Question about unit of measurement

Hi there:
Can anyone tell me what's field/table for unit of measurement coversion in material master data since I am going to mass upload them via lsmw.

material master > basic data view > addition data button > go to unit of measeure tab
you can maintain different units of measure here

Question about units of measure

HI Experts,
I have a scenario -there is a raw material A ( electrical wire), we purchase it by a rounding number of roll.a roll for 200 MM. And we can't make two short lines for a long line. For example, we need to use 56 MM material A to make a production B. For 3 PCs B,we need a roll.And when we run MRP for product 30 PCs of B, it caculate as 30*56MM/200MM = 8.4,and get a rounding number as 9 rolls.But actually it need 30PCs/(3PCs/roll)=10 rolls.So,it can't suffice the requirement.And I find 2 methods to solve the problem.
1、Use 'Component scrap' of BOM's item.
2、maitance the quanity of BOM's item as 0.33 roll
But these 2 methods are not satisfy our user. Can anyone tell me a best solution for this problem?thanks.
thanks very much.
best regards.

Thank you very much,I'm sorry for I do not describe my problem very clearly.
The scenario is actually like this:the material A is an electrical wire and it is very valuable,As we can only purchase it by a rounding number of roll.a roll for 200 MM. and we can 't use 2 short wires connect as a long wire, such as when we need a material A 50MM,we can only cut a wire which is longer than 50MM to 50MM for using. And we can't connect 2 wire for using.
Then we need to use the material A to make some products such as finished product B and C,D.The different finished product B,C,D need a different length of material A.take B need 30MM,C need 35MM,D need 85MM as an example.when we make 4 PCs of material D,we need to purchase 2 roll material A.If we using BOM'component scrap,or using "200 mm = 1 roll 1roll = 3pc ",the whole roll is consumed.But in fact after production 4 material D,we still left 2(200mm - 285MM) = 2*30mm material A.It means that we still left 2 piece material A long as 30MM,we can't use it to make material C,but we can use it to make materil B.Is there only solution for this problem?thanks
thanks very much!
best regards!

AffineTransform - Is there a way to glean units of measurement for pixels?

Assuming I get a pointer to a java.awt.geom.AffineTransform from:
java.awt.geom.AffineTransform CurTransform = ((java.awt.Graphics2D)this.getMainFrame().getGraphics()).getDeviceConfiguration().getDefaultTransform();
Assuming I've gotten the right AffineTransform... How do I get, or can I get, the scaling factor between horizontal pixels and vertical pixels for the current screen (or whatever device). In other words I want to place components... buttons, textboxes, etc. in a dialog box so that they are "square". i.e. 10 units in x look on the screen equal to 10 units in y.
Once I know what the "square pixel scale factor" is I can then worry about making the units relative to whatever font size.
This question is usually posed as "How do I get dialog units?". I haven't done that because of the "legacy problems" associated with what most people think dialog units come from. It is true that way back when dialog units were derived from a textmetrics ONLY, but unless I'm mistaken, Charles Petzold, was describing something that could only be gotten that way at that time (circa 1990).... The width of the fixed system font by the height of the fixed system font ended up being as close to a unit that was 8 units high looked like 8 units wide in the screen. The object of the exercise is to most importantly get units of measurement that translate to pixels and look "square" on the screen. Secondarily, but not unimportant, is to be a unit that has some relevance to the current font size. It's been a long time dialog units in windows maybe a 2:1 ratio. I made my own cDialogUnits so long ago I can't remember what the "standard windows" dialog unit is. In windows I can very easily get the screen dpi x and y, I think it's a devicecontext but Java's "devicecontext" only gives one dimension of the dpi?
Also this query is mute if I was "painting" on a device. The units are for pixels NOT points and are (mostly) for placing controls on the screen. I am aware of and have used the various addPreferredGap and setAutoCreateContainerGaps available in a GroupLayout... Great gizmos but, still dialog units would be very handy for setting the prefered width of a textbox/label with too much text. (Note: dialog units are NOT for calculating the height of text... )
I did search the sun forums for an answer first... It might be here I just didn't find it. It seems to be a question either avoided like the plague or considered a dumb question in Java.

