US Unit of Measure (UOM) conversion to British UOM for a specific customer

Hi SAP Gurus,
How can I convert the US Unit of Measure (UOM) for materials to British UOM for a specific customer? I want to keep the US UOM for all the other customers.
Thanks,
Best regards,
Ketan

Hi
It should be available check for the field in customer info record for UOM & key in for requried UOM.
If you get in touch with SD person they will help you to resolve this issue.

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..............

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.

Delivery unit / Rounding profile for a specific customer

Dear Expert,
A specific customer has to receive full case/box for specific products (for ex 1 case = 20 EA, if the customer orders 24 EA, he will receive 20 EA = 1full case). For other customers there is no restriction, they can order 1EA... The orders come via EDI and customer service is not able to control each order.
Thank you very much for your help!
Regards,
Robert

Hello Robert
Csaba gave a good suggestion but it won't completely resolve your issue because it won't handle the Delivery Unit part of it. It may take care of the rounding up/down business but won't change the units to Cases when Eaches are ordered.
I tested with Material Determination, it may take care of Delivery Unit angle but can't handle rounding up/down.
So I think best option for you is to try one of these 3:
1) Control at mapping software end to change the order quantity/units based on customer and material.
2) Using customer functions in Function Module IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS
See OSS note: 753153 - FAQ: Customer-functions in IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS
For both of these 2 above, you need to work with your EDI specialist team.
3) Use user exits during sales orders processing- Set up a custom table which specifies the delivery unit and rounding profile to be used for the set of customers and materials, preferably create a customer group and material group and use that in table rather than specific customers and materials. Probably you could use MV45AFZB-USEREXIT_CHECK_VBAK/USEREXIT_CHECK_VBAP.
Hope this helps.

Unit Of Measure Conversion in the SNP Planning Book

I have a problem in (a copy of ) the standard SNP Planning Book 9ASNP94.
I often need to view data in different units of measure however, but would like to avoid having to set up multiple Planning Areas. I know how to change the Unit Of Measure on my User Settings and for specific Selection IDs however, the conversions only ever work for a single Location/Product combination. As soon as I select 2 Products, the Key Figures all revert back to the Planning Area UoM.
Is there anyway round this or do I have to create new Planning Areas? If so, what are the issues in running multiple Planning Areas - does this cause performance problems?

Hi
My feeling is when you do conversion on aggregated level(multiple products), if any of the product has UOM missing then you coversion fails on aggregted level.
It looks strange that UOM conversion looks fine when you do conversion on each product.
I suggest you to check whether the UOMs (that you want to convert)are updated correctly on each product on their repective location in the product master under UOM tab.

Vijaya.

Conversion of alternate unit of measurement

Hi,
System will not allow to enter conversions of unit of measurements in decimal points. But is there any configuration or method, we can force system to accept conversions of unit of measurements in decimal points only? (For example 2.5kg = 1pc, base unit of measurement is 'PC' and alternate unit of measurement is 'KG')
Regards,
Sattuj

Hi,
For the given example of Alternate conversion you can use the following setting :
2.5 Kg = 1 Pc
Put the Values as :
25 Kg = 10 Pc
With this the objective of Decimal is achieved.

Base unit of measure

Dear Expert
my query is whenever i add new base unit of measure what are the effect it had on the system , i mean how base unit effect in the back end ...how system process base unit of measurement .
Regards

Dear usmfarhan
Actually Base unit of Measurement is the UoM which u want to maintiain ur inventory in the system.
i.e whater u r buying it from vendor ...it might be in Ea or Box or Carton
And you want to store in KG
So you can have Additional unit of Measurement and its conversion that can be defined in AMterial master in additional unit of measurement
Let us say Base UoM is KG and ur Ordering unit is TON
So u have to define Conversion rule as 1 Ton = 1000 KG in material master.
,While changing Base unit of measurement you should make sure that stock should not be there.
Secondly neither Purchase order for Raw material not Sales order for FG should exist in the system ,Neitehr routing should exist for FG
Or else system will not allow u to change UoM

$CL - Create Characteristic with multiple Unit of Measure

Hello Friends,
I want to create characteristic (CT04) which has multiple units of measure. At present a Characteristic is created with a single unit of Measure. I have to create characeristic and assign it in MIC. MIC specifications are customer dependent. Customer may give specifications in different unit of measure. While creating sales order, I am entering the specifications for characteristics, as material is created with varient.
I am creating Single Characteristic multiple times for different Unit of Measure and assigning it to the class.
Therefore according to the Customer requirment and his specifed Unit of Measure, that Characteristic is choosen having same UoM as of Customer.
Insead of doing this, Is it possible to assign multiple units of measure to single characteristic?
Waitng for reply!
Regards,
Kiran

What UOM's are we talking about?
Are you talking about ppm vs. %? Or ppm vs. ppb?
SAP can make some of these conversion automatically. I encourage clients to standardize what their lab people report on in inspection lots. I.e. they should always record ppm or always record % in the inspection lots.
In the certificates you can use the certificate profile to change the UOM actually reported on the COA to the customer. So you can record by ppm in the lab, but in the cert for the characteristic, you indicate that it should be reported in %. The system will automatically make this conversion for you.
If you are talking somethign like screens, I recommend doing all in the lab as either thru or on and doing calculated characterisitcs to calculate the opposite for those customers that want thru instead of on, or vice versa.

