Change of SAP basic unit of measurement [Switch]

Once a business occurs after a material is created in SAP, it is difficult to modify its basic measurement unit. Because the Organization cannot meet business requirements, it is often required to create a new material to replace the old one. In this case, in addition to deleting all the outstanding services on the old materials, you also need to replace the old materials in the process and BOM. In particular, when old materials exist in multiple Bom, CS20 cannot be used for unified replacement due to inconsistent old and new material units. It can only be replaced by one item, which is very difficult to operate. In fact, not all basic measurement units of materials with business operations cannot be modified. We can modify the units directly or flexibly by settling outstanding businesses or adding alternative units, meet our business needs.
The SAP material master data has the following four units, which exist in different views respectively. JingTestThe results of different usage are as follows:

1. Basic Unit of measurement
In SAP, the basic unit of measurement of a material is its book inventory unit, which is located in basic view 1. The basic unit of measurement is placed above all organization levels. That is, only one basic unit of measurement can be used for a material number. Under normal circumstances, the basic measurement unit of materials is the same as the other three measurement units (Sales Unit, order unit, and delivery unit. Of course, it can also be defined as different. At this time, we need to define the Conversion Relationship between other units and basic units of measurement. The relationship between them can be found by displaying non-materials through mm03 -- click "additional data" -- Select the "measurement unit" Column (as shown in ).

 

When you change the basic unit of measurement, if the system contains Bom, process route, purchase application, unfinished purchase order, planned order, unfinished production order, unfinished sales order, reservation, or any of the items in stock, the system prompts that the organization cannot be modified. Therefore, if you want to modify this basic unit, you need to complete the outstanding business flow (including Po, receipt, invoice, etc.) of the material, delete the BOM and process, clear the inventory of the material, and then change the unit, finally, restore business data such as inventory, BOM, and process. In addition, if the material only contains the purchase information record, supply list, agreement and other content, the basic unit of measurement can be directly modified, the system will only give a prompt. However, after the basic measurement unit is modified, it also needs to modify the relevant procurement information records, supply list, agreements, and other content. Otherwise, this material cannot be processed in the system for subsequent procurement and receipt operations. In short, the change to the basic unit of measurement requires that the material has no quantity, amount, and data that affects incomplete or future operations.

 

2. Sales Unit
In SAP, the sales unit is the default unit used in the sales process. It is located in the sales organization data 1 view of the primary data, as shown in ). The sales organization is affiliated with the sales organization and distribution channel, that is, different sales organizations and distribution channels can select different sales units. However, when "the sales unit is unchangeable" is selected, all sales organizations can only use the same unit. After a sales unit is created, the new sales unit will be used for the newly created sales order, and the old basic measurement unit will still be used for existing sales units. When the warehouse delivers the goods to the sales order, the system automatically converts the sales unit to the basic measurement unit and then ships the goods. If the system has a new sales unit, the Sales Unit in the primary data cannot be changed.

 

If the customer's demand unit is inconsistent with the inventory unit, you can consider using the sales unit.

 

3. Order Unit
In SAP, the order unit is the purchase unit. It is located in the master data purchase view (as shown in ). The Procurement Unit is affiliated to the factory organization, that is, different factories can select different procurement units. After the order unit is created, the new order unit will be used for the newly created purchase application, purchase contract, and purchase information records, however, the basic measurement units that are still used in the previous purchase applications, procurement contracts, and procurement information records are used, and the basic measurement units will also be used in procurement applications generated based on the existing procurement information. Therefore, when creating a new order unit, you must remember to modify the existing purchase information records and supply list. In addition, the "variable unit" option (such as the Red Line Mark) related to the purchasing unit is also included in the primary data ), it controls the purchase information record and whether the units in the supply list can be different from the Order units in the primary data (this is useful, because different suppliers of the same material may have different sales units ).

 

When the warehouse receives the goods from the purchase order, the system automatically converts the order unit to the basic measurement unit and then enters the database. Once the system has an outstanding procurement business with a new order unit, the Procurement Unit in the primary data cannot be changed.
If the supplier and the Inventory Unit are inconsistent, you can consider using the order unit. Of course, it can also be used as a flexible method to solve the problem of the basic measurement unit.
4. Shipping Unit
In SAP, the Shipping Unit is the default unit for warehouse delivery ,. It is also located in the master data factory data storage 1 View (as shown in) and work plan view. The shipping unit is affiliated to the factory organization, that is, different factories can select different shipping units. After a new shipping unit is created for an item, if it is created as a BOM item, a new shipping unit will be used for the newly created receipt and delivery orders (such as 561 and 562) the new shipping unit is also used by default. However, the basic unit of measurement is still used for the planned order, production order, existing BOM sub-item, and reservation of this item. Therefore, when creating a new shipping unit, you must remember to modify the existing Bom.

When the warehouse delivers the BOM of the production order, the system automatically converts the Shipping Unit in the BOM sub-item into the basic measurement unit and then delivers the goods. If the system has a new BOM item or a reserved item, the Shipping Unit in the master data cannot be changed.

Finally, we hope that the introduction of these four units will help you have more ways to deal with the unreasonable data defined by previous units.

Why is the internal input and external display of the measurement unit inconsistent?

This is because the conversion operation is performed on the metering unit. The value is set in the domain of the measurement unit field. The corresponding conversion rule function module is conversion_exit_cunit_output. The system will automatically convert.
