Unit of measure

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

I have two questions,

1. We have scenario, were we need 6 decimal places example: 1 each = .055557.

How can I enter this value in material master additional data?

2. We have already SAP implemented done for few plants, now we are rolling out for one more plant, In that plant we have few material for which we need 6 decimals, The current system is configured for 3 decimal for Kgs. How can we Handel this?

Thanks and Regards,

Hi

What do you want to enter in additional data? alternate unit of measure? then 1 EA = 1 each = .055557KG?

Then you need to enter 10000000EA = 55557KG then system will take care of rounding. You do not play with UOM settings in CUNI.

Hi Vijay,

Thanks for your reply,

I cannot enter more then 5 Char in Addation data, i.e 10000000EA = 55557KG is not possible, so is there any other way to handle?

you have hit a technical limitation. you cannot get any success by using the same material master. craete one for the big quantities and one for the tiny.

See OSS note 362932. It has all kind of information about conversion, rounding errors, recommendations on how to choose the correct base unit of measure.....

Hi

More decimal you keep, more issues will come. You can maintain the decimal places in Tcode CUNI.

If you want to change the existing unit of measure to new decimal places can be done. There should not be any open items either via stock or in the odering stage using the UOM.

Better create one new UOM and maintain the conversion in additional data in material master.

It will be easy.
