UOM issue

hi,
Here I am explaining the issue
In system A -
material A001
Base unit of measure = EA
In system A u2013
material A001
Base unit of measure = PC
UOM is maintained differently between SYSTEM A and B.
In B we have maintained additional unit of measure LIKE 1EA = 1PC
Initially we were trying to correct the UOM as EA instead of PC so to match with A system, but that is not possible to change.
In system A they have not maintained additional UOM like as above PC=EA. And it is not possible to maintain they have told due to PC is not available as UOM in the A system.
SYSTEM A side they confirmed that SO got generated in A system without any issue.
After SO generated in A, buyer supposes to find an order acknowledgement in PO in SYSTEM B, but that is missing. So there is I-DOC fail.
so i check the error of IDOC, i found error message 'Order units differ'. Standard code to check VALUE OF UOM OF idoc(seg E1EDP01-MENEE). It used function module 'IDOC_INPUT_ORDRSP' -> subroutines 'maintain_data_ordrsp' like 'IF yekpo-meins NE fekpo-meins.' .
Can anybody adivise me how to fix this error?
thank you !!!!!

Hi SS,
You can not change the UOM once the P.O.are closed. u can use alternative conversions method.

Excise UOM Issue

Hi All
I am facing the UOM issue while creating excise invoice. Actually my client is creating Commercial invoice in Sqm & excise Invoice in KG i.e. different UOM for comm & excise invoice. Now when i create excise invoice through J1IIN, I cannot change the UOM from sqm to kg.
Please suggest how can i make different UOM in excise & comm invoive.
I have maintained both these UOMs along with the conversion factor in material master.
Thanks
Rishi

Hi Rishi,
Can you pls explain the exact process of creating excise invoice with different UoM as im also facing the same problem.
Which document u have taken as reference? I tried taking billing document but its not accepting the values. Pls reply.

Alternative UoM issue

Hi Gurus
material A - Base UoM = LB
component B - Base UoM = LB, Alt UoM = PC (conversion 1PC = 10 LB)
I am trying to create a BOM (CS01) for material A: with components B.
And I'm receiving this error:
Unit of measure PC not supported for material B in plant 000X
Message no. 29175
Diagnosis
You have entered a unit of measure for a component or variable-size item which is not defined.
System Response
The unit of measure entered is checked against settings in the IMG (Global settings -> Unit of measurement). This table contains all the units of measure that are supported in the system.
If the item is a material, the system also checks whether the entered unit of measure corresponds to the unit of issue or base unit of measure in the material master.
For variable-size items, the item entry screen and the overview also allow the you to enter the unit "piece" (Var-size item unit).
Procedure
Check your entries.
Delete your entry for the unit of measure.
If you have entered a material as an item, the system enters the unit of issue from the material master, if there is one. If not, the base unit of measure from the material master appears.
If no material is entered in the item, the system takes the unit "piece" as a default.
Can someone please help me in resolving this issue? Thanks

dear friend,
you could run MM02 for your component B on plant 000X and add the unit of measure PC (in 'Units of measure' TAB)
good luck

UoM issue due to multiple backend systems

Hi All,
We have multiple backend systems hooked up with the SRM system. One issue that we have is that many of the UoMs are different in the backend systems. For example, for THOUSANDS, we have TH and THO in different systems. As part of optimization we intend to include only 1 entry per UoM in SRM box.
The problem is if we put TH as the unit, then if it is chosen by a user linked to the backend system that does not have this Commercial unit, then the Shopping Cart fails when trying to create a follow-on document.
Any advice how we can get this resolved will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards
Gaurav

Hi Gaurav,
Common problem when using multiple back-ends, which can be resolved rather easily. The best way to solve this is by a business change. That isu2026. synchronize the use of the UoMu2019s throughout the organization. This would be the most elegant solution. All back-ends will then have the same valueu2019s in their respective CUNI tables.
Off course the feasibility of this will depend on your organizational structure and the hitting the u2018right stringsu2019 in order to get every one to understand the importance of this.
As a back-up an other solution would be to create a Z-table which will translate the UoM used in the SRM system to the corresponding UoM in the respective back-endsu2026.. The table will have three columns. u2018SRM UoMu2019 u2013 u2018Back-end Systemu2019 u2013 Back-end UoM. Depending on the implementation scenario U use, you can have the interface to the back-end carry out the translation. For this you can use the available Badiu2019s: BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW, BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW, BBP_CREATE_BE_RS_NEW
Downside of this solution will be the extra maintenance effort for the Z-table. Best choice in my perspective would be the business change.

