM 201) 10 Ea from ABC and 20 Ea from XYZ. So, in MMBE no stock was showing.
Still, when i try to change UOM, it was erroring that "Stock exist in Plant ABC and Plant XYZ" ????
Any Idea, why so.
Appreciate your valuable feed back.
Note: I could change the UOM once I canceled the previous material documents to make sure Zero stock.
But, Why I could not be able to change when I issue (GM 201) and made zero stock????
Regards,
Dev.

Hi,
According to your explanation the condition has gone through as below scenarios:
You have received 10 Ea in Plant ABC on 10/20/09 ( Current stock is 10 ea in ABC)
and 20 Ea in Plant XYZ on 11/12/2009.( Current stock is 20 ea in XYZ)
You've issued 10ea in plant ABC on 11/23/09 (GM 201)
and you've I issued 20 ea in plant XYZ on 11/23/09 (GM201)
From the above, I conclude your current period is 11/2009 (November) and for solving the case on:
Plant ABC. --> cancel your GI (mvt 202) for 10ea with the same current date 11/23/09 then follow by
                        GI with the previous posting period 10/30/09
Plant XYZ --> display material stock with MM03 under storage location stock tab for previous period stock info.
                       then you should GI for relevant qty that you've seen onto previous period posting date.
Hope it may helps you...
Cheers,
Girang

UoM is different from UoM in Material Master

Hi CCM experts,
In CCM2.0 , the UoM is showing Internal Unit of measurment and but we normally maintain in MM as Commercial UoM.
Can we synch this UoM with CCM with Commecial UoM.
Because of this Shoppers/Users are confusing while adding Item from the Catalog.
There is no iisue after adding the item.UoM is converting automatically to Commercial unit.
Currently we are transferring records from MM by using custom Interface prog.
Can any body tell me the solution.
Greatly appreciated
CK

Hello,
One solution I would like to suggest:
Create a custom table (Z table) and maintain your Internal Unit of measurment and Commercial UoM.Ask user/shoppers to put Internal Unit of measurment and while run time in the program pick up the Commercial UoM.
Hope this will work.
Best regards,
Vivek

Material Master UOM

Hi all.
I want to create a material master for a SHEET METAL, whose dimensions vary based upon the thickness and size(Lengthxbreadth).
Now, what is the logic for maintaining UOM in Material Master. Because if i maintain the UOM in NOS (for ex 4mm thick sheet is created as a material code and maintained in NOS), where Thickness x Length x Breadth is maintained in DIMENSIONS in Basic data view, i am facing some problem.
Think that the sheet metal is cut upto certian part (for ex say roughly a quarter is cut) and taken for production then how can i do the GI for the same? What will be the stock changes? If i need to do the GI I need to issue it in NOS. How can i break it during GI and i m totally confused to handle it.
Please give some inputs. All i need is i need to maintain a material master for SHEET METALS with various thickness and need to map the goods issues in various dimensions (Any amount of part will be cut and taken for production)
Regards,
Raj

Hi,
Thanks for your instant reply but what is the Basic UOM measure i need to maintain and how can i do the Goods Issues for partially cut parts. I know that the dimensions are maintained in Additinal data in Basic data view.
Thanks in advance
Raj.

GR is being done in Kgs while the Base Uom of material is PC how is done.

Hello
I want to raise PO for a material which has been Base uom is PC but the GR is being done in KG's. There is no fixed relation between PC and Kg's.
how can we handle this situation.
Regards
Sameer

Hi Sameer
SAP facilitates multiple UOMs.
In Material master, you shd have these settings:
1) Base UOM = PC
2) In purchasing view : Either maintain order unit = KG and/or maintain variable order unit field with '1' or '2'.
How is the ocnversion handled:
1) Maintain Alternate UOMs in Material master; When you maintain order unit=KG, system will prompt you to enter conversion between KG & PC
2) Maintain order unit as KG and conversion in Info record for the material.
3) Maintain order unit as KG in PO and you can maintain conversion in PO

can anybody please tell me how we can pull the units from the units of measure tab of the additonal data data tab of the material master?
Thanks

UoM conversion error while loading Material Master

Hi,
Our Legacy system is also SAP (lower version) and we're trying to move the data to ECC6.0. We're using MATMAS_MASS_BAPI03 to move Material master records.
All the Alternative UoM to be moved with 'no change'. Everything gets moved except for LBs and FT3s and we get message 'UoM Conversions are inconsistent'.
I entered LBs, for example, online in the new system and found that conversion factors (NUmerator and Denominator) were indeed different.
Legacy LB: Numerator - 4756 and Denominator - 65113
New System LB: Numerator - 2564 and Denominator - 35103
If you have noticed, we will get the same result if you divide Numerator by Denominator.
Note: KG values were same in the both systems without any issue.
What should we do to get it right?
Best Regards,
Ram

Hi,
While loading attributes U have to select the transfer structure of the 0MATERIAL_ATTR then activate it..now proceed if it is already replicated in to BW system... other wise first do that..then go ahead....Similar to Text also...
