BASE UNIT OF MEASURE AND UNIT OF ISSUE DIFFERENT.

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I have a question regarding below comment.

Dear,

Please check the base unit of measurable and alternate unit of measurement in material master and there ratio.

The problem may occur if the units in the material master have not been correctly maintained for the material of the component.

If you have not defined the base unit of measure as the smallest unit between base unit of measure and alternative unit of measure, then there are always problems when you convert between these units.

When you determine the requirement quantity, it can happen that a requirements quantity could be determined in unit of entry, however, quantity = 0 is calculated when you convert in the base unit of measure.

Example:

Base unit of measure: UN

Alternative UM: M

Conversion rule: 1 UN = 40000 M

Requirement quantity in unit of entry: 10 M

Conversion in base unit of measure: 10 M / 40000 = 0.00025 = 0.000 UN

The creation of components (table RESB) and stock-keeping units (table J_3ABDSI) with requirement quantity in base unit of measure = Zero

Hope clear to you.

""""""

what is the solution for this this type of issue....actually I am facing same type of issue here, where I have a packing material with "" BASE UNIT OF MEASURE in RLL ( ROLLS ) & UNIT OF ISSUE in M ( METER ).

Here the conversion is set 1 ROLL = 65 METER, when we going to confirming the production order with CO11N with 0.025 METER , it shows ERROR , WHAT YOU HAVE DESCRIBED EARLIER.

what should I do with this material sir , now? please suggest.

and thanks for my previous question thread.

Hi Amit,

In order to increase searchability and findability I would recommend to add product related tags to your question. If you can think of more additional tags that better categorizes your question please add them as it increases the chance to get an answer for the corresponding experts.

Here you find all of the tags available https://answers.sap.com/tags.html

Perhaps a tag related to Production Planning ? Just guessing here as I am not a subject matter expert.

Thanks and Regards,

Create an unit of measure with UN6 and make it like 1 M = 25 UN6 and UN6 = 0.00001 UN. Please check throughly in Quality then proceed.

Hello,

Basis rule is that smallest unit of measure should be your base unit of measure.

In general, SAP strongly recommend that the basic Unit of Measure should be the smallest of all the Unit of Measure a material may have. Otherwise, numerous rounding issues can occur.

In your case M - Meter should be your base unit of measure and define BOM in respective quantity in meter as your unit of issue is also meter.

For purchasing you can use the roll as unit of measure.
