Units of measure maintenance for COPA quantity fields

[former_member308518]

Hello,

I have a question regarding the quantity fields in COPA.

I don't know, where the units of measure are maintained for these fields and how they are linked with the fields. I see that units of measure are not maintained in KEA6 and are not found in the table TKEF.

Could you please help?

Best regards,

Robert

Hi Robert,

In KEA6, we define whether the value field should update with either value or quantity. After maintain it, we map the SD/MM conditions which carrying the values to this value field. Suppose billing qty as created as value field in KEA6. We need to map this field with SD qty field in KE4M.

Hi Mukthar,

thank you, but what about newly created quantity fields? How does the system know if the field is measured in pieces, kilograms or maybe square meters? Via mapping this field to an SD-field in KE4M, or how?

Robert

Hi Robert.

you can fill the _ME fields with user exits or with KEDR. The 1st question you must ask yourself is 'in what way you are filling the value field?' EG, in my currect proyect a create a field named 'volumetric Kilogram', and this field is filled with a user exit doing some calculations about the volume of a truck, the weight of the product and the volume of a product.

Next, my question is: what is the better place to fill the unit of measure? The exit or with KEDR?

This is more complex than you think if you want to take care of the profitability segments, and dont want to create double prof segments. In my case, decided to fill with KEDR move statement, with the condition 'material is not blank', so for whatever have a material, i fill this field with a constant, because the unit is alwats KVO. If i dont fill this field, i see 2 profitability segments with the same characteristics but one without and other with this UOM due to my customizing in PA related to the SD flow.

in general, one rule dont fit all!

Hi Robert,

Yes, the system uses the UOM of the fields against which you have maintained the qty value fields in KE4M..ex: Cond type FKIMG mapped to Value field ABSMG etc.So in the Value field creation UOM is not required, as this may change based on the product being sold (Water in Liters, Perfumes in EA etc)

Now, there would be instances where you want a single UOM for all products (Management Reporting or where that Qty Value field has to work as a reference base), in such cases you can use the tr Code KE4MS to convert all kinds of UOM to a single UOM and store it in a value field