Risk in populating Unit of measure for commodity code (foreign trade) in ECC

We have recently implemeted product classification in GTS for the EU and US. We want to implement the transfer of tariff data from GTS to ECC via the standard GTS transactions /SAPSLL/SWN_RTR and /SAPSLL/SWN_RTR_R3.
Our compliance team is concerned about beginning to populate the unit of measure commodity code in ECC. I know this field is only visible when a supplementary unit is on the tariff number and is different than the base unit of measure on the material master. These additional units of measure must be configured in order for the XML tariff files to load properly.
One concern that has come up is the conversion of the base UoM to the new unit of measure from the tariff files. Are there other issues/risks I need to be aware of? My understanding is this unit is used only when reporting the products to the customs authorities.
I appreciate any guidance you can give me.

Hello Alison,
We implemented this, however, made an enhancement not to transfer the UOM to ECC. Our consultants are unable to clearly articulate the use of UOM in classification. I still have not have a complete grasp of UOM with classification. One thing we constantly run into, is job fails when external/internal UOM is not maintained during transfer of classification from GTS to ECC. Since we are not transferring UOM to ECC, we are now considering enhancement, so we do not have to maintain internal/external UOM from the files we receive from Customs Info. We have had a number of issues trying to figure out what to maintain as internal UOM for UOM sent by Customs Info. There is no ISO code to cross reference and makes it very difficult to figure this out.
Another thing that you need to be aware off - if you have products that is not classified in GTS and you have classification maintained in ECC, you can overwrite ECC values with blanks- the product master change/update date (for anything - not just classification) is picked up by the re-transfer job. We are currently making enhancements in the commodity code retransfer program, only to transfer when there is a value in GTS for classification.
I see Dave's message above " UoM is necessary for the calculation that supports your sourcing decisions as well as for your declarations to the authorities". I am really interested to understand the function of UOM in classification.

Padma

Alternate units of measure

Hi,
In order to implement the Alternate units of measure -
I need to implement user exit and activate enhancement RSR0001. In the description below is listed what to implement of includes. In the function group XRSR - I have added the code to the includes ZXRSRTOP and ZXRSRU01. These are both a part of the group. But the last one ZXRSRF01 is not in the include folder. I tried to create an include by right click on the include folder and choose create - I named it ZXRSRF01 and copied the code into it. But it is still not to be found in the XRSR function group and when I check the program the get_form call raises and error in the code of the include ZXRSRU01. How to get the include in the function group or is there another solution?

ISO codes for Units of Measure

are the iso codes held in the uom the standard codes? are these sap standard or can these be amended to what is being output and received by the business for EDI?

Hi Smith,
Go through the below explanation, which would be helpful for you.
Check units of measurement
In applications you often have to make calculations with quantities and physical units. Units of measurement are needed for their screen display and for internal conversions (such as kilogram <-> gram, but also centimeter <-> inch). The international system of units (SI) is used for this.
The international system of units is based on seven basic units of measurement. All other units are derived from these basic units. Units of measurement that measure the same quantity (and can therefore be converted into each other) are included in a dimension.
Units of measurement are held centrally in the SAP System for all applications. The conversion factors are stored in the system with a unique internal key. The external display specifications are maintained for each unit of measurement language-dependently. A business key (3 characters) and a technical key (6 characters) should be maintained for each language.
Standard settings
In the standard delivery system, units of measurement are defined according to the international system of units (SI).
For a new installation, units of measurement are delivered in all clients. For upgrades, new units of measuremente are delivered only in Client 000. They then still have to be transported to the production clients.
Recommendation
If you intend to perform cross-company data exchange, note that units of measurement with company-specific characteristics may have an adverse effect.
Activities
Check that the dimensions delivered and the associated units of measurements are complete.
If you are using EDI, you should also check the ISO codes.
Dimensions
1. Call the maintenance transaction by double-clicking with the mouse on the Execute symbol.
2. On the initial screen of the maintenance transaction, call the function Dimensions
To get a definition of a dimension, place the cursor on the dimension and choose the function Details.
3. If required, create new dimensions with the function New entries.
Units of measurement
1. Call the maintenance transaction by double-clicking with the mouse on "Execute", or press F3 to leave dimension maintenance and return to the initial screen of the maintenance transaction.
2. Select - from F4 Help for the field next to the Units of Measurement function - the individiual dimensions, and choose the Units of Measurement function.
To get a definition of a unit of measurement, position the cursor on the unit of measurement and choose the function Details.
3. If required, define new units of measurement according to the international system of units (SI) with the menu function Unit of meaurement -> Create.
Here you have to make make specifications for:
Display (including a descriptive Units of measurement text)
Conversion (not applicable to units of measurement without dimensions)
Data exchange (EDI) (optional)
Application parameters
ISO codes
1. Call the maintenance transaction by double-clicking with the mouse on "Execute", or press F3 to leave maintenance of units of measurement or dimensions and return to the initial screen of the transaction.
2. Choose the function ISO codes.
3. If required, maintain new ISO codes with the function New entries.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Viswanath

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.

Unit of measurement in project system

Hi Experts,
Its relevant to PS module. Base unit of material is KG whereas sales unit is M2 and conversion is maintained between both. Now I am using sale unit (M2) while entering material componenets in project. Then I am raising PR, PO, GR in project and withdraw the material in sale unit M2. But system updates the report in KG (under purchasing data tab in project). When I get material report, system shows reqmt qty in M2 but received qty in KG. Its confusing and doesn' serve the reporting purpose. Can we do something so that received and withdrawn qty will appear in M2 (sale unit) rather than KG (base unit)?
Regards
Dinesh Chauhan

Hi,
You inventory is maintain always in base unit of measure.
You can maintain different unit in material master like,
Order unit(Purchasing view) : - For Purchase Order
Unit of issue(Plant data1) : - For issue material.
You can see material stock in both unit of measure in MMBE.
After enter material code you can see material stock, by changing material unit of measure you can also saw material stock in specific unit of measure.
Maintain Order unit of measure in purchasing view and also active variable active unit( Enter 1 = active) in purchasing view