This might be OK?
BE AWARE!! This is NOT a painting gizmo. It is used in conjunction with the Layout gizmos. It drives me crazy that the Layout gizmos have "default" gaps and spacers of some kind and yet ALL the tutorials immediately and unabashedly trash any "device independence" by mixing in pixel measurements... Not to mention I don't like the size of the gaps and spacing provided with the Layout gizmos anyway.
Does anyone know if this will fail? I am aware of the caveats provided... "Information about the device is only as good as has been provided." However if there is bad information in the device info I doubt using these units will do anything much different that the end user experiences with the errant device anyway.
AGAIN... This is NOT a painting gizmo. It's a helper when Laying out controls usually in conjunction with a Layout and only for spaces and gaps.

Unit of measure in condition table

Hi,
I'm creating a new condition type and it should be maintained in MEK1/2/3.
The new condition type is copied from RUC1.
According to the business requirement, I have set REST as the access sequence to the new condition type.
Requirement;
1. The condition record should be determined by vendor
2. The validity period will not in use (i.e. 1900/01/01-9999/12/31)
3. The unit of measure of the material to be purchased can be either PCE or PR
Issue;
It seems I can create a condition record per one vendor per only one UoM.
I have create a condition record for PCE, and set a scale 1PR = 1PCE for that condition record.
However, when I've tried to create a PO, I've got a quantity conversion error.
Does any one know how I can configure the 2 UoM for one vendor?
Restriction;
The material master is shared with other companies.
Therefore, we cannot maintain material master for this local requirement.
It has to be managed only by configuration.
Your help would be much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Mari

Test once by using your own custom condition table.
Create a condition table for the fieldCatlg Vendor, Material, Oder Unit etc (as per your requirement)
Then rest of all as per your settings. Then you can maintain the condition record as per order unit.
For more about create condition table refer to the blog Pricing procedure Steps and Details in SAP MM

In RG1 ,Unit of measurement is KG,User want to change as MR

Hi Experts,
In RG1,user want to change unit of measurement as KG to MR.Now its showing KG but in billing there is unit of measurement is MR .I have checked material master.I found following:
base unit of measurement is KG
sales Unit: SM
while creating order system default unit of measurement showing SM.In Additional data there are some conversion factors.
Please help me gurus
how can i covert KG to MR in RG1? as in billing it is MR.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravindra

Hi Ram,
Thanks for the reply.
Problem coming in RG1 as UOM comming KG.user already billed in MR as there is conversion factor in material master MR to KG.
According to your suggetion if i changed sales unit as MR it comes defaulted in order then in invoice.but in RG1 still it showing KG as UOM.
Can you explain about RG1? In RG1 may be system catch only base unit of measurement which is KG.
Thanks & Regards,
Ravindra

Met problem to change unit of measure in material master

Our prime made mistake when creating material master with MM01. He used wrong unit of measure EA instead of right one M. And when he recognized this issue and tried to change it with MM02 in view Basic1, system prompt him an error message that "Standard cost estimates for the current period already exist".
So, please help to let me know how can I delete related records about cost estimates and avoid this error. Thanks a lot.

Robbie,
You can delete Cost estimates using T-code: CKR1 , I am not sure if you can change UoM if you have any goods movements on the material. The best option would be create new material with correct UoM and transfer stock from old Material to New one with proper Conversion.
Thanks

Unit of measure changed in BOM not reflected in Production order

We noticed the following problem in one of our production order.
1. We have a bom component having a unit of measure MT.
2. A planned order already exists for this header material.
3. We changed the unit of masure in the same BOM component to KG.
4. We processed the production order and did confirmations and did auto GR.( Value 20 times high)
5. The cost at GR is very high , although the material consumption is considering the changed unit of measure KG.
Any possible solution to this problem,
Thanks,
Manohar

All steps suggested including read PP master data , rerun MRP and generate a new planned order and then convert to a new production order, have been done but the effect at 101 remains same with high actual costs.
The production order is acocunt-assigned to a WBS.
In table QBEW , the standard price is updated as very high. We havs S as price control in header material master.
May be , some one has some idea about how the standard price in Table QBEW gets updated. What is the source for this standard price which gets updated on doing GR ( It comes to project stock and we see the standard price being very high and so the actual cost is very high)
Thanks,
Manohar

