Change of ISO codes of UoM

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

i am facing the following general question - based on SRM 7.0, CS

On the R/3 side, we have three different systems in use, to which SRM is connected. All these different R/3 systems are having differences in the used UoM / ISO codes of UoM.

We are now trying to consolodate all these differences in one of the R/3 systems, before we than do the replication of the UoM data from that R/3 system to SRM.

As part of this consolidation, in all three R/3 systems there are some ISO codes, that would need to be changed.

Has anyone faced a smilirar consolidation task before?

I am looking for experiance pointers regarding the question, what points i would need to keep in mind and to test in these R/3 systems, if i change the ISO codes?

Thank you very much!

We faced a similar situation at one of our clients. Consolidating is not easily done. We said at the end that we have a 1:1 relation between ISO-Code and UoM in SRM and only make the UoM visible which exist in all systems.

We harmonized the UoM as followed:

Int. meas. Unit: PCE

Commercial: PCE

Technical: PCE

Long Text for UoM: Piece

Short Text for UoM: Piece

ISO-Code: PCE

Primary Code Flag: X

Commercial meas. unit: X

With the Commecial meas. unit you can have the UoM invisible.

Changing them in the ERP is almost impossible as they are used everywhere and this is a bigger task.

Have fun