UOM issue of SR that push from third party integrated software into SAP

Dear SAP Expert/Guru,
Would like to seek for your advise what is to be done to check the issue of different UOM created in SR when push from thrid party intrgration software into SAP.
The material only being maintained 1 UOM which is PKT however, when the data being push from the integration software it created the material with the UOM CTN and this cause the whole SR cannot be used.
Is there any way to check between the data integration? The client is using BAPI to push the data.
Currently the client just implement PI module and the third party software is integrated with PI module.
Kindly advise is there any other way to check.
Thank you
Regards
Leonard Tan

Dear Shailesh & Jurgen,
Due to the T-code CUNI is maintained as Fire Fighter in the production server, so I only can use the QA server to analyst the UOM maintained in the server.
Below is the result of the analysis:-
ISO Code ISO code text
CT CTN
PK Pack (assuming this is used as packet)
As in the Change Units of Measurement of Dimension: Overview. THe result as shown:-
Unit Commercial Technical Meas.unit text
CTN KAR CTN Carton(SC)
PKT PKT Pkt Packet(s)
When double click the "Units of Measurement, select any unit and click on the lens, here you will see a small box called ALE/EDI, you will get to see the ISO Code in the box and a small checkbox called primary code"
There is no checking being clicked at the primary code and nothing is being keyed in the ISO code
Kindly advise what is to be done? is it the ISO issue or is there any setting being done wrongly.
Thank you

BOM UOM issue

Dear all,
I have query in unit of measurement. We have one package material called P1 and base unit of measure is No.

Diagnosis
Your entry does not match the specified input format.
System Response
The entry in this field was rejected.
Procedure
The entry must comply with the edit format. The following edit format characters have a special meaning:
"_" (underscore)
There should be an input character at this point; this should be a number for numeric fields.
"." (decimal point) (applies to numeric fields)
The decimal point occurs here (setting in the user master record).
"," (thousands separator) (applies to numeric fields)
This separator occurs (optionally) for more than three figures. Depending on the setting in the user master record, it can be a period or a comma.
"V" (applies to numeric fields)
The operational sign appears here. If used, it must by at the right margin of the field. The sign is either "-" or " "(space).
"~" (tilde) (applies to numeric fields)
As of and including this character, leading zeros must also be entered. Otherwise, this character has the same meaning as an underscore. Leading zeros need not be entered on the left of the tilde. They are not output at this position.
All other characters have their normal meanings and must be entered in the same position as in the edit format.

Unit of measure issues

Hi.
I have a material with UOM issue. I have to change the unit of measure for a material.I removed all the stock for the material but it still says stock exist in the previous period. i removed all the stock and its empty in MMBE. but still its giving me the same error.
how to solve this.

To remove stock from previous period, you can enable posting in previous period using MMRV transaction and then post a cycle count or scrapping transaction to remove the stock. Ensure that the posting date of this transaction is in the previous period.

Base Unit Of Measurement error

Dear Sir \ Mam,
Our some materials base unit of measurement is in KG, and we want to make bills, excise RG1 entry in KG for milligram sales or material transfer. How to go for such transaction, system is not allowing for such transactions.
Pls Note : We can't create two separate materials code for these UOM issue materials.
Requesting a help.
Regards,
Randhir Padwal

Hi,
As per my understanding you have base unit in KG and you want to material issue and sales in miligram unit. If this is requirement then you may try to assign "sales unit" for material master in "sales:sales org1" view. you have to also give the conversion rate from KG to miligram in additional data.
for issuing you have to maintain issue unit "miligram" in material master view "Plant data/stor1"

