UOM in APO

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I tried cifing materials to SCM, and got an error stating that the unit of measure 'BOX' is not available in APO. How can I import ECC units of measures into APO, or configure them in APO?

yOUR inputs are very valuable and thanks in advance..

Thanks

Hi Vardev,

You can create in SCM ..SPRO-SAP NETWEAVER-- General Settings--Check UNIT OF Measurement.

or you can suck from ECC .. T code RSA1 under source system SAP R/3 (if source system not present then create one) .Transfer Global settings

cheers

Hi Vardev,

I assume you have Base UoM and Diff UoM for Planning Area. If yes, then You would have to work APO CIF related inbound user exit. APOCF005 enhancement.

Base UoM gets CIFed from R/3 to APO. As long as you maintain UoM conversions from base UoM to planning area UoM in the material master, this should work. So using the APO inbound enhancement I mentioned, you can ensure that the product master captures the conversion parameters from base to planning area UoM.

Hi Vardev,

Is your question still unanswered ?

Pavan, Senthil,

I tried both methods and it worked. Overall I followed Pavan's method.

Thanks guys for the help.

Hi Vardev,

Under transaction code CUNI in APO, could you try updating

the unit of measure BOX and then retry.

Please do confirm your findings

Hi Vardev,

As pavan said, you can directly maintain UOM's in APO or extract from R/3 through RSA1.

It is better to rebuilt the global settings to sinc the both systems.