Unit of measure with language Key

Hello Guruz,
WHile creationd of purchase order, there is a check kept which compares the vendor communication language which gets updated in the Po header - Communucation tab with Db table T006A which holds the Unit of measurements with Language Key and pops up an error message.
It cheks the order unit in the PO, and the T006A whether the unit is maintained in the Language key as in the PO header - Communiction tab.
But while creating a unit of measurement in CUNI, we dont have the option to maintain the language key for the UOM.
In CUNI, it defaults the language key as EN in table T006A.
I need a prompt support from you guys on this issue. Please suggest how to go about with this?
Best Regards
Greg.

Hello,
When i am trying to go for the language key in CUNI, it says that the said language is 'not available in server'. I guess it is checking whether the language patch is updated in the server.
But it doesn't sound logical to maintain all the unit of measurements in all the vendor languages. Suppose if we are having vendors with 75 communication languages and we are having 50 units os measurements, so does that mean that we have to maintain units of measurements 75 X 50 times ?
Kindly provide your inputs on the issue. We are facing lots of issues with this control kept in PO header checking for the T006A with the vendor communication language.
Regards
Greg

Hi Itzell T,
      While creating the material the unit of measurement which is entered is not existing in the SAP System. The unit of measurement entered during creation of material is cross checked from enteries of check table T006.
      So, functional consultant should take care of this issue just let him know the message.
   He know what problem actually is and fix the problem as Ankur had said.

Creation of New Base Unit of Measure

Hi Forum, does anyone have any detail on how to go about creating new units of measure and what to look out for? Any documentation would be appreciated.
I know the Tcode (CUNI) and to copy certain existing BuM's but was wondering about the ISO and whether i actually need to apply for this as we wont be using EDI with our Vendors. Any best practice or guidance to be aware of would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Dan

Generally, if you are creating new Uom same as like exisitng one and you are not using the EDI than you are file with ISO code but if you are planning to use EDI than you can search for ISO code on Google. If the Uom is standard other wise you have to use the exisitng which can match some percentage to your Uom

Third party purchase unit of measure issue.

Hi Friend,
I have created sales order for third party process unit of measure in sales order is in Meter qty is 3.7 mater.
But PR & PO id created in the unit of measure Piece i.e. 3.7 pieces.
GR is already done for qty 3 pieces. Now when user is trying to do GR for qty 0.7 pieces we are getting error message serial number management allows only whole number.
How can I do GR for this. Also I want to know what setting I need to do to have PO in unit of measure M i.e. Mater.
Thanks,
Kiran

Its all about your material master unit of measure.
In Material master - Basic data 1 view - Base Unit of measure will be picked in PR.
In Material master - Purchasing - order Unit will be picked in PO (If blank, then base unit of measure)
In Material master - Sales Organization 1 - Sales unit will be picked in Sales Order.
And for your error message, please search in SCN, you will get many thread regarding the error.

Changing Base Unit Of Measure (Material Master)

Hi
1. How to check this? (Any successful changes in material master only took place when there is no open document from SD, PP, MM & FI for that material. )
2. Base unit of measurement cannot be changed. The reason being material movement history is there in table - MSEG mainly which otherwise create inconsistency in reporting. -
Is this line applicable for current period or previous period in current year or previous period previous year???
3. There are no existing purchase requisitions, purchase orders, or scheduling agreements for the material. -
is this means open / pending purchase orders or the the PO's created in system with respect to material where the GR and IR is already done
4. You can change the base unit of measure if there is no stock of the material during current and previous period----
is this means the term " previous preiod" is previous period in the current finacial year   or its applicable for the previous preiod in previous financial year
5. Post the stock in the previous period to the current period - -
how can we do this???
Vijay

