Unit of measure in Product master

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I have a product with below UOMs. I am trying to place this product with 1 PAC in a bin which has capacity of 510 kg.

How does the system calculates for this product weight to place in bin?

Thank you...

Sridhar,

You will first need to maintain a KG <> EA conversion so that SAP can determine how much 1 PAC weighs.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your reply and time.

There is already 1 EA = 99.80 KG maintained .. Is that not correct?

Thankyou..

Hi Sridhar,

It is straight forward logic. And, you UOM Maintenance is also fine

1 EA = 99.80 KG

1 PAC  = 590 EA.

Total weight of 1 PAC = 590 * 99.80 KG

1 PAC = 58882 KG Total.

Shridar,

I was looking for a UOM like 10 EA <> 998 KG, but for what you are doing, it is true that specifying the gross & net weight should be sufficient to determine if this will fit in a bin.  But looking at the numbers I think you have something wrong.  Satish performed the math right, but I have never seen a PAC that weighs 58882 KG.  It is theoretically possible of course, but that's bigger than any shipping container I have ever seen so I suspect there is an error.  Did you perhaps mean 1 PAC to weigh 99.8 KG?

Hello Dave,

I took the calculation from Sridhar Screen shot. He mentioned 1 EA as 99.98 KG. Which is equal to 100 KG each component. It must be Heavy Component like Big Engine.

And, He menstions, 1 PAC = 590 Eaches. that meants, If we convert as 1 PAC into KGs,

    1 PAC = 590 Ea * 99.80 KG/EA

    1 PAC = 58988 KG.

I agree with  you, Having 1 PAC such a huge weight is more like theoretical and not practical.

Sridhar might have taken it as example weight or, the weight must be in Grams instead of KGs.

Sathish,

Yes, I followed your math and you did it exactly right.  So if this is a real example, then I think something is wrong.  As you suggested this may be a made up example or maybe it should be Grams instead of KG.  Hopefully Sridhar can confirm.

Thank you very much, Satish and Dave.

I think this is wrong UOMs maintained in product.

Thank you...
