GR / Unit of measurement

[Former Member]

Hi all!

I am in a tricky situation.

My client is purchasing steel rods with constant dia.,say 20 cm dia. They are sending PO's in KGS and receiving it in Meters(M). For this there is no problem since i can go ahead with standard. But the problem is that they receive the rods in different meters as below,

Say 1KGS = 1M.

PO = 1000 KG.

GR= 1000 M.

10M = 30Nos,

20M = 20 Nos,

30M = 10 Nos.

Now how can i map this unit conversion breakage during GR. Also my client needs to see the same thing during MMBE. i.e., He want to see the stock overview as below,

Material code : xxxxxx

Total Quantities : 2000 m

10 m = x Nos

20 m = x Nos

30 m = x Nos.

How can we map this.

Note : The length is not going to be std and may keep on changing like 23M, 17M, 37M, 50M etc...

Thx in advance,

Raj.

You can Overcome this Issue by Configuring Batch Management. As It is not possible to Create all the Material Codes.

If you need to know how many Nos per lenght you have in stock, then you either need to have a seperate material number or need to use batch managment.

The batch number could just be that easy as 10M, 23M, 17M.

If you do batch managment anyway for the material with other number logic and want still use one material number, then the option left is batch specific unit of measures.

Hi !

But if i go for batch.. My problem is that of conversion of kg unit with that of Nos. since numbers is my receiving unit and batching is done by length( i.e.M). On what basis can i convert Kg to Nos as Kg can be received in any Nos... What i have to give in additional data of material master i.e. 1 kg = ? No.

Thx in advance,

Raj.

Hai,

You can map thro' batch management.
