ISO code in Inbound Order

[Former Member]

I am testing the inbound idoc orders05. Customer's PO has 'UN' in the field MENEE of E1EDP01. It is equivalent to EA.

When I try to post it , it gives me an error "ISO unit of measure UN is not assigned (item )"

I tried to maintain it in the UOM table but it didn't allow me to do so as an entry with EA already exist.

I changed dxvbap-vrkme and dxvbap-meins to EA through user exit but it is still giving me the same ISO error.

I am using the exit 'exit_saplveda_001'.

Cnn you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi Shahnila,

Please use this FM <b>UNIT_OF_MEASURE_SAP_TO_ISO</b> to convert to ISO code.

CALL FUNCTION 'UNIT_OF_MEASURE_SAP_TO_ISO'
    EXPORTING
      SAP_CODE    = I_LIPS-VRKME
    IMPORTING
      ISO_CODE    = I_LIPS-VRKME
    EXCEPTIONS
      NOT_FOUND   = 1
      NO_ISO_CODE = 2
      OTHERS      = 3.

Hope this will help.

I used the FM in the userexit but the error is still there. Here is my code.

check contrl-mestyp = 'ORDERS'.

if segment-segnam = 'E1EDP01'.

move segment-sdata to l_edp01.

if l_edp01-menee = 'UN'.

xvbap = dxvbap.

xvbap-vrkme = 'EA'.

call function 'UNIT_OF_MEASURE_SAP_TO_ISO'

exporting

sap_code = xvbap-vrkme

importing

iso_code = xvbap-vrkme

exceptions

not_found = 1

no_iso_code = 2

others = 3.

xvbap-meins = xvbap-vrkme.

dxvbap = xvbap.

endif.

endif.

Hi Shahnila,

I check the FM stand alone and it works fine by returning 'EA' when i pass 'EA' . can you keep a beakpoint before function module and run step by step to check why you are getting error ?

In transaction CUNI, click on unit of measurement, select EA in the next screen and then press 'Display' icon. See what is there in the ISO code field. My guess is that it is EA. UN is not a valid ISO code. So you have to change E1EDP01-MENEE to EA. That should take care of it.

I am changing XVBAP-vrkme through user exit. I don't know how to change the idoc segment itself for the incoming order. Can you tell me te user exit for this?

Which function module are you using? Is it IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS? Unfortunately, all the user exits are called after the error happens. There are none before. Your error is basically coming from here.

IDOC_INPUT_ORDERS
-->PERFORM interpret_idoc_orders
   -->PERFORM ZUORDNEN_ORDERS_E1EDP01.
      -->PERFORM IDOC_ISO_MEASURE_MOVE USING E1EDP01-MENEE XVBAP-VRKME
                              D_FLAG_K-UER2.

To avoid the error message, either you have to configure the ISO code UN in your system and assign that to EA using the CUNI transaction or your EDI subsystem must do the translation before converting the EDI message into IDoc. Adding the ISO unit and assigning it to EA is a complicated one (not the doing part of it but the implications part of it). So I suggest that you talk to the EDI subsystem people and ask them to change UN to EA in their mapping.

Thanks. I'll make changes in the EDI subsystem mapping.
