Material Conversion in MB1B

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to post material no.413003 to material no. 160003 through MB1B through movement type 309, but its not happening showing following error.

" Stockkeeping unit EA and KG differ "

Material Code 413003 (Brass component) base unit is EA and storage location is SCRP plant 101

Material Code 160003 (Brass scrap) base unit is KG and storage location is SCRP plant 101

For 413003 - In Material master additional tab following entries there

1 EA each <==> 1 EA each

1 KG kg <==> 14706 EA each

Also I given "Unit of issue" field in Material master Plant data/ Storage location view as KG in 413003 and conversion factor as 14706, but still the same error is showing in MB1B.

I Tried to delete 1st entry from additional tab in material master for 413003 but system won't allow to delete stating error message is "The base unit of measure can not be deleted"

regards

Hi Nithin

To do the transfer posting i.e material to material with 309 mvt type first mandatory thing both material should have same base unit of measure even though you maintained conversion factor in material master it will enough .

Dear Balarajumm

Thanks for your reply.

I can't change the base unit, because its need of the business, sometimes some products uses KG and EA units simultenously. Without changing base unit, please let me know how I can transfer from one material to another material. If mov,type 309 doesn't work OK, I will follow other procedure which solve my issue, but I can't change base unit of the material.

do 551 movement for the issuing material and a 552 for the receiving material

or use 201/202 movement

or use 561/562 movement

or use physical inventory and count material1 to zero and count the quantity on material2

of course the price will not flow in that case. and you may have to adjust the price with MR21 according to calculations
