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.

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.

Advantage of Alternative UOM as supposed to changing the UOM of material

Hi Friends,
What are the advantages of using alternative unit of measure as supposed to changing the UOM of material? &
what are the necessary activities in SAP if we change the unit of measure of the material?
Any pointers.
Regards
Ashu

When you want to handle the material quantity in other units other than it's Base Unit, then alternate unit should be maintained.
Alternate unit is decided on the basis of area of it's usage.
If A material is having base unit PC and you want to sale it in KG then mainain the Sale Unit as KG by providing the conversion between PC and KG.
In the same way Order unit is the unit when you want to procure the material in the unit other than Base unit.
For maintaining alternate unit, it's corresponding conversion with Base unit is necessary to maintain.
You can change the base unit of material unless and untill no transactions are done on that material.

How to use DataSource and External transaction in 9ias?

I'm working on a project that the application server needs to connect to over 100 databases.
I'd like to use connection pooling and external transaction service defined in OC4J's Datasources.
I wonder if anyone has an example of using datasource and external transaction service for OC4J.
Right now, I export toplink project to a java source and do the initialization there manually but I don't know how to use Datasource to get connections and how to use the external transaction service in the java code for OC4J.
I really appreciate you help.
Wei

Here is a fill in the blank example on how you could set this up through code:
Project project = new MyProject();
// alternatively, use the XMLProjectReader
server = project.createServerSession();
server.getLogin().useExternalConnectionPooling();
server.getLogin().setConnector(new JNDIConnector(new javax.naming.InitialContext(), "jdbc/DataSourceName"));
// the next line depends on the type of driver you want to use.
server.getLogin().useOracleThinJDBCDriver();
server.getLogin().useOracle();
server.getLogin().setUserName("username");
server.getLogin().setPassword("password");
server.getLogin().useExternalTransactionController();
server.setExternalTransactionController(new Oracle9iJTSExternalTransactionController());
server.logMessages();
server.login();

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.

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
Vinoth

Bapi for transaction va21

hi!
is there any bapi for transaction va21 creating qoutation?
regards
yifat

Hi Yifat,
There are two BAPI's to create Quotation.
BAPI_QUOTATION_CREATEFROMDATA
This BAPI has been released.
BAPI_QUOTATION_CREATEFROMDATA2
This BAPI has not been released yet.
There is small problem when you use these two BAPI's they dont update the document flow (i.e) these BAPI's will allow you to create 'n' number quotations for a single Inquiry, which according to business is not allowed.
You can do an alternate method, which you can use a BDC to create a Quotation and the updation part for that Quotation can be done with a BAPI 'BAPI_CUSTOMERQUOTATION_CHANGE'.
Hope this might be useful.

Tushar

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.