See this OSS note : especially the last sentence:
From OSS note 138767
Within the material master record maintenance, you want to change the base unit of measure (base unit). During the change, the system performs extensive checks in order to avoid inconsistencies in the applications which use the material master.
In particular, the following checks are performed:
The base unit must not be defined as an alternative unit of measure for the material
No International Article Number must be assigned to the base unit
No proportion/product units must be defined for the material
No configurable material must be assigned
The material must not be used as a configurable material
Stock must neither exist for the previous period nor for the current period
No physical inventory must be active
No reservations or dependent requirements must exist for which the deletion indicator is not set
No planned orders must exist
No purchase requisitions, purchase orders or scheduling agreements must exist for which the deletion indicator is not set
No WM transfer requirements, no WM quants or no WM posting change notices must exist
The material must not be a bill of material
The material must not be contained in a bill of material
The material must not be used as a production resource/tool
The material must not be used in task lists
No standard cost estimate must exist for the current or future period
No production orders must exist
No planned independent requirements must exist
No run schedule headers must exist
If the base unit has dimensions, no serial number profile must be assigned
No sales and distribution documents must exist which have status Not processed or Partially processed.
Solution
If necessary, all reasons mentioned above must be eliminated by archiving the objects listed
1) SAP checks this for you. A new button will appear in MM02 and after you click this button to check the error log, you will see which documents exist.
2) I have not seen that an existing movement will restrict the change of a BUoM.
3) No purchase requisitions, purchase orders or scheduling agreements must exist for which the deletion indicator is not set
       it is not caring about GR done or IR done. it telling you that the deletion indicator has to be active. As a deletion indicator can be reset easily, you probably have to archive the documents
4) the previous period is the period before the current period.
   today we have February, hence the previous period is January.
5) first make sure your current stock is higher than the stock of the previous period. if it is lower, then you have to create inventory in current period first e.g. with 202 movement with current date.
Then you issue the previous period stock with 201 movement and previous period date (make sure periods are open in OB52 and MMRV allows posting to previous period).
Finally you issue the left stock in the current period with 201 and current date.
Now previous period and current period stock is zero. After the change of the base unit you have to get the stock back into the system

Partner profile LI and unit of measure

Hi gurus,
I am experiencing a weird situation and probably you have any clue about it.
I have configured an output to send the Purchase order information via EDI. I have used the standard function and programs to create the output. I have created the condition record for that particular vendor and output.
Then i have created the LI partner profile in we20 with the vendor number and the message types ORDERS and ORDCHG and I have also included my output with the ME10 and the ME11 in each of the messages.
When i create the PO and the output is sent I have the PO number but then i have the standard error message " Update was terminated" with the error "There is no conversion factor for material and unit of measure !" I have reviewed the PO and i have used a UoM PC that i have as an ISO code.
the point is if I use a different LI partner profile with exactly the same information then the idoc is sent without any problem. I have deleted the partner LI that I orinally created and i created it again as a copy of the one that is working but without sucess.
I have reviewed the vendor master data...but all is exactly the same.
I think or there is some config missing or that I have created the partner profile incorrectly. But it is rare that the partner profile has any link to the UoM.
Do you have any idea what it can be?
thanks so much

I understand from your mail, you have maintained the ISO equivalence to your UOM. When you change your vendor in WE20, did you change that information in MN04? This is the place where the right output type is triggered.
Other than that make sure you configured all the necessary items in WE20 -> Outbound Parameters -> process code and all otehr necessary settings.
Let me know, how it works?

Problem with Unit of measurement

Hi,
I am having problem with Unit of measurement with different languages.
Eg:
In SPRO, I am able to see the unit of measure T3 Description: (Trading unit). in SAP 200 client .the logon language is EN(english).
But if I logon into same client(200) with different language DE(german) version, I am not able to see the description in German, the description field is blank.
Kindly give me a solution for this problem as it is very urgent.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Shankar

Hi Aishwarya,
I can think of 2 possibilities:
1. You need to verify passing the Target UoM with the ISO Code as well as the update flag in the 'X' structures.
2. The material that you are trying to pass some UoM does not have the conversion maintained in the Material Master. (Base UoM --> Target UoM conversion in Material Master, contact Functional Consultant).
Also, if you can verify by performing the action manually and check if the Sales Order is getting created manually with the Target UoM .
Regards,
Pranav.