Vendor missing in Shopping Cart

Hi all,
Now, in SRM Shopping Cart, I have a issue that when screen returns to Shopping Cart from External Vendor Catalog, and when I click on Item Details (click on Magnifier icon in 'Action' column), it brings me to Item Details page, where I can see Basic Data, Cost Assignment, Documents and Attachments, Ship-To Address/Performance Location, and Sources of Supply / Service Agents.
I notice when I click on Sources of Supply / Service Agents, there are messages return:
No vendor assigned
No vendors/contracts/info records exist
I have done the config for the vendor in the following path in SRM, for my External Vendor Catalog:
SPRO --> Supplier Relationship Management --> SRM Server --> Master Data --> Define External Web Services
where, I assigned Vendor Number 90000987 as BP Number in Source of Supply Assinged to Product Catalog.
I am wondering why Vendor No. 90000987 is missing during the transfer to shopping cart. Due to this, I have checked BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER, method ENRICH_ITEM_DATA, table ET_SC_PARTNER, and I found entry for Vendor Number 90000987 is in the table with Partner Function '00000019'. I bet there is nothing I can do in BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER.
Another BADI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI, which triggered after BADI BBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER, and I found that table IT_PARTNER of method BBP_SC_CHANGE does not contain any entry for Vendor Number 90000987 with Partner Function '00000019'. I have tried to place a breakpoint there and append entry for Vendor Number 90000987 manually in debugger, surprisingly, the Vendor is showing now.
Do you have any idea of which area (config or etc) I have missed out to cause Vendor Number 90000987 being excluded in tale IT_PARTNER of method BBP_SC_CHANGE in BADI BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI?
Many thanks for your help.
Regards,
Patrick

Hi Muthu,
Thanks for your info, I have resolved the Vendor Missing issue, and this is due to Business Partner GUID. I have matched back the appropriate GUID and now the vendor is appeared.
However, I have another post, but this time it's UoM issue

How to maintain Two Unit of Measure on One Item?

Hi Experts,
good day!
An item can be purchased either in Metric ton or Kgs. but maintain an inventory UoM in Kg only. What step do I need to consider, aside from creating a UDF.
Since, I can see only one conversion in item Master data, 1 Metric Ton = 1,000 kg... ( Purchasing UoM= Metric Ton) , What if my client wanted to purchase an item in Kg? The system can only viewed metric ton, how about the kg? Please help me on his matter... Thanks and God bless.
Regards,
Mari

Hi Mari,
In marketing document, you may select different Base Units for the item to utilizing two UoM.

Multiple Backend for APO system

hi Experts,
I have a scenario to connect multiple backend (ERP system Ehp4) to the APO system (7.0 SP 03). The ERP development system & ERP support system will be connected to one APO system which will be used for development.
the query is,
1. will there be any problem in this kind of landscape (for txn data, master data & transports)
2. does SAP give any standard feature to connect this way
3. how can the data from one APO identified uniquely to be sent to different ERP systems.
4. generally what are the difficulties in this scenario?
Thanking you in anticipation.
Regards,
Vasudevan

Hi,
Definitely APO can be connected to multiple R/3 systems.
1. You need to maintain the BSG group to differentiate the 2 R/3 systems. Please read SAP help on BSG.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/ba/737b3704716066e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm
The BSG helps to differentiate master data between the 2 or more R/3 systems
2. CIF setting (CFM1 & CFM2) in R/3 & publication setting (/n/SAPAPO/CP1) in APO is critical for data transfer between the right systems (R/3 & APO).
APO identifies from Publicaiton setting, the R/3 system where the data is to be transferred for a particluar location (same location is not expected to be in both the R/3 system)
3. For issue related to the BUoM, you can maintain the conversion factor between the BUoM in the material master in both the R/3 systems.
We have similar scenario, where in 2 R/3 systems having same materials codes have different BuoM. We maintain the converstion factor in alternative UoM to avoid UoM issues. We are not facing much issues expect for Sales order, where we get difference in delta report. we just transfer the blocked Queues to APO.
hope this helps.

Stock Calculation Problem

Hi All,
I was setting up the inventory cube 0IC_C03. I was getting negative values after data load. Below are the procedures I followed.
Loaded 2LIS_03_BX and compressed with Marker update (on 07.10.2009).
Loaded 2LIS_03_BF and compressed without marker update.
Now in the report, for the Total valuated stock, I am getting the correct value for the date 07.10.2009. For dates on and before 06.10.2009 I am getting wrong values, zero values and negative values.
I was not able to find the error. So I created a sample non-cumulative cube and loaded some sample data from flat file. Same problem I faced here also.

