Unit type for WBS element

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I am encountering an issue when I try to post SD invoices.

These invoices are allocated to a WBS element.

But I can post them because I have the error message, that for this WBS, there were some articles allocated with the unit type UO.

And for these invoices, the unit type is PCE. So I am not allowed to allocated articles if thhe unit type is different as UO.

Is it possible to manage different unit types for a WBS element?

How should I customize it?

Thanks for your help.

Hello Anne-Laure,

What error message do you receive?

Hi Brendan,

I've got the following message: Delivered/invoiced quantities cannot be updated in CO

Message Nr: KI137

For account assignment object WBS A.PPBT1-31, the delivered

or billed quantity is to be updated in the unit of measure

PC for material number 10000123.

The system has found a totals record (COSL) that already

exists for the account assignment object WBS A.PPBT1-31

with unit of measure AU. However, you cannot convert the

quantity from PC to AU.

In fact, SAP purposes to manage the unit conversion. But I would like to be sure that there is not another way to manage different unit of measure for a WBS.

Thanks,

Hi Anne,

Check with your MM/CO counterparts , i think you need to get the conversion for your UO to PCE for the materials you are doing the invoice..

need to make settings in MM02 for alternate UOM.

Hope it helps...

Hi Sammar,

Thanks for your answer.

Could the Activity Type manages this point?

Thanks.

Hi Anne,

I don't think activity type would help out here as the UOM is not for the WBS or activity, It is for the Material which we are trying to deliver/invoice.. so it has to be at material level only...

Personally I have seen people going by the first method. ( easy way out)

Let's wait for others,if someone has done it differently..
