Two UoM for a single material......

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus...

I have a scenario like Material is ordered in Nos..suppose 100 Nos...and vendor delivers 100 Nos, but invoices in KG. The issue is like the weight of each one in the 100 Nos is different...(as per the size of material...FMCG Sector scerio.......Like buying of of some Fishes),so sometimes 100 Nos may weigh 50 kg, some times it may be 60 kg. The price is determined on how much this 100 Nos material's weight is.

As the conversion rate is not fixed, I cant use it in alternate unit.The company wants both the information of the stock..like how many numbers are ther in stock and how much weight it is.

Please share your thoughts. Thanks

Hi,

The best solution for this issue is the functionality "Batch Specific Unit of Measure.

You need to maintain the settings in the Batch Management Customization for this in the SPRO - Logistics general.

After maintaining the above create a characteristic for this material and a class and assign the class to the material master.

Once you do this the system will allow you to enter the quantities in both units of measure while taking the GR in MIGO.

Hope this helps...

Hi Csaba,

I have gone to the link. But in my scenario, I cant treat it as individual batch as the GI and other transaction will not be supported.

Thanks

Hi Sat N,

Have you read / examined the link suggested by me? Beacause it definitely says:

"Alternative units of a material for which the conversion ratio to the base unit of measure can be defined on a batch-specific basis."

Hi Csaba Szommer,

Thanks for reply...but it doesnt solve the issue....as the conversion factor is not fixed..it varies Lot to Lot.

Hi,

In purchasing view of MM master in General Data area there is Variable Purchase Order Unit Active check box

Use of the Variable Purchase Order Unit

The information from the field in the material master record is adopted in the purchasing info record. In the purchase order and in the source list, you can enter an order unit that differs from the one in the purchasing info record.

If you wish to specify a different order unit for a requisition, you must assign a source with a different order unit to the requisition.

The field also determines whether you work with conditions for each order unit.

Try with this, may help you