Here in the LISTCUBE if you see, the record on 07.10.2009 (From BX) is having a Qty Received of 100 EA. The same record has become the reference point (31.12.9999) after compressing BX. I think this could be the reason why I get these values in the output.
Pls help me to solve this issue,
Regards,
BIJESH

Hi Anil,
Thanks for the reply.
The compression was done properly as I had mentioned in the previous post. Also, in the LISTCUBE, 0REQUID = 0 for all the records. That means all the requests are compressed. Also, the record with 0RECORDTP = 1 (Reference Point) has the value ISSUED=0 and RECVD=100. That means only the BX has been compressed with marker update.
And in the document http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/93ed1695-0501-0010-b7a9-d4cc4ef26d31 on page 61, the formula for calculating stock is:
Sum(Records with 0RECORDTP=1 & 0REQUID=0 & CALDAY=31.12.9999)
        + Sum (Records which are not compressed)
        - Sum(Records which have 0CALDAY>Ref Date)
As per formula, the report calculation also seems ok. i.e.,
Stock for 07.10.2009 = 100 + 0 - 0 = 100
Stock for 06.10.2009 = 100 + 0 - 100 = 0
Stock for 05.10.2009 = 100 + 0 - 100 = 0
Stock for 04.10.2009 = 100 + 0 - ((20 - 40) + 100) = 20
And all the other stocks are also correct as per the calculation logic and the records in the LISTCUBE. But the stocks are incorrect when compared to the BX and BF datasources. I cant find where I have gone wrong. Can you pls help me to solve this issue....

BIJESH

Issue related to changing UoM in PO which is created w.r.t PR

Hi All
I have Created a PR without material (i.e for Projects) and entered UoM as EA
I have created a PO w.r.t PR and saved it.
Now i want to change the UoM from EA to AU but system is giving me error.
"Order unit AU not convertible into unit EA of requisition"
So i tried changing in PR but in PR the UoM field is disabled so i cant change the UoM there also
Can you plz guide me what could be the solution to resolve this issue.
Thanks and regards
shailesh

hi..
UoM cant be changed...
It can be chaged only if..
If there are no stocks of the material in the current period and in the previous period
If there are stocks in the previous period, you can clear them as follows:
a) Post the stock in the previous period to the current period (for example, using movement type 561) so that the stock for the previous period is the same as the stock for the current period.
b) Clear the stock with the posting date in the previous period (for example, using movement type 562).
If no purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements exist for the material
So. please all these..
Thnks..

Unit of Issue vs UoM

Hi Gurus
We have a scenario, where in we are maintaining , diff UoM for the Base unit & unit of issue in the material master.
Our legacy team finds it easy to maintain the stock in unit of issue. how will it impact initial stock loading ?
Muthu

Hi
Initial stock is always maintained in the Stock keeping unit that is base UOM.
Unit of issue will be taken only when issue related movements are performed
If you are thisnking to change the UOM now after uplaoding the stock, it may not be possible. You need to remove the stock & then reload it with Unt of issue.
Thanks & Regards

UOM Convertion in GR Issue

Hello Gurus,
I have a material that have the next UOM:
1 PC (BUM) = 3 BAG
When I make a GR (mov. 261) for this material in 1 BAG (UOM at the BOM) the system makes the convertion to PC and discounts 0.333. See the next example:
Initial Stock: 1 PC = 3 BAG
GR ( - 1 BAG): 0.667 PC = 2.001 BAG
So, at the end I have a little surplus that obviously doesn't exists.
Is there any possibility for fix this? Can the system discounts 1/3 instead of 0.333?
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I once had this issue in one of my projects. I'm afraid, as far as I know, this is the standard SAP, UoM can only accomodate 3 digits of decimals.
Thus, when you define the Base UoM not with the smallest unit, you will face this kind of case where SAP will round the qty, resulting in an excess in stock (when physically it doesn't exist).
My advice is, you should define the smallest unit as the base UoM, so this problem will not arise.
Or, for material which already have this problem, you should do adjustment at least every month for this qty rounding problem.
