Change of decimal point

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I am new to MM

In SCM UOM by mistak old decimal point is 2.

Now we need to change it to 3.

If I change thru CUNI, will create any problem in old transactions ?

e.g

1. You have a UOM SCM with 2 decimal places, created a PO and posted all the followon documents and PO is closed. If you change decimal places to 3, it wont have any impact on this PO. However

2. You have a UOM SCM with 2 decimal places, created a PO and posted all the followon documents for partial quantity and value and PO is still open. If you change decimal places to 3, it will have impact on this PO at the time of creation of further follow on documents as there is inconsistency between UOM in PO and UOM in system.

Hello Nilesh,

Thanks

In our case material is pipeline material - Natural Gas. We are issuing the material to cost centre.

Every 15 days we are receiving bill from Vendor and settle thru MRKO transaction.

So when we settle the vendor bill trhu MRKO, we have stop issuing material. After settlement, change the decimal and start issuing again.

Is it correct ?

Thanks and Regards,

in inventory management SAP always uses 3 decimals internally, regardless what you have set in CUNI.

Your CUNI setting is just for the Display, behind the display it is 3 decimals, hence you can change it witout any impact.

No,

For investory management, there are always three decimal places, so go ahead and change the decimal places.It wont cause any issue.

If you do any changes to decimal places, old open documents will get affected. better to close them first or analyse the busines impact before going for change.
