Stockkeeping in more than one unit

[Former Member]

Hi,

Is it possible to keep stock records of more than one unit for a single material? We are running a 4,6C IS-Retail and do not use WM in SAP.

Example: Material A have 12 PC per CAR and 50 CAR per PAL. But we can also have the material as an expo pallet, i e a pallet with 600 PC that are unbreakable in warehouse, ie only sold as a whole pallet.

It is not OK to just know that we have for example 1800 PC in WH. We must know that we have 2 "unbreakable" expo-pallets and 600 PC in 50 CAR.

Can we do this without needing to create two separate materials, one for the unbreakable expo-pallet and one for the PC/CAR-handling? We also need to be able to do different pricing on the expo-pallet and the PC/CAR.

If not now, will it be possible in ECC6.0 that we are upgrading to within a year?

best regards,

Glenn

Hi,

To my knowledge its only possible if you use warehouse management, In WH management its possible to stocks in a WM unit instead of the base unit.

in the MMR you could have

Base unit as No

Order Unit as KG

Order Price Unit as Ton and

WM unit as any thing else with necessary conversion maintained in MMR

Pl check

Hi,

'Stockkeeping unit' is the 'base unit of measure' in SAP (material master > basic 1).

You can define several alternative unit of measure for your material and check the stock in MMBE in different unit.

However this won't solve your problem since as I perceive you are speaking about 'Storage unit' (this is the SAP terminology).

It is possible only in WM, in IM you cannot use them.

Storage units play role only in your internal WH processes. If you want to track ypour packaging materials you have to use HU management.
