Base UoM in /SAPAPO/MAT1

[Former Member]

Hi Folks,

Is it possible to change the Base Uom in the /SAPAPO/MAT1?

I have bussines requirements where the ECC (R/3) material has to be changed to diff base Uom (it is not used yet).

now this chagnes will fo to APO through CIF but the CVC is created in APO and that's the reason it is failing in the CIF.

my integration model fails and i can not chagne the Uom in /SAPAPO/MAT1.

Is there anyway i can chagne the base Uom in APO.

Charlie, I think the easiest way is to delete the material in APO and re-cif.

/sapapo/mat1. Pull down menu Product > Flag for Deletion > Deletion Flag: Location Product.

The pop-up will ask delete immediately yes/no, choose yes. Then re-cif from R/3.

If you have dependent objects, like orders, transportation lanes, ppm/pds then you have to delete those too. From version 5.0 the wuf transaction helps identify these.

Charlie ,

Chris is right. There is no way to change the BUOM in APO. As Chris has mentioned only way is to delete and recif the material. I encountered the same issue and found OSS note 808472 which says the BUOM can be changed after this not is applied. But since we are using SCM 5.0 this note did not work. If you are using any of the earlier releases it is worth trying this note.

Thanks
