You have posted two problems

1) Unit of measure -> to pouplate alt unit of measure you need to populate tables UNITSOFMEASURE, UNITSOFMEASUREX ( fields ALT_UNIT, ALT_UNIT_ISO, NUMERATOR, DENOMINATR) . For checking what values to post check MARM entry for any material for which alt unit of measure is poulated

2) the error message MM059 -> Are you using CLOSED_BOX in CLIENTDATA? If yest the packageing volume MARA-ERVOL should be less than MARA-VOLUM

if you are populating the CLIENTDATA-CLOSED_BOX, Then do check the following
1) Make sure you are populating VOLUME, VOLUMEUNIT in UNITSOFMEASURE, UNITSOFMEASUREX for the BASE UNIT OF MEASURE populated in CLIENTDATA. This will be the volume for base unit of measure.

2) Make sure the CLIENTDATA-ALLWD_VOL is less than the volume populated in step 1.

hi gaurav,

thanks for the reply. i was unsuccessful while trying to create a material with client data-closed box 'x' but i was successful doing the same without closed box checked in..

now pls could you help me if i have more than two alt units what to do. i tried to do the same uom table by giving another unit but im getting the same message which i posted earlier.

I would suggest you one thing.open any material in mm02 ->basic data 1. Select Additional Data Button -> Unit of Messure. Populate the values you want using bapi and save it. Do you get any error? if yes then correct it. If not go to MARAM with that material. Makes sure you pouplate the similar data in UNITSOFMEASURE, UNITSOFMEASUREX.

It should work for sure.

P.S. : - Please do mark any helpful answer if you find so . New SCN makes life easier for any one facing such problem in future.

Try this (assuming volumne as 30 L (ltr))

CLIENTDATA-ALLWD_VOL = 30
CLIENTDATA-PACK_VO_UN = 'L'

and UNITOFMEASURE internal table like this

ALT_UNIT	NUMERATOR	DENOMINATR	VOLUME	VOLUMEUNIT
BAG			30	L
CAN	1	2

and ofcourse don't forget to fill CLIENTDATAX and UNITOFMEASUREX internal table

Regards,

Pawan.
